BDM LAX develops great lacrosse players by focusing on skills, drills, demanding team play, and tournament opportunities.
Over the past three years:
- We have worked with the IA league MVP runner up, over a dozen All-League players, and nearly 2 dozen All-District players.
- These players have led their teams to District Championships and State Championship contests.
- We have had 5 players selected for the U.S. Lacrosse Women's Division National Tournament.
- Examples of rising stars from last year's Fall Ball program include Jenn Doyle (Coral Shores, 44 goals, 1st Team All-District after one season of Fall Ball), The Casariego Twins (went from 7th grade beginners to high school varsity starters at Palmer Trinity after one season of Fall Ball).
- We have 5 players simultaneously playing for Florida's Premier Club Lacrosse Program, LaxManiax - 100% of the players we recommended to that program made their team tryout.
Summer:
• We are having 3 open practice "Summer Lacrosse Days" on: June 26th, July 10th & August 14th.

• As always:
- Solid skills are emphasized and bad habits discouraged.
- We work as much on LAX IQ and field view....
