Lacrosse Training
  • GATE provides all players more training opportunities as part of their club membership than any program in the southeast.  Our focus of each practice is to maximize the repetitions each player receives.  We provide the highest level of training in the southeast.
  • “Free Play” Training.  We are the only club in the southeast that offers weekly “free play” training sessions.  This training method is the fastest way for lacrosse players to learn the necessary skills to play at the elite level.  This model of training is as much fun as games for players!
  • Fall Training Overview – All MS players will have each week 2 field practices and one training session at The HUB, GATE’s indoor training facility.  At least one training session will be “free play” training.
  • Fall Training Schedule – Practices will start the week of September 14 and continue through the winter tournament.

GATE has the largest indoor lacrosse training facility in the Georgia.  Our large open space area is the perfect locations for all teams to train year round regardless of weather.  GATE is the only lacrosse club team in south to have a full time Strength and Conditioning Coordinator on staff.  Diron Bates was hired this summer to work with all of our club team members on the strength and condition side of training.
