I don't believe in "typical sessions". Every training session is specifically engineered to the player's unique needs. Some players may need to start/re-visit the "core" fundamentals and "re-learn" them while other players have an exceptional grasp of most every skill-set, mechanics and Lax IQ - but need to improve at one or more other aspects of his/her game. NO 2 TRAINING SESSIONS SHOULD BE THE SAME!!

Client Reviews

Just a few words on Chris' coaching...it has been great! He definitely knows his Lacrosse but more importantly he has always represented the spirit of the game with great sportsmanship, the same which he expects from his teams. My true gauge on how good a coach, comes from my son's attitude toward a sport...and I can say my son loves the sport of Lacrosse and much of that comes from Chris. Thanks Chris, looking forward to many more years of fun at this sport. -Mike L. Northville, MI
My son has been part of the Shamrocks Lacrosse Club for the past year with Coach Chris Merucci. Coach Merucci not only teaches them the fundamentals of Lacrosse but is a positive role model for these young athletes. My son has not only grown as a Lacrosse Player but has developed personal life skills that I believe came from being part of the Shamrocks program, under Coach Chris. Our family has been honored to be part of the Shamrock Lacrosse Family. -Shelli B.
We have had the pleasure of working with Coach Chris for the past year through the Shamrocks Lacrosse program. Our son entered the program with basic lacrosse skills and low self-confidence about his ability as a player. Within the first month of working with Chris, we saw a transformation in our son. He started to believe in himself as a lacrosse player. His skills increased and got sharper. He knew he not only could correctly display the skills he learned, but he also had a team of coaches who believed he could do it. It is wonderfully refreshing to see a coach that not only loves the game, but loves the kids he coaches”. -Joe & Heidi P. Howell, MI
Our son Alex loved his Shamrocks travel team! Working with Coach Chris Merucci was a great experience for him. Coach Chris helped every boy on the team improve their skills and increase their knowledge of the game, while keeping practices and games a fun experience. We would recommend Coach Chris to anyone looking for a positive lacrosse experience for their son or daughter -Sara R. Brighton, MI
Coach Merucci has done an excellent job coaching youth Lacrosse and we have enjoyed having our son be a part of his program. Chris treats every player, regardless of their skill level, equally and fairly. This is what garners the respect of not only the players but the parents as well. Chris focuses on the fundamentals of the game is played on the field and demands each player to adhere to a strict code of conduct off the field. This is why numerous coaches and parents of opposing teams consistently commended during last year’s season. This is why we jumped at the chance to sign our daughter up for Triumph Lacrosse.
