PROGRAM REGISTRATION
Silver City Lacrosse Training
Proudly operated under LET (Lacrosse Education and Training), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Silver City Lacrosse Training is focused on helping players build the skills, confidence, Lacrosse IQ and game awareness they need to compete and continue developing.
Our mission is to prepare players for their NCJLA, club and high school seasons through player-first training built around technical development, fundamentals, decision-making, game awareness and overall player growth.
Lacrosse is for everyone
No player will be excluded based on club, high school or spring team affiliation. We believe every player deserves the opportunity to learn, improve, compete and enjoy the game regardless of which team they play for.
Our Vision
Our goal is simple: to raise the overall Lacrosse IQ and skill level of every player who participates in our training programs.
We are 100% focused on creating an environment where players of all ages and varying experience build confidence and, most importantly, play the game they love.
