PEAC and EVOLVE ELITE LACROSSE
Accountability in the classroom, in their social circles and in life is the core value expected by the PEAC Evolve lacrosse players. Every student-athlete on the team has more opportunities than any athlete in Canada to advance an education with the NCAA athletic scholarship.
The PEAC Evolve Lacrosse Program will consist of grades 7 – 12. The purpose for our program is to provide our athletes with an opportunity to further develop both technically and tactically in lacrosse. Players will practice daily with like minded athletes to further develop their skills. Furthermore Evolve Elite has several established travel teams that include U12, U14, U15 and Senior Varsity. These teams have been created to provide elite player development and much needed USA College exposure. This will not only allow players to be scouted, recruited and earn scholarships to Collegiate institutions but give them the experience and life skills to succeed. Our teams will compete against top competition and visit some of the world’s finest Preparatory, Division 1 and Division 3 school campuses in order to showcase their talent.
Students who are selected for an elite travel team are chosen only because we believe they have the necessary academic requirements, and athletic ability to leverage their ability in lacrosse to attain a scholarship. Coach Kelusky has a proven track record and high success rate as a coach in Alberta, having students get athletic and academic scholarships to U.S. Colleges and Universities. Now, players enrolling in the PEAC lacrosse program will have an opportunity to develop to the next level in order to realize their dreams.
The program is designed to deliver on the technical and tactical development of lacrosse players. The program will exist for an entire year from registration date. Although players will be competing in strategic designated tournaments, the program in its entirety is designed for athletic improvement both on and off the playing field. This includes but is not limited to strength and conditioning training programs as well as classroom education on the recruiting process. Each player will build an Individualized Marketing Plan (IMP) and will monitor and assess their Individualized Development Plans (IDP). Furthermore, through innovative lacrosse drills and encouraging instruction, players will learn the skills and athletic attributes needed to further their lacrosse development. In the process, players will gain a strong skill base that will allow them to develop the technical ability that is required to play at the highest level. Learning will take place in an undemanding yet competitive environment that promotes learning and encourages players to challenge their own personal limitations.
