The Rocket Lacrosse Clinic is designed to provide the region's premier development experience for youth lacrosse players.
Whether our participants have never picked up a stick before or are playing for high level club teams, we customize our curriculum to take any level and launch it higher.
Our award-winning staff is comprised of high school varsity coaches, Needham Lacrosse Alumni, and current Needham High School student athletes.
Our culture is positive, our climate is engaging, and our model is competitive and fun.
Expect Nothing. Earn Everything.
