MORE OF WHAT'S INCLUDED:
We offer more resources than any other team in the area
1) High-Quality Coaching:
Miami Sol is lead by Jenna-Martino DiFede, former Division I lacrosse stand-out at St. Joseph's University. Martino-DiFede has not only played at the highest level of college lacrosse, but has coached it as well. Read more about Jenna & all our coaches HERE. She will help out with all teams.
>> Each one of Miami Sol's coaches have been hand-selected based on their knowledge and experience around the game in order to lead the best teams possible. They each come with their own unique background and experiences adding value in a variety of ways. We love our coaches!
2) Speed/Agility/Conditioning/Performance training
We'll work on this each week, but we'll also have special guests such as John DiFede, a trainer who has worked with all types of people and teams; from the UM Football team, to the Miami Heat, to high school and college athletes, to elders, to those with disabilities, to those looking for training of any kind. Specialties include performance training, injury recovery/physical therapy, and more. You can even reach out to him on your own at 305-323-0816 or on Instagram @physicaldifede.
3) Mental Performance & Health Coaching
With Game Changers & The Hidden Opponent. This is something we are SUPER excited to offer this year. We can guarantee you'll get more out of this training than you even knew you needed/wanted. Dates and more info TBA.
4) College Recruiting Assistance
We'll help high school players with the college recruiting process if they are interested in this. How to narrow your search, contacting coaches, compliance rules, highlight film help, and more.
5) College & Professional Guest Coaches
We believe in adding value to each practice in any way we can. Bringing in expert guest coaches is just one way we do this. People like Bryce Wasserman, current Premier Lacrosse League player, and current and former college coaches/players. Their perspective and experiences are something we can't wait for!
6) At-home stickwork ideas & more
Players will receive guidance and ideas on how to work on their game at home, with or without backyard equipment!
7) Team Bonding Initiatives, Prizes, Giveaways, Awards
We believe creating a positive, inclusive, hard-working, fun team atmosphere and maintaining this culture is of the utmost importance. We will be incorporating these initiatives into practices & games, as well as look into outside-of-practice activities each team can do. More to come!
8) Financing options available
We really want kids to be able to play, and understand many are going through tough times right now. If cost is truly the only thing holding you back, please reach out and we can discuss.
The "305 Lacrosse Fund" was created to help subsidize costs of the game and reduce the barrier to entry for players that truly need assistance for season play, clinics, equipment and more. Thank you to all those who have donated thus far, and whom will donate in the future. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Anyone can donate now via Venmo to @lacrosse305 or upon team registration!
Also, please note that upon registration you will have the option to pay in installments if you like. You can also choose "pay off-line" to save on the transaction fees, but must pay in full. Sometimes every little bit helps!
Follow along on Instagram if you haven't yet! We'll post all throughout the season!! @miamisollacrosse
