M&D Orlando Academy

 

WHAT IS THE ACADEMY

M&D Orlando Academy offers three seasonal sessions each year - Spring, Summer, and Fall - designed for beginner to intermediate lacrosse players. This program is open to all players, with no tryouts required. You can simply sign up and get started.

 

The Academy covers all essential aspects of lacrosse, including fundamentals, stick work, footwork, and game IQ. Each practice is structured with 45 minutes dedicated to drills and skill development, followed by 45 minutes of intrasquad scrimmages, allowing players to put their skills into practice in a game-like environment.

 

It’s a great opportunity to build a strong foundation in lacrosse while progressing at your own pace. Whether you are brand new to the sport of lacrosse, a current rec player looking for an additional environment to advance your skills, or a club player looking for extra reps, the Academy is for you!
