Summary: Our training philosophy is simple: world-class instruction from world-class defenders. The waters of lacrosse instruction are murky, and we want to help you navigate. Does that mean we only work with elite players? No. But it does mean that - regardless of skill level - players are going to receive the best defensive instruction in the world.

D-Days: A series of defensive training sessions developed by world-class defenders Kyle Hartzell and Tucker Durkin. Note: Tucker Durkin and Kyle Hartzell will BOTH be hosting and training for our Boca Raton D-Day event.

Where: Florida Atlantic University - Henderson Field, located at 777 Glades Rd, Boca Raton, FL 33431.

When: Sunday, June 11th from 10AM-12PM.

Who: Session will be segmented by age-group, with high-school and middle-school groups competing separately. This will ensure an appropriate matching of skill. Players should have at least one year of playing experience, just so there is a foundation to build upon. D-Day training sessions are designed to help players of all skill levels improve, so don't worry about skill gaps or potential inexperience. We all share the common goal of improvement - regardless of our skill level today.

Small Group Training: 1-hour of small group (5 player max) training to take place after each D-Day event. Small group training provides an opportunity for additional  personalized instruction to ensure players maximize growth and potential. Each small group training will include video critique and feedback areas for improvement.

Recruiting: Top players from each region will be invited to join the Defensive Academy national recruiting event. This is a one-of-a-kind event matching defensive talent with top colleges. Only players that perform at a level consistent with college recruiting will be invited to join. Our goal is to train players to maximize their potential first-and-foremost, but we will only move players forward for recruiting that are ready for the rigors of college play.

Questions: Email tucker@defensiveacademy.com with any questions. We understand you have options with lacrosse training, and we want you to be comfortable with whichever route you choose - especially ours.
