Average Performance Improvements

• 0.2 – 0.4 seconds in 40 yards which equals 6 – 10 feet of separation;
• 2 – 4 inches of vertical jump height;
• 5 – 8 inches in standing long jump distance;
• 4.5 - 9 mph in shooting speed velocity;
• 20% gain in peak force and power;

Super Treadmill: Research has shown that incline running on our unique, hydraulically controlled Super Treadmill provides 200-300% more recruitment of the muscles responsible for increasing and maintaining speed, than running on level ground at the same stride frequency. This specialized training is crucial for improving the overall speed and acceleration needed for general lacrosse play.

Plyometrics: Plyometric training includes a variety of footwork drills and special exercises that enhance an athlete’s ability to stay balanced and change directions quickly and explosively for changing direction, moving around defenders, and proper defensive positioning.

Strength Training: Through the use of specially designed weight equipment and an individualized program, lacrosse athletes can develop and increase their overall strength base, contributing to more forceful shots on goal.
