About NLA
NLA Futures is our elite training for lacrosse players in grades 6-8 driven to take their game to the next level.
NLA Futures matches a player’s intensity with small-group, position-based instruction. We use an age-appropriate curriculum that is modeled off Division I training.
Players will receive constant feedback from our team of staple and guest coaches. We keep group sizes small while players work with positional experts. In order to provide an optimum training experience, registration is open to any and all but space for NLA Futures is limited by grad year and position.
This isn’t the time to run through the motions, make it matter!
