9AM-11AM: STATIONS
For each day, we will begin with full-field stickwork and stretching. This is what made me a better player at Johns Hopkins University. We will be implementing a lot of the same drills and explanations that have allowed myself and other professional athletes to excel on all levels. Every morning is dedicated to station work. These are minimal contact drills with maximum repetition. Before each station, the coaching staff will demo a specific drill and technique to increase the knowledge and ability of each player in attendance. Water breaks included.

11AM-12PM: LIVE DRILLS
For an hour between lunch we will work on 1 v 1’s and 2 v 2’s. Staff members will explain the importance of individual play that helps the team as a whole. We will work on playing on-ball and off-ball, offence and defense, from all different angles of the field.
