Annapolis Hawks takes an age-progressive approach to player development, beginning with fundamentals, enjoyment of the game and learning how to be part of a team before increasing expectations for commitment, pace and competitive preparation as players get older. Across all age groups, the program emphasizes responsibility, accountability, work ethic and being a good teammate. The high school pathway is designed to prepare players for college-level lacrosse while maintaining the club's broader focus on developing the person as well as the player.
