Ankor Lacrosse Youth Camp at Rutgers Prep Powered by the Ankor Lacrosse System

Camp Overview:

The Ankor Lacrosse Youth Camp is a three-day developmental camp designed to give young players an advanced introduction to the game of lacrosse in an age-appropriate, fun, and engaging environment.

This camp is not just for advanced players. It is for athletes who want to learn the game the right way, understand where they currently are, and begin building a strong foundation for future growth.

Using the Ankor Lacrosse System, athletes will be guided through structured skill work, games, and evaluations that help set them on the right long-term developmental path.

Development with Purpose

While the environment is energetic and fun, everything we do is intentional.

Athletes will:

  • Be exposed to the Ankor evaluation model in a simplified, youth-appropriate way
  • Learn core lacrosse skills through games-based and constraint-led drills
  • Begin understanding what “good lacrosse habits” look like
  • Gain confidence through guided reps and positive, specific feedback

Our goal is not to rank or pressure young players, but to teach, inspire, and ignite a love for lacrosse.

What’s Included

  • Youth-Focused Ankor Evaluation
    Athletes will be assessed during drills and games to help coaches understand current skill levels and learning needs.
  • Group Film Study (Age-Appropriate)
    Short, guided film sessions help players recognize spacing, decision-making, and effort in a simple, visual way.
  • Games-Based Skill Development
    Fun, competitive drills designed to teach fundamentals while keeping players fully engaged.
  • Wall Ball & Stickwork Sessions
    Athletes learn simple, repeatable routines they can take home and continue on their own.
  • Personalized Feedback from Coaches
    Coaches provide clear, encouraging instruction tailored to young athletes who are still learning the game.
  • Take-Home Drills & Learning Tools
    Players leave with drills and ideas aligned to the Ankor Lacrosse System to support continued development.
  • Lunch Provided Daily

Coaching Philosophy

Our staff understands young players. We prioritize:

  • Positive reinforcement
  • Clear and simple teaching cues
  • High engagement and movement
  • Confidence-building through success

This camp is designed to make players excited to come back each day and eager to keep playing lacrosse long after camp ends.
