New England Lacrosse Academy Joins Forces with Top Tier Lacrosse to Deliver Premier Offseason Training Experience
Springfield, MA – March 17, 2026 – New England Lacrosse Academy (NELA) and Top Tier Lacrosse are proud to announce a new partnership aimed at elevating offseason training opportunities for players across the region. This collaboration will deliver high-level, clinic-based training programs centered on skill development, high-repetition training, and competitive small-area gameplay.
By combining NELA’s proven training methodology with Top Tier Lacrosse’s expansive platform and coaching network, the partnership is designed to create an environment where players can maximize touches, build confidence, and translate skills directly into game situations.
“Our goal has always been to provide players with meaningful reps and intentional development,” said leadership from New England Lacrosse Academy. “Partnering with Top Tier allows us to expand that impact and reach more players who are serious about improving their game.”
The offseason training model will emphasize:
- High-rep skill work to accelerate individual development
- Small-area games to improve decision-making, spacing, and lacrosse IQ
- Competitive, fast-paced environments that mirror real game situations
- Consistent coaching from experienced high school, college, and professional-level instructors
Top Tier Lacrosse, known for its player-first approach and commitment to development over results, sees this partnership as a natural alignment.
“This is exactly the type of training environment players need,” said Top Tier Lacrosse leadership. “Reps, pace, and competition are what drive real improvement. NELA has done an outstanding job building that foundation, and we’re excited to grow it together.”
The joint training offerings will be available to players across a wide range of age groups and skill levels, providing accessible, high-quality development opportunities throughout the offseason.
More details on program dates, locations, and registration will be released in the coming weeks.
