Coaching Experience

He coached the German National team in the 2025 European Championships and brings extensive coaching experience to develop young players in the Bay Area.

WHY

Offseason Opportunity

There is a gap of offseason lacrosse opportunity for players (especially multisport athletes) looking to train, play, and compete locally without the full-time club commitment.

High-Level Training

In addition to high-level training, we are incorporating small-sided games and in-depth coaching to maximize player development.

WHERE

Location

Practices and Training in Marin Ghilotti Field (Redwood HS)

TESTIMONIALS

Academy was a really positive experience for our son! He found the coaching to be both positive and technically informative, which allowed him to really grow as a player. Training with players of different ages also created opportunities for growth and camaraderie that he particularly enjoyed. He felt welcomed and supported throughout by both teammates and coaches. Great program!

Academy Parent

The Academy was a great offseason opportunity to work on position specific skills for my game. The tons of live feedback helped my game grow tremendously. I was able to get a lot of quality reps and focus on staying consistent, which really built my confidence. The live-action situations gave me the chance to apply what I was learning in personal work right away on the field with other players, and that made a huge difference in my development.

Academy Player

Our experience this summer with the Academy was truly amazing. Coach Olters is incredible, and my son’s defensive skills and confidence on the field skyrocketed. So much gratitude for this stellar program! No notes!
