Goalie camps and position-specific training
LXTC Lacrosse receives many inquiries about goalie-specific camps and training. In 2016, Trevor Tierney and Ryan LaPlante created the Goalie Evolution Academy to provide high-end training for aspiring goalies.
Goalie Evolution Academy clinics always fill up quickly because available spaces are strictly limited to ensure a great experience for goalies. Click here to see if the next Goalie Evolution Academy has registration availability: LXTC Goalie Evolution Academy Registration
If you do not see any live Goalie Evolution Academy registrations there, then no clinics are scheduled for the near future.
We also encourage players looking for specific training at goalie or any other position (attack, midfield, defense) to register for one of our DU Lacrosse summer camps.
Our summer camps will include position-specific training during the morning sessions each day. Camp coaches commonly include current DU Pioneers goalies, who work directly with campers. Players looking for goalie-specific training will benefit greatly from the instruction at our summer camps.
Summer Camp Dining & Food Allergy Info
We will provide boxed lunches and dinners for all campers at our DU Training Camps this summer.
The dining hall for our summer camps at the University of Denver provides a wide variety of food options for campers. The dining hall is well-versed in dealing with food allergy issues.
You will have the ability to indicate any food allergy issues for a camper on the Medical Form that you will complete. The camp confirmation email will contain a link to the Medical form.

DU Summer Camp Medical Questions
Our DU Summer Camps have a certified medical trainer on hand at all times.
Our trainers are well-equipped to provide for players with medical issues, including supervision of medications. We can store medications for you as well.
Parents will have the opportunity to speak with a trainer at the time of camp check-in to discuss any medical concerns involving a camper.
How are players supervised at our summer camps?
During our summer camps, players are closely supervised at every moment of the day, which is itself tightly scheduled. They are never permitted free rein to "run around campus."
With our years of experience running these camps, we will insure that campers are safe, secure, and have a great time playing lacrosse with us!
After you register and pay for summer camp, you will receive a confirmation email. The confirmation email will include a packing list for the items that campers should bring each day.
Are parents permitted to watch camp sessions?
Yes, parents are allowed to observe camp sessions from Barton Stadium. Commonly, parents will attend the evening session to watch camp scrimmages.
Is transportation available from the airport to camp ?
LXTC Lacrosse does not provide transportation between the airport and camp at DU.
Parents are responsible for securing transportation to and from camp on a door-to-door basis at the DU or CU residence halls where check-in and check-out occurs.
SuperShuttle and Denver Platinum Limo are two options commonly used by parents to secure transportation from DIA to DU.
How do I transport a longpole to camp ?
Commonly, players have used a ski bag or fishing rod case to transport longpoles for air travel.
You can also take the head off the pole, pack that in your luggage or carry it on, and then use a cardboard or plastic tube of your own making to transport the shaft.
This can be a good idea in the event that the airline misplaces the shaft, at least the player will still have his familiar head and then we can figure out a replacement shaft for him when he arrives at camp.
