Men's Skill and Performance Training.

For lacrosse players in the Greater Baltimore & Annapolis Area.

Who We Work With.

Lacrosse demands more than raw athleticism—it requires sharp game IQ and the ability to perform under pressure. Offensively, players need to recognize space, anticipate defensive slides, read goalie tendencies, and create opportunities both with and without the ball. From reacting to dodges to executing fast breaks, these skills separate good players from great ones. Through Skill & Performance Training, Coach TJ focuses on building complete offensive players—sharpening instincts, refining technique, and deepening overall understanding of the game.

If you’re serious about elevating your performance, book a free call with Coach TJ to map out your goals. Whether it’s finishing with confidence, earning more playing time, or preparing for the jump to college lacrosse, this training is best for athletes looking for flexible, high-impact sessions tailored to specific skills or one-on-one support. With passion, precision, and a proven approach, Coach TJ helps hungry players unlock their full potential.

About Our Men's Offerings

Designed for men's lacrosse players at any stage—whether just learning the fundamentals or pushing toward the next level—our offerings cover a wide range of skills for athletes looking for flexible, high-impact sessions tailored to specific skills or one-on-one support. These trainings emphasize the core areas that elevate a player’s game: clean stickwork, accurate passing and shooting, dodging with confidence, ground ball technique, and a deeper understanding of offensive and defensive concepts. With a focus on purposeful reps and personalized feedback, players gain both the confidence and the ability to improve quickly.

Our Academy Program are designed to develop players through structured skill work and position-specific drills. Training emphasizes mechanics, footwork, dodging, catching, throwing, and overall offensive and defensive development across every position: offense, defense, faceoff, and goalie.

Athletes will work with Coach TJ, professional players, and D1/D3 All-American coaches, drilling the checks, footwork, and IQ it takes to play the game at a high level. Strong fundamentals built early give your athlete the foundation to compete at the next level.

Lacrosse Academy is capped at 12 youth players.

Our Blue Chip Program for Men's players is an advanced development program designed for middle through high school age groups who are looking to elevate their physicality and offensive skill set. Athletes train 3x per week for a month, combining structured strength training in the weight room with high-intensity on-field dodging and shooting sessions.

Additionally, Blue Chip includes full access to our Dodging & Shooting and Strength & Conditioning sessions. This program is ideal for competitive players preparing for club and school seasons who want a clear edge.

Each program is capped at 20 players.

Our Men's Dodging & Shooting Academy is designed for high school players ready to refine their offensive skill set. Athletes learn how to dodge effectively through different areas of the field, change speeds, create separation, and finish plays with confidence 2x per week for one month.

Training emphasizes repetition, footwork, and situational awareness in a small-group setting, allowing for detailed coaching and rapid improvement.

This program is capped at 8 players.

This offering is for 2x sessions per month. Strength & Conditioning builds the physical tools that decide games: real strength, faster first steps, sharper change of direction, and a body that holds up across a full season. Athletes train to get stronger, more explosive, and harder to knock off the ball.

Group Training puts you in a competitive, high-energy room with motivated athletes. Structured development plus the accountability and competition that push you on the days you'd rather coast.

Individual Training is one-on-one coaching built around your goals, weak points, and the demands of your sport. Every session tailored, so progress comes faster.

Founder and Owner

I started playing lacrosse as a freshman in high school—easily one of the worst players on the JV team. But with a background in other sports and natural athleticism, I quickly fell in love with the game. I set a goal to start on varsity and earn a college scholarship, and through relentless work—individual sessions, agility training, and time with a personal trainer—I made it happen. I became a First Team All-County player my senior year and went on to be a 4x All-Conference D3 Attack/Midfielder, finishing with over 200 career points.

Now, with over 10 years of coaching and 10 years of playing experience, I’ve spent two decades in the game. I'm also a NASM-certified personal trainer specializing in athletic performance. I do this because I’m passionate about coaching, developing, and mentoring young athletes—helping them unlock their full potential both on and off the field.
