14U Youth Futures
WHO:
Milwaukee and Madison based teams that consist of players graduating from high school in 2028 & 2029
OBJECTIVE:
Significant focus on skills and game IQ development, led by experienced player development coaches. Players master basic team systems and advance to intermediate strategies, while learning HS-level defending, dodging, and scoring techniques. Play speed and physicality is appropriately increased to prepare players for the challenges of Varsity high school lacrosse. The 14U Futures play extensively within the region, before branching out to face competition throughout the Midwest.
Method:
Part-whole, progressive drillwork with a consistent focus on individual repetition, strong foundations, and applied team concept. Coaches develop key tenets of positivity, effort, teamwork, team celebration, and a confident learner’s mindset through effective modeling, correction, inclusion, and positive feedback. A part-whole, team-offense framework includes progressive “numbers” situations, groundball scrambles, 5-outlets rules, motion concept rules, making space, filling space, and re-attacking the backside. Defensively, our players learn to navigate in a team-defense structure of “guarding two,” slides, recovery, posture, pick-play, and communication. Our players finish the season with a foundation of lacrosse skills, instinct, confidence and teamwork that prepares them for high school and guides their continued development.
