The Vision
Expanding to Youth Lacrosse

At Somerset Poles Academy, our primary goal is to expand our specialized defensive training to the youth lacrosse level, ensuring younger players develop the fundamental mechanics, footwork, and lacrosse IQ necessary to excel. Under the guidance of instructors Christian Dulyn and Tyler Lombardi, we want to introduce youth athletes to proper defensive concepts—such as safe stick checks, communication, and body positioning—early in their development.

Session Structure
What a standard 60-minute block looks like
01. Dynamic Warmup & Agility
We start with agility ladders, footwork patterns, and approach mechanics to get the lower body firing correctly.
02. Stickwork & Handling
High-rep passing, safe ground balls, and clearing outlets under pressure to ensure stick reliability.
03. Positional Concepts
Breaking down hold techniques, trail checks, V-holds, and proper body positioning tailored for defenders.

The Physical Advantage
Elite defense isn't just about footwork—it's about leverage. Adding functional mass and strength allows long poles to anchor against bigger dodgers, dictate the physical matchup, and deliver heavier, more disruptive checks.

Required Waivers
Mandatory for all participants

Safety and liability are our top priorities. Every player must have a signed liability and photo release waiver to step onto the field. No exceptions.

Option 1: Print at Home

Speed up the check-in process. Click the buttons below to open the required Google Doc waivers. Print them, have a parent sign them, and bring both to your first session.

Option 2: Sign in Person

We will have physical copies of both waivers printed out and ready at the field. However, a parent or legal guardian must be present at drop-off to sign the paperwork before you can play.

Camp FAQ
Common questions from parents
What age group is this for?
▾
Our program serves two tracks: Grades 1–5 focus on core fundamental skills (stick handling, catching, throwing, footwork), while Grades 6–8 advance into specialized defensive training (slide packages, V-holds, defensive IQ, and live 1-on-1 reps). Every athlete is coached at the right level.
Where do training sessions take place?
▾
Sessions are hosted at local Somerset County turf and grass fields. Specific locations are coordinated upon booking based on field availability and player convenience.
What equipment does my player need?
▾
Because this is a defensive-focused academy, players should bring their own D-Pole or LSM stick, full standard pads, helmet, mouthpiece, cleats, and plenty of water.
How do I pay for a session?
▾
We accept Venmo, Zelle, or cash at the start of the session. There are no upfront registration fees or hidden costs. You only pay for the sessions you book.
Do players need a signed waiver?
▾
Yes. For liability and safety reasons, all players must have a parent or guardian sign our release waivers before they can step on the field. Check the Waiver tab for the forms.
