Speed, Strength, & Skill is a program designed to focus on individual player development of fundamental skills while incorporating lacrosse specific speed and strength work.  These small group settings allow for individual attention.  The player to coach ratio will not exceed 7:1.   Each dynamic 90 minute session will begin with an intensive speed and strength program lead by a professional Speed & Strength Coach.  This will be followed by a 45 minute skill specific session created to mimic a collegiate level individual/small group instructional.  Each skill session will be led by a professional level coach from the Pittsburgh Premier Lacrosse Staff.
 
Speed, Strength, and Skill is a progression based program currently devised of 3 Levels.  This unique approach allows players to focus on building proper mechanics in each of 6 defined skill sets through small groups, continuous correction, and high repetition   Proficiency must be achieved in all 6 skills sets to graduate to the next level.  Proficiency is defined as the ability to execute the skill with accuracy and at speed.  At the conclusion of each session, players will receive a written evaluation incorporating both components, speed/strength and proficiency of skill.
