NLSD has been designed to provide a sports education and training environment that is focused on athletic core skills development. Our Strength and Conditioning programs concentrate on balance, core and functional strength and general stamina, while our Skills Programs focus on honing sport specific skills for Ice Hockey and Lacrosse such as stick handling, shooting, puck/ball control, stride, vision and foot speed. We use drills that are enhanced and supported by advanced computer, speed and velocity sensors and video technology to measure player performance at the various stages of the training process and the individual athlete’s age-specific development.
