Beyond Predictable.
Beyond Standard.
TRP Lacrosse Academy is the premier destination for advanced players who demand more than standard training. We combine elite Technique, Repetition, and Pace with our signature focus on Deception. We don’t just teach the game; we teach you how to break it.
Mastery Through Methodology We don’t just run drills; we build elite habits. Using the TRP Method—Technique, Repetition, and Pace—we sharpen stick skills, field vision, and transition play for athletes who have outgrown the basics.
The Art of Deception Predictability is the enemy of performance. We teach players how to leverage their unique physical profile—size, speed, or agility—to master the art of deception, making them impossible to mirror on the field.
Position-Fluid Performance The modern game demands more than "staying in your lane." We develop versatile, unpredictable athletes with an arsenal of unconventional skills that translate to immediate game-changing results.
Direct Mentorship. All Positions. The highest-intensity skill development in the game for boys and girls. Our signature small-group format ensures direct, pro-level feedback focused on the TRP pillars: Technique, Repetition, and Pace. Build an elite foundation in an environment designed for the advanced athlete.

About Us
The TRP Standard: Built by Pros. Proven by Champions.
Founded on the principles of Technique, Repetition, and Pace, TRP's methodology was forged during Curtis Smith's All-American career at Ohio State — where he became the program's #9 all-time scorer before being drafted first overall by the Colorado Mammoth. Today, TRP is led by a powerhouse core team: Curtis Smith, 2024 PhillyLacrosse Coach of the Year Desi Gonzalez, defensive specialist Christian Wright, and co-founder Avery Amaya.
Together, they deliver a high-intensity curriculum for boys and girls at every position — from elite finishing to lockdown defense. Our network of guest coaches and specialists, including offensive standout Khalil Lindsay, defensive coach Jovan Estrada, PLL faceoff specialist Mike Sisselberger, and the likes of lacrosse icon Lyle Thompson, means players at every level are learning from coaches who have played and competed at the highest levels of the game.
