Weekly SUNDAY Breakdown of Practice and Games:

Our Philosophy:
We know lacrosse and how to build and develop lacrosse players of
all ages and ability levels. We will focus on developing each
player’s skills, fitness, and footwork to develop a more confident
and improved lacrosse athlete. We will reinforce our practice in
each weekly scrimmage/game and help the players to understand the
real sport of lacrosse from the eyes of current and former lacrosse
players and coaches. We will not burn out our players nor keep score
at our games other than just for fun. We support the growth of local
spring youth leagues by developing the talent and experience of
youth players throughout the First Coast.
We guarantee that if players attend every practice and participate
in all the FCL games that they will improve. For young players,
improving skill sets is the ticket to long-term success in the
sport.
Younger/newer players may have additional clinic time/modified games
in lieu of full-field/7v7 games to ensure proper skill acquisition
and player development. We will work with every player at the
age/skill level they are showing currently.
Weekly Instructors Include Current JU Coaches and Players like:
Mindy McCord (Head Coach, JU Dolphins)
Adam Norton (Offensive Coordinator, JU Dolphins)
Jen Heup (Defensive Coordinator, JU Dolphins)
Paul McCord (Midfield/Special Teams Coordinator, JU Dolphins)
Becoming a great lacrosse player is about learning the right skills
at a young age and building upon these skill sets. FLC strives to
help local area players become the top players in the nation through
specific instruction and a fun environment.
