No experience needed. No pressure. Just a fun, welcoming way to get into the game — for families who are brand new to lacrosse, and the ones who've been asking when I'd start something up again.
Performance, here, doesn't mean putting on a show — it means owning your effort. That's the whole idea.
We believe sports are a training ground for life. We promote peak athletic performance and personal leadership in everything we do. We provide performance training and camps & clinics focused on character development, self-awareness, and a growth mindset.
A word about the name. "Performance" can sound like putting on a show — and that's not what we mean. Here, performance means owning your effort: showing up, doing your part, getting a little better every time. That applies on the field. It applies to being a good teammate, a good son or daughter, a good friend. We're not asking kids to perform for anyone. We're teaching them to own what they bring.
Some of you already know me — I spent years coaching at Ralston Valley High School. Now that I've settled in Arvada, I want to bring that same coaching to families right here in the neighborhood. Come on out. No risk, just a fun way to see if the game is for you.
"I highly recommend Coach Nick and the Origins program. He teaches in a way that not only builds great lacrosse skills, but also builds character and an appreciation for the game." — David Shapiro
Personal performance sessions, student-athlete workshops, and coaches workshops focused on character, self-awareness, and growth.
