[Elkridge, MD] – February 14, 2025 – FaceOff Academy, the nation’s leading lacrosse training program focused on face-off specialists, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with the 2025 College Lacrosse Live Series. As part of this exciting collaboration, FaceOff Academy will host an exclusive clinic on game weekend, providing an invaluable opportunity for lacrosse players of all levels to sharpen their skills and gain insights from top-level professionals. The FaceOff Academy’s main objective since 2012 has been to provide all areas of the United States with the highest level of FO coaching and knowledge.

Towson vs Virginia – March 8 (Houston, TX)
Denver vs Duke – March 22 (Dallas, TX)

With this new partnership, FaceOff Academy will elevate the event by offering a hands-on clinic designed to improve players’ face-off technique, strategy, and overall lacrosse IQ. The FOA system has been at the heart of the FaceOff position since 2011. They have developed over 1000 NCAA Faceoff men using a layered approach to coaching that produces epic results. At every FOA event, athletes will be exposed to:

Controlling the mental and emotional part of the game.
Increase Hand Speed and reaction ability to the whistle.
Optimize Stance and technique using years of collegiate/pro/international experience.
Expose players to countless live rep situations against varying opponents.
Allow players the option to take meaningful faceoffs in pressure situations once they are prepared for the challenge.
