We are proud to announce our Team 91 Gold Winter training program. This will be our most intensive box training curriculum to date, and we are excited to help our players learn how to play box lacrosse, evolve their technical and tactical skills, and build toward competitive teams that will compete against local, national, and eventually international competition. In addition to our experienced coaches, we will also bring in guest professional coaches to help implement our box curriculum. 91 Gold is open to players from all clubs and demographic areas.

Team 91 Gold will have operate through three main evolution systems:

 

  1. CQ/Box Training - Close Quarters Training will focus on increasing skill development by maximizing reps, pace, 2 man/3 man systems, and field awareness/iq. CQ training will layer fundamental and advanced skills in an environment where players learn to master decision making, how to initiate/leverage contact, and master new skills and movement patterns. CQ training is recommended for field and box players of all positions. Winter training will include 8 high intensity sessions. 

 

  1. Box Travel Teams - Box teams will be formed through tryouts and compete in 1-2 tournaments in the winter and summer months. Our tournament programming will start in the Summer of 2026. Players who attend CQ sessions will be most prepared for 91 Gold tryouts in the Fall. 

 

  1. Pro Player Clinics - we will be bringing out some of the best players in box lacrosse to run clinics and skill sessions.
