About Us
Team36 is a travel select team based in southern twin cities metro. Our mission is to develop players through individual training, team instruction and elite competition at travel tournaments.
Our staff features 20 coaches that have played or currently play college Lacrosse. Our directors have over 30 years combined coaching experience. Players in our program receive a complete fall/winter off-season training program as well as full summer team travel season.
DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH
We began as a training program in 2013 when we realized that lacrosse players needed more opportunity to hone individual skills in addition to their travel and town teams. We started offering small group training to committed players throughout the year and quickly realized the demand and effectiveness of our approach. As our training program grew, the kids in training wanted an opportunity to compete together and showcase their skills, and Team36 was born. We approach lacrosse development in three areas:
INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
In order to play lacrosse at a high level, players must have strong fundamental skills as a base to execute team systems at full speed. At Team36, our off-season SDP training program is included in the team fees for players to develop and refine skills before their spring/summer season.
TEAM/ON-FIELD PRACTICE
We use on-field team practices to work on situational concepts and team systems. Players will get to practice high energy drills in both small sided situations and full field situations. This allows us to teach the game effectively, develop “lax IQ” and make sure players are getting reps/experience in these situations.
COMPETITION
Of course, playing the game of lacrosse with and against people is important to applying the skills/training that are being worked on during the off-season. Getting the game experience playing in real live situations helps players learn to perform under pressure and work as a team to accomplish a common goal. Having an opportunity to compete against good teams from across the region/nation while applying the skills learned in training and practice is essential to “putting it all together.”
