It's BIGGER
than the Game
​
Building Better Players
and Even Better People
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​RAE PLAY is our next-level program that bridges the gap between Discovery programs like After School
Enrichment and higher-level play, without families having to leave Miami-Dade.
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Full equipment with hard ball
-
Weekly Training: Skills + Drills plus SIXES Format Game Play
-
Extra 90 MINUTES of lacrosse each week to complement our school enrichment programs
-
Develop Stick Sills, Lax IQ, Teamwork and Leadership
-
Positive, character-enriching environment
​​
True to our core values Respect * Attitude * Effort this program is designed for multi-sport athletes, supportive families, and a Miami-Dade-based lax community who believe in the long game: developing great teammates, leaders, and humans on and off the field.
​
RAE PLAY addresses a growing need in our community: a next-step lacrosse experience for young athletes who have a solid foundation and basic skill set that are ready for more. After two years of helping to build the game across Miami and working with boys and girls through our Discovery/Beginner level programs, it’s time to offer something more in a player’s lacrosse evolution - without the time, cost, or burnout of traditional travel teams and club programs.
