2026 Overnight Camp
June 8-11, 2026 at Georgetown Prep:
How is Our Training Different?
We specialize in ECO-LAX training. ECO-LAX stands for Ecological-referencing the ecological dynamics model of skill acquisition. Unlike traditional drills, this approach emphasizes decision-making, adaptability, and learning through the natural chaos of gameplay.
The ECO-LAX Model Harnesses Gameplay Chaos to Achieve:
+ Improved Real-time Decision Making:
Players react to real scenarios, not pre-scripted plays
+ Enhanced Performance Transfer from Practice to Games:
Emphasis on performing under pressure, contact, and constraint.
+ Developing Players Who Solve Problems, not Repeat Patterns:
Sessions challenge both IQ and physical execution.
+ Evidence-Based Training:
Trusted by top college and pro programs - now adapted for youth athletes.
We Re-Wire Your Brain at a Critical Developmental Stage to Prepare You for The Speed of High School.
Each session is structured around game-representative challenges. Focus areas include:
- Transition Speed & Spatial Awareness: Quick reads, movement off-ball, and recovery play
- Offensive & Defensive Decision-Making: Slide recognition, rotation reads, and attack-defense balance
- Game-Speed Stick Skills: Passing, catching, dodging, and shooting under live pressure
- Live, Competitive Problem-Solving: Constraint-based drills and small-sided games to sharpen instincts
REPS WITHOUT REPEAT
Ascension 202 invites players from all DC-Area lacrosse clubs to train with us. Where game speed, skill, and IQ collide.
