SCHEDULE :: Rely on the XTEAM schedule to get you where you need to be, when you need to be there. We have created a specific summer schedule to give you the knowledge + experience needed to rock it out this fall.

LAX INCEPTION :: JUNE 9 - 10 :: BEL AIR, MD

ACADEMICS :: Right now it is about creating a college list BASED on your academics. Lacrosse will NOT get you into a college, you must be academically eligible first, to be able to get your foot in the lacrosse door. Start generating your list of schools, based on this key ingredient.
RECRUITING :: XTEAM uses RTRAK (www.recruitingtrak.com) as an accessory to our program. This managment software program is designed to give you the information 24/7. It gives you the templates to create your college list, college coach update, snapshot update and your pre-event, post-event emails. While this is a seperate membership and is not mandatory, we STRONGLY encourage you to join this program, as everything we teach is based off of this content.
COLLEGE VISITS :: During the BIGGIE 10 trip we will be doing SEVERAL college visits. We will teach you how to do the different kinds of school visits - from a standard admissions tour, to a self guided tour, to touring the school with a college coach. In addition to college visits, attending college camps are a great way to visit a school and experience the campus. Camps give you an all access pass to what it would be like to attend that school - room in the dorms, eat in the dining hall, use the athletic facilities, play for the coach, work with some of the current players. Choose the camps you attend, based on the schools in your top 5 and take advantage of this opportunity.
