Sentry Lacrosse

At Sentry Lacrosse we structure our program differently than any other team in Texas.

In 2016 -2017 we plan to reinforce the concepts and system that we focused on last year and progress to the next level both individually (player skill development) ​and as a team (offensive & defensive team philosophies and strategy). Sentry will offer position specific skills clinics and additional practices throughout the year to better prepare our players for both their school Spring season and Fall and Summer tournaments.

More advanced offensive and defensive concepts: We push our players to learn more advanced concepts and schemes than they have previously been exposed to. They must focus at practice, work on stick work outside of practice, and study plays in order to keep up.

Streamlined offensive and defensive schemes, concepts and drills throughout every team: Players will advance within the system as they move through the Sentry program. Every year players will learn more advanced plays and concepts, building on the previous season.

By Grade:

• Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade: "Sentry Building Blocks" *We believe that we have the best K-2nd grade program in Texas! No one comes close! This program can be chosen to be either a full year, or half year commitment. We will focus on basic concepts, stick skills,technique and having fun! ​The first hour of practice will be fundamental and skill based work, with the last 30 minutes being in game situational work, and scrimmage based. To ensure maximum player development, players will be coached by the best coaches Sentry has to offer.
• 3rd & 4th Grade: (Year Round Program) Players will focus on stick skills as we introduce offensive and defensive concepts and unsettled situations. The first 30 minutes of practice will be fundamental and skill based work with the last 30 minutes being in game situational work, and scrimmage based. Goalies, Face-off, Offense and Defense will brake up at different parts of practice to work specifically on their position.
• 5th & 6th grade: (Year Round Program) Players will learn complex 1-3-2 offensive sets with multiple looks generated off the dodge and off ball movement (cuts). Defense will focus on crease slide packages and positioning on and off the ball. Unsettled situations will be continuously drilled since this is the backbone of any good offense and defense. Goalies, Face-off, Offense and Defense will break up at different parts of practice to work specifically on their position.
• 7th- 8th grade: (Year Round Program) Players  will be expected to learn multiple offensive sets generating looks from different areas on the field and read teammates to determine appropriate off ball movement and cuts. Players will be expected to master 4v3, 5v4, and 6v5 situations as well as multiple riding sets and clearing patterns. Defense will be expected to learn multiple schemes, slide packages and master unsettled situations. Goalies, Face-off, Offense and Defense will break up at different parts of practice to work specifically on their position.
• High school players: (Year Round Program) Players will be taught to utilize their skills within a team system in order to best showcase their individual talent. At the High School level our players are focused on recruiting and we help them work with the team to effectively present their skills to college coaches and scouts. Practices will be tailored to helping our players improve their individual skills in order to help the team as a whole. Goalies, Face-off, Offense and Defense will break up at different parts of practice to work specifically on their position.

At Sentry lacrosse we have created families of boys at each age level that believe in Sentry's core values (Family, Friendship, Loyalty, Honesty and Hard work). In just 5 years we have created the strongest group of players in Texas and our coaching staff is more determined then ever to separate ourselves from our competitors. All of our head coaches are full time Sentry coaches and have played at and coached at the highest level. Depending on a player's age, each team will have 35- 50 practices throughout the year. Below you will find our 2016 - 2017 team rules.
