PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

We are South Florida's longest running travel lacrosse program.  We strive to provide high-quality coaching in a supportive environment designed to develop our players to the best of their ability.  We reinforce strong fundaments and introduce advanced techniques and concepts.  We teach lacrosse along with life lessons. We teach stickwork and integrity side-by-side.  We continually educate our coaches on new techniques, concepts, consistent terminology, skills and drills.   We will carry these philosophies through all our programs.  Our coaches will inspire in our players to push themselves.  We are genuinely good people teaching players how to be the best they can be and, more importantly, how to respect the game.   We love what we do and take pride in doing it very well.  We seek families who appreciate the quality of our programs.
 
PROGRAM FOCUS
Skill and Lacrosse IQ assessments at tryouts Regimented Practice Plans
Player Accountability for Learning Skills Parental Involvement in Player Development
   
We hold our players accountable for learning and using the skills we teach each season.  We provide tools to our parents to assist us in the process.  We empower their teammates to hold players accountable for the skill learning and execution.  We want our players to execute the fundamentals of this game at the highest level.

 
FALL CROSS TRAINERS
(FOOTBALL, HOCKEY)
BARRACUDAS support our players cross training in other sports like tackle football, basketball, soccer, and hockey.  Cross training helps round out the athlete in mind and body.  Most players are done their fall sports prior to most of the Barracudas Travel tournaments.   If you wish to be a part of the "FOOTBALL PLAYER" PROGRAM please indicate so on your tryout registration.   Players must attend tryouts.
Cost:   Reduced rate to be determined on case-by-case basis


DIVISIONS:
US Lacrosse is recommending all programs move to either single year age divisions or 2 your divisions using the EVEN number as the older group.   This is a CHANGE from previous fall seasons.  Here is the US Lacrosse age chart for reference.  The teams that played together this summer will stay together in fall 2017 and summer 2018.
