Train anywhere. Build real box skills. Get real results.
Built In The Box is a year-round box lacrosse training program designed to give athletes a simple, structured way to develop their game outside of team practices.
Athletes receive three workouts per week, combining box-focused skill development with athletic training. Two weekly field sessions incorporate shooting, finishing, dodging, footwork, speed, agility, and quickness, while a dedicated wall-ball workout develops the stick skills and repetitions needed to become a more complete player.
The training goes beyond simply taking shots. Athletes work through accuracy challenges, shooting and scoring concepts, deception, finishing techniques, footwork, and game-specific skills, with instruction explaining both how to perform the drills and why they work in box lacrosse.
Built In The Box was created to make high-quality training accessible. You don't need a box lacrosse facility or a complicated equipment setup. Many workouts can be completed in a backyard or open field with a stick, a handful of balls, a goal or shooting target, a wall, and roughly 30 yards of space. A standard field lacrosse goal can be used when a box goal isn't available.
The program runs year-round, with training continually updated so athletes can keep developing rather than completing a short program and stopping.
3 workouts every week. Box skills. Athletic development. Shooting IQ. Real training you can do at home.
Real Box. Real Skills. Real Results.
