Athlete Centered Excellence Program (ACE)

Athlete-Centred Excellence (ACE) High Performance Program

Elevate your game with the ACE High Performance Program, tailored for athletes ready to advance and optimize their performance. This program integrates evidence-based research with the NCCP (National Coaching Certification Program) and LTAD (Long Term Athletic Development) models.

A higher level of development. A stronger, smarter, more confident player.

Athletes will train on the floor to sharpen their skills and apply them in game situations. Off the floor, they’ll build strength and athleticism through age-appropriate strength and conditioning. Sessions will also develop lacrosse IQ, tactical understanding, and the ability to read and respond to the game.

ACE is designed to help athletes become active participants in their own development. Through goal setting, reflection, and practical guidance, players will learn how to prepare with purpose, take ownership of their progress, and keep improving beyond each session.

ACE Program Includes

• 10-20 hours of on-floor training, depending on age group, focused on box lacrosse skills and competitive play.
• Box lacrosse specific off-season strength and conditioning, supplemented by in-person gym sessions.
• Virtual tactical sessions covering team strategies in defence, transition, offence, and special teams.
• Virtual lacrosse IQ sessions to build players’ understanding of the game and decision-making.
• A virtual goal-setting session to help athletes identify development priorities and take ownership of their progress.
• And more to support athletes’ development on and off the floor.
