In August, Venom hosts an evaluation process that provided the basis for our teams for the year.  Fall consists of once a week practices on Sunday and 1-2 Tournaments that are team dependent.  During the fall we recommended that Venom players not involved in a fall sport participate in their local rec or fall ball league, which most do.

In the winter we plug our Venom players into box lacrosse where they received box lacrosse training and game play.  The number of touches and skills learned during box lacrosse provides a competitive advantage when we get back outside in the spring and summer.

In the spring we break for HS and Middle School seasons so players will not have training as to not interfere or pose risk of injury while they are playing with their HS/MS teams. During the Spring we recommend that Venom youth players participate within their  local rec or Middle School  teams.  We can help with Middle School Programming suggestions for 7th and 8th graders. 

Our summer schedule will consist of 3 tournaments in June stretching into July at the older age groups.  Summer practices will be in the evening most likely on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday nights.
