We are an athletics academy that is currently focusing on off-season opportunities for growth within the game of boys' lacrosse. We are currently offering winter and summer clinics, private lessons, as well as small group lessons; for youth and high school players. In addition, we are offering lacrosse curriculum design assistance, off-season coaching, and team development opportunities for individual teams and larger scale clubs and organizations. At Spiral Up, we strive to make each and every player and each and every group that we work with, better. The idea is we, both us and our clients, grow within this great game together.
Learn + Commit + Do = The Upward Spiral
This year, programming will run out of Farmington Sports Arena (FSA) in Farmington CT, and Wide World of Indoor Sports in Montville CT.
**Complete details, descriptions, and calendars for our Winter Series is posted and can be found by clicking on the REGISTRATION tab at the top of this home page**
Curriculum Design - We work with youth, high school, or club organizations to customize, design, and help implement a lacrosse curriculum that will promote education, stability, and growth that will be evident as the organization grows from year to year.
Summer Clinics - We provide and execute summer camps and clinics aimed at the betterment and development of youth and high school lacrosse players. Our camps are currently offered through local departments of recreation and at local facilities. The content and practice plans of our camps and clinics will be determined and communicated in advance. This way, we are all on the same page.
Team Development - SUAA offers off-season or guest coaching for teams. We keep the message fresh by offering a new voice, maintain and build the team(s) culture, and even offer a more lengthy approach by coaching a team for a period of time in the off-season when their regular season coach can not.
**Current clients include Valley Lacrosse, Northwest Catholic High School Summer Clinics, the Town of Suffield CT, Farmington Sports Arena in Farmington CT, the Town of Vernon CT, Wide World of Indoor Sports in Montville and St. Bernard High School**
Through a site called CoachUp.com, and using their format, we at Spiral Up offer private and small group lessons for our lacrosse players. Lessons, in either individual or small group settings, we will work on everything from individual skills, overall athleticism, and position specific areas. We will also welcome and encourage goalies to come to us for lessons. In addition, and finally, we are willing to communicate and collaborate with the student(s) current coach to ensure we are reinforcing the areas necessary for the total development of the player relevant to their team. We do this so that he can carry what he is learning right over to his team and that the message is consistent.
