What's Offered

Speed, Strength & Shooting
We build complete athletes through our Speed, Strength, and Shooting classes. Each session is designed to give players the edge—explosive speed to separate from defenders, strength to compete with confidence, and shooting precision to finish plays under pressure. With expert trainers and focused instruction, our athletes develop the physical power and on-field skills needed to dominate the game.
Offensive and Defensive Training
We train men’s and women’s players across every position—offensive and defensive. Our specialized classes give attackers and midfielders the tools to create, dodge, and finish, while defenders and goalies sharpen their footwork, positioning, and decision-making. With expert coaching and tailored instruction, every athlete develops the skills and confidence to impact the game, no matter their role on the field.
Private Training & Featured Trainers
Players have the rare opportunity for private 1-on-1 training with Dylan Donahue, a former Syracuse and professional standout. Beyond our regular schedule, we also bring in current Division I athletes, PLL pros, and former elite players to lead limited-time specialty classes. These sessions give athletes direct access to the insights, skills, and experience of the game’s best—training opportunities that fill quickly and elevate players to the next level.
