Performance Lacrosse - a Division of Performance Sport Systems, LLC

It is not just the athlete on whom Performance Lacrosse focuses, it is the whole person.   Performance Lacrosse's programs and coaches stress that it is important always to be respectful of others, on and off of the field; to treat others as you yourself want to be treated; to excel in the classroom; to make the right decisions, not the easy decisions; and to be a leader.

ATHLETE:  Our mission at Performance Lacrosse is to help beginner, intermediate and elite players become the best performing athletes AND lacrosse players.  We do this through our commitment to a program that includes a combination of lacrosse-specific skills, speed and agility work, strength training and dynamic game play.  At Performance Lacrosse, we believe in starting with the fundamentals, from the basics of catching, shooting, throwing and cradling, and working toward a more advanced focus on individual, position-specific skills.  The addition of agility, speed and strength work, along with game play, rounds out this program. 

STUDENT: The importance of studying hard, maintaining excellent grades and achieving good board scores while in high school cannot be emphasized enough.  It is such an academic record, coupled with the ability to play lacrosse at your highest level, that will provide you with many more options than either one alone.

LEADER:  Leadership starts with self-definition, what you might call creating your own personal brand. Sustaining a well-regarded personal brand requires a lot of hard work, careful attention to detail, uncompromising commitment to quality and value – that is, always think about how others may perceive what you say and your actions. There’s a cost – in time and effort – that goes into sustaining a brand – but it is nothing compared to the cost and effort required to recover a brand that has been damaged. And sometimes, usually through actions that are thoughtless or careless, the damage to your personal brand that results from inappropriate actions can compromise all of your previous efforts.

Performance Lacrosse's programs stress both leadership development and community service. Our coaches emphasis the development of leadership skills both on and off the field, which are reinforced through our leadership webinars. In addition, Performance Lacrosse looks for opportunities for our players to be involved in ways to give back to the community, from providing volunteer assistant coaching at youth clinics and camps to helping with used-equipment drives. Performance Lacrosse also strongly believes in giving back to the community.  In an effort to provide educational opportunities, we offer both paid and for-credit internship positions to high school students in the areas of web-site design and technology, accounting, marketing, general business and coaching.
