Considered by many to be the “BEST ALL AROUND LACROSSE PLAYER IN THE WORLD”, Jay Jalbert’s accolades as a player are numerous (see below).  However, his uncanny ability to “TEACH” the game is what has set him apart from many of his peers.

In 2006, Jay and US Lacrosse (the national governing body of men’s and women’s lacrosse) combined forces to produce the Coaches Education Program.  Through online videos and instructional clinics, the Coaches Education Program enables the sport of lacrosse to be taught at a higher level throughout the country.  The beneficiaries of this program are the young coaches and players willing to put in the time to learn the techniques and skills necessary to succeed in lacrosse.

Sportskool, a video on demand cable program, is yet another tool for young lacrosse players to learn the skills involved in lacrosse.  Headlining this program is Jay Jalbert.  Not only did Jay design and develop the itinerary taught on Sportskool, but he also produced the television program.  You can catch Jay on Sportskool.com or view a portion of the instruction on our web-site.

In 2003, Jay co-founded Xcelerate Lacrosse Camps, and in 4 short years, has helped the company reach its goal of becoming the “#1 instructional lacrosse camp in the country”.  With 17 summer camps spread throughout the United States in 2008, young lacrosse players of all skill levels and backgrounds are now able to take full advantage of learning from the best players and coaches in the game.
