“Without a doubt our pre-season conditioning with Actualize Sports & Fitness has been instrumental in the growth of our high school lacrosse program. It is apparent on day 1 of Spring practice who participated in this program. Being conditioned physically and mentally at the start of our season jumps us right into the important strategy components of our lacrosse season. Players start ready and maintain a high level of fitness throughout the season. Take advantage of this opportunity!”
