2013 MEMPHIS ELITE TRAINING CAMP

June 4-5
Rhodes College, Memphis, TN

Directors:

Jack Sandler: Head Coach Skidmore College (DIII)
Ryan Wellner: Assistant Coach U.S. Naval Academy (DI)
Dave Zazzaro: Head Coach Rhodes College (DIII)

Each summer 1000’s of players will spend 1000’s of dollars driving and flying across the country,  equipment bag slung over their shoulder, Mom and Dad dutifully supporting, encouraging and investing in their child’s aspiration to “play at the next level”. 

With 100’s of events to choose from and staffs stretched thin to cover these events the window of opportunity excel and stand out in front of the schools of your choice is shrinking. That window may be as small a coach at event X allocating one half of one game to see you or your club team play. 

How do you perform at a level, in that moment, to ensure that that coach, event binder perched on his lap in his $5 Wal-Mart Collapsible Canopy Chair will take his pen, bow his head and write positive notes about your son’s play? 

ByrneMethod Lacrosse Summer School aims to create a 36 Hour boot camp that brings laser focus to these 13 Skills (The Recruited Players’ Skill Portfolio)  by position (both obvious and some hidden) that will allow you to enhance your shot, defense & save % (obvious skills) as well as demonstrate hidden/”invisible skills” that only the trained eye of the college coach can see.
