Box Travel Teams - Winter 2018

January 8th through February 18th
Picture
Our mission is to facilitate a lacrosse opportunity for your boys to grow into young men both on and off the field. Through experiences in the athletic classroom, it is our sincere goal that every one of our players hones his lacrosse skills and becomes a better player while harnessing those experiences to grow as an individual.

At CitySideLax, our founding principle is P.I.C.A. (Preparation, Innovation, Connection and Accountability). By adhering to P.I.C.A., we are able to achieve our overarching purpose of “Perfecting F.U.N.” (Fundamentals, Understanding, and Next level) through everything we do. What this means is that we do not choose our family members based purely on skill or production on the field; instead we look at the overall person and how they can improve and positively represent the CSL community.

It is not a right to be a member of the CSL family, but rather an earned privilege. Creating a highly competitive, extremely skilled team is important to us. We select our team members based on how they embody P.I.C.A. in striving to Perfect F.U.N., in conjunction with their performance on the field.

At CitySideLax we value our coaching staff's robust box lacrosse background and teaching the game the right way. Our Box Travel Teams are designed for those players looking to take their overall game to the next level by competing in two of the best box lacrosse tournaments offered in the United States.

Our approach to box lacrosse is a bit different then most. By focusing on the core principles of box lacrosse such as 2-man game and offensive/defensive principles we develop box lacrosse players which will, in turn, develop great field players. This is not field lacrosse played with boards, this is box lacrosse as it is meant to be played. That said, box lacrosse is a great alternative training method for players to develop their game, helping players look at lacrosse from a different perspective. Box stick-skills and concepts are extremely valuable and transferable to the outdoor game.

Teams will be made up of 16-18 players, two of which will be goalies.

The CitySide Player Zone

At CitySideLax many of our players have goals of competing at the collegiate level, and so it is our goal to do all we can to help them get recruited to the college or university that is the right fit for them, where they can thrive as a student-athlete.  To support them during the recruiting process we have created a comprehensive recruiting and player development platform, which we call the Player Zone.  

Every player who competes for a CitySideLax travel team can take advantage of the following services:
  • Dedicated Recruiting Coordinator
  • Recruiting Packet – covering the step-by-step recruiting process
  • StudentPrep comprehensive college planning – a custom college preparatory platform
  • Volt Athletics strength and conditioning service – a custom, lacrosse-specific training platform
  • Thrive mental-performance training service- to keep our student-athletes mentally sharp

In addition to the above services, we have developed relationships with some of the premier lacrosse-event companies in the country. These relationships allow our players, through coaches’ nomination, the opportunity to attend some of the nation’s best recruiting events. Our relationships include, but are not limited to:
  • Legends Lacrosse - Legends West Team
  • Sports Academy
  • Adrenaline Lacrosse
  • NXT Lacrosse

All travel-team players will have access to the full Player Zone as soon as they are placed on a travel-team roster.
