BROOKLYN, NY :: Always filled with fun + fabulousness, the XTEAM 2012 SUMMER SCHEDULE surely does not disappoint. Tournaments included among the catalog of options stretch from Virginia to Massachusetts and our neXt team of li'l ones gets the amazing experience of traveling west to beautiful Seattle!
With lacrosse picking up growth speed from sea to shining sea, the XTEAM program boasts summer programming that promised to deliver a full experience for each of our members where she is learning, improving, preparing and filling up with awesomeness from the inside-out. Here is a quick who/what/when/where/why/how for each GRAD YEAR:
2013
This is the summer where your body is ready to be pushed and your brain is able to put all the pieces of the game together. You play this summer to showcase one last time as you pursue lacrosse in college. If you are committed already, you play to fine-tune and reunite with with your XTEAM girls + coaches in a highly intense atmosphere where company + competition will be fierce.
WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT:
You get the "XPERIENCE", a Thurs-Monday event that launches you out of your recruiting process and into life. It's to work on yourself, to hyper-focus on your game and to continue to deepen your network of XTEAM relationships with teammates + coaches that will serve you far beyond your time in the uniform.
The biggest perk is the XTEAM ALUMNAE game, held on Sunday night before you return home and will feature alumnae dating back to the original classes. Coaches + alumnae combine as competition to your 2013 squad. Afterward, we hear where our alumnae are now and what paths they have chosen after lax, after college.
TOURNAMENTS:
The XPERIENCE makes up the "summer package", but as a member, you get the option to attend LAX INCEPTION (MD) in June + CAPITAL CUP (VA) in July (addt'l fees).
2014
ANd ... so it begins. This is our featured membership as rising juniors must use this summer to learn the skills - on the field + off it - that will help them best navigate through the recruiting process. AH - THE RECRUITING PROCESS - the thing everyone is stressed about!! The 2014 "summer package" is combination of exposure, recruiting training, reflection and independence mix to prepare you for showcasing next fall.
As the recruiting process gets more aggressive allowing less time for girls to prepare their game + showcase their ability, XTEAM designs this summer so that all of our 2014s know how to aptly navigate their way through developing a list of schools relevant to their academic profile and lacrosse potential.
WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT:
The biggest value to this membership is BIGGIE 10, which is a 10 day event spanning 2 recruiting tournaments. Girls get the full spectrum of the XTEAM programming and get to experience a close simulation of the college experience.
TOURNAMENTS:
Before attending BIGGIE 10, there are 2 major recruiting tournaments - LAX INCEPTION (MD) + IWLCA CHAMPIONS CUP (PA), which are back-to-back weekends in June. BIGGIE 10 concludes the summer on a massive note, which is from Thursday, July 12 - Sunday, July 22. This 10 day event includes THE RISE (MA) + IWLCA CAPITAL CUP (VA).
2015 - 17
This summer is all about TONS of playing opportunities within the XTEAM system. You will learn the foundation of our curriculum and build on the programs key concepts. We will introduce the recruiting process and the language you will begin to hear over the next 2 years. We'll work on your cover letters, resumes and how to start creating your list. With that we will also teach you how to do a college visit - standard admissions tour, self-guided tour + a college coach tour.
WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT:
With this membership you will come out of the summer with TONS of game experience, an introduction to the recruiting process, and the tools to start creating your college list and college visits.
TOURNAMENTS:
