The extension of the Free Play Academy to the Faceoff X!

See below of a testimonial of how our faceoff development has already impacted athletes.

“If you are looking to develop into a faceoff specialist while improving your overall lacrosse fundamentals we highly recommend Coach Michael McDonnell. Coach McDonnell has provided comprehensive one-on-one and small group training to our son for two years. Initially, Coach McDonnell focused his training on fundamentals of the position and improving as an overall player at the faceoff “X” and midfielder position. Our son quickly progressed to where he became one of the dominant players in his age group by mastering the core faceoff fundamentals. This initial training with Coach McDonnell gave us confidence that he could be a long-term coaching resource for development through high school focusing on all aspects of the position including warmups, drills and strategy. His faceoff training covers core fundamentals, advanced moves and techniques, tie-up strategy as well as midfielder training.  Most importantly, Coach McDonnell also focuses his training on overall player development and advancing the player to be successful on and off the field..”

— Parent of Player

It is our deep seeded belief that all draw takers in the game of lacrosse must be dynamic field players.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND the player also be enrolled in The Free Play Academy and attend weekly Free Play Sessions. It is a potent combination for a player to have high-level field development and high-level faceoff development.
