Testimonials
Ethan Walker has excelled at every level he has played lacrosse at, whether it be at an elite high school, Division I, or professional. He brings the same dedication to coaching. I have coached club lacrosse in the Kansas City area, and it is obvious that Ethan is a cut above even the best coaches in the area. My own son has come very far in a short amount of time thanks to Ethan’s work, and I am beyond happy with the results.
Ethan has been great for my son. He puts him through a variety of drills that not only build his current skills, but also prepare him for a higher level of play. Ethan’s experience allows him to tailor workouts to the needs of the modern player, with training that will translate to both indoor and outdoor lacrosse. You also won’t find a nice person to work with your children. Ethan is a great person and an excellent example of how a professional athlete should carry themselves, and being able to have my son around that is money well spent.
My son began training with Ethan at Homefield less than a year ago. The types of drills, agility work, and techniques Ethan focuses on has taken my son’s game to a new level. His footwork has improved, the fundamentals are sharper, he has become more consistent using his offhand and his lacrosse IQ is growing with every session. We feel very fortunate to have such a skilled coach in KC and look forward to continuing our development with coach Walker.
Ethan has been working with my son for a few months. He has been nothing but professional, motivating, and knowledgeable! He has provided additional drills and skills that my son would not have been exposed to in a regular lacrosse team setting. Each week my son looks forward to his lesson with Ethan, as well as continuing to sharpen his skills in this game.
As a parent, I am always looking for the best sports program for my child. I have a son playing in college and another about to enter high school and Ethan Walker’s Homefield Lacrosse program has exceeded my expectations. The lessons are quick-moving and have maximum reps, which keeps my boys engaged and motivated to improve. Coach Walker is able to identify areas for improvement and make small corrections that have taken my player’s fundamentals to the next level. The emphasis on footwork has been particularly impressive. Both of my son’s speed and agility on the field have improved noticeably, and their footwork has become much more precise. What’s more, both of my sons have achieved more in one lesson with Coach Walker than in hours of other camps. I highly recommend this program to any parent looking for a sports program that delivers real results.
Training with Ethan has undoubtably helped our son become a better lacrosse player. Not only does Ethan understand lacrosse at a deep level (having played at the highest levels), but he also has a unique ability to communicate and transfer that knowledge to his players. We have been incredibly impressed with is approach and skill set.
