5 Awesome Sports for Lacrosse Players in the Offseason
We say this lots of times here, but it's worth saying again — great lacrosse teams are made during the season, but great lacrosse players are made in the offseason.

Should there be some lacrosse work if they're interested in taking their game to the next level? Well, of course! We suggest finding a GameBreaker Lacrosse Camp nearby that will allow them to not only get better on the field, but to also accomplish it in a fun and positive environment. Outside of [Read More>]
How to Make Lacrosse Practice Fun For Goalies
It takes a special kind of person who wants to be a lacrosse goalie. Having that person step forward as a youth player is pretty rare because not only can they take a beating during any given game, practices aren’t all that fun.

In order to develop into a great goalie, they need to learn and grow in a positive and fun environment. We keep that in mind for our GameBreaker Lacrosse Camps. All of our Camp Directors know what kind of person it takes to be a successful goalie and still come out of the other side enjoying [Read More>]
5 Lacrosse Drills to Improve Your Stick Skills
Regardless of the level of play, an essential part of any lacrosse player's game is how they're able to control their stick during both games and practices. Since stickhandling is such a critical part of any lax player's game, mastering that particular technique in various situations will lead to that confidence rubbing off in other places on the field. There's also no substitute for a lacrosse team that can effectively catch and throw passes to one another under pressure. There are a lot of defensive strategies that help lead to success, but if a squad has this one fundamental part of the game down, it'll be hard for their opponents to stop them. For youth lacrosse players who are more beginners than anything else, it's important [Read More>]
3 Myths About Youth Lacrosse
Lacrosse is an amazing game, but sometimes we can get caught up in everything that comes with it, like the competition. And we’re not just talking about the competition that takes place on the field – we’re talking about the comparing and contrasting that may go on between parents, coaches, and more. It’s important to know what’s really important for your child, especially at the early stages of their athletic career. If there’s too much pushing that goes on, it could force a child to just drop the sport completely, which is pretty common as they approach their teenage years. That’s definitely not what a parent’s goal is when they first sign their child up to give the sport a try – they hope they have [Read More>]
