Kick off your recruiting journey at the Launch Point. The Launch Point provides current freshmen players (2028 graduation year) who aim to play lacrosse at the collegiate level with the tools necessary to take the next steps in achieving their dreams.

At this stage in the recruiting process, players need to continue to improve while gaining a better understanding of how the process itself works. This specially designed curriculum includes field training focused on individual player technical skills and IQ development. Classroom sessions dive deeper into game comprehension through film review and whiteboard X’s + O’s. Recruiting education seminars will be tailored to this specific stage as players begin their journey.


Led by 7x NCAA DI Champion Dave Metzbower, renowned for his teaching abilities, and Trilogy Co-Founder & CEO Ryan Boyle, who played under Metzbower at Princeton, the 3-day overnight camp creates an environment where developing high school student-athletes can set a foundation for success as they seek to achieve their collegiate dreams.
