PLAYERS 360 LACROSSE YOUTH, SELECT & ELITE GIRLS TEAMS

Play for the premier youth club team in the Western Suburbs, work with experienced coaches from all areas and levels of the game. Our goal is to grow the sport at the youth level by introducing higher level concepts while focusing on perfecting fundamental concepts, ideally, these players will have a seamless transition as the progress to the High School and later the College level. Focusing on growing skills as well as a passion for the game & athletic principles, in general, is also an integral part of this process.

Players 360 is a program created to develop your daughter as an athlete with a holistic approach; developing not only her individual skills as an athlete but implementing strategy and smarts when playing with a team. Our program prioritizes character development, promotes leadership, and represents athletes with great sportsmanship.

Our Teams

Youth programs include 12U and 14U and each have age appropriate developmental goals in mind as well as varying levels of intensity to compliment each age groups priorities. These teams have a focus on practice and instruction and feature schedules that include regional and national exposure.

HS programs are based on an Elite and Select model in which skill is not the sole factor in team placement. Select team schedules are more regionally based and expectations include flexibility for multi-sport athletes and busy students. Elite team schedules are nationally based and expectations are firm on commitment level. These flexible options are designed to fit the diverse needs of our program’s athletes and at the same time continue on in our tradition of excellence at the HS level.

Our Program Structure

Program Structure

The “360” name is deeper than what we put on our jerseys, our goal is to develop each player completely – or 360 degrees.

The facets of our program we hope to focus on and implement for our athletes are:

o Skill Development as a Foundation
o Field Strategy and Smarts
o Athleticism and Fitness
o Nutrition and Healthy Habits
o Character, Sportsmanship and Leadership Development by Example

We are firmly committed to developing our athletes on and off the field and are excited to include some goal setting within the season and in their career as a lacrosse athlete. We will be having the girls make some team and individual goals for both long and short-term and aim to hit those goals while working with them. The athletes will be required to complete self-evaluation about their performance followed by a coach’s feedback.
