COACHING STAFF

  • Boys Program: Bryan Brazill, Peter Smyth, and Scott Corcoran
  • Girls Program: Kristy Robertson and Jess Upton

FORMAT & STRUCTURE

  • Position-Based Training: Players are grouped by position—Midfield, Attack, and Defense—rather than by age.
  • Individualized Work: Every player works with their own ball, target net, and direct feedback from the coaching staff. Age or athleticism gaps won’t slow down high-level reps.
  • Mentorship Model: Younger athletes learn to match the pace and work ethic of older players, while veterans sharpen their own understanding by mentoring younger teammates.

POSITION CLINIC BREAKDOWNS

  • Attack & Midfield (Offensive Development)

    • Precision Fundamentals: Advanced stick work, stick protection, and footwork efficiency.
    • Dodging & Vision: Focuses on initial dodges, re-dodging, deception, and reading defense progressions to feed accurately.
    • Biomechanics of Shooting: Optimizing kinetic movement for maximum shot power, accurate releases, and creative finishes from tough angles.
    • Note: Attack and Midfield groups mirror these concepts while focusing on their distinct field positions and angles.

  • Defense

    • Core Fundamentals: Footwork, stick work, approach, slide angles, and takeaway checks.
    • Tactical Execution: Arriving and holding double-teams, peel-off timing, and field communication.
    • Live-Action Reps: Defensive groups utilize volunteer offensive players to simulate real-game speed and game-like scenarios.

REGISTRATION & POLICIES

  • Priority Access: These high-demand clinics sell out quickly. Session I participants earn right of first refusal for Session II. Session II participants retain right of first refusal for Session III.
