Athlete Development
Fun and Player-Centered
Small-Sided and Free Play
Multi-Sport Participation
Physical Literacy
Trained Coaches
Inclusive and Appropriate
"Athlete development is a framework using six core values which bring out the full athletic potential in every player. When these values are embraced, players learn the sport better, love it more, and play it longer. Following the core values of athlete development keeps more players engaged in the sport longer and allows the best player to emerge as they reach physical maturity." (USA Lacrosse Athlete Development, 2021)
