Where creativity meets clarity, and vision meets action.
Tierney Training Academy (TTA) was born out of a belief that every lacrosse athlete, no matter where they live, what resources they have, or what obstacles they face, should have access to world-class training and development. What began as a simple idea has grown into a mission-driven movement dedicated to empowering athletes to train smarter, perform better, and unlock their full potential on and off the field.
Our Mission
TTA’s mission is to empower ambitious lacrosse athletes, regardless of location or access, by making high-quality, structured, and progressive sport-specific training accessible. We provide the knowledge, community, and support athletes need to develop physical performance and on-field skills, grow stronger, and confidently advance to their full potential.
Who We Are
Tierney Training Academy is a performance-focused lacrosse training organization centered around purpose, precision, and progression. We combine physical conditioning, skill development, and game IQ training into structured programs that help athletes become complete players. Our approach blends athletic performance principles with lacrosse-specific drills, teaching not just how to be better, but why it matters.
What We Do
At TTA, we offer:
Structured Camps and Programs
Our camps are designed to sharpen fundamentals and build lacrosse IQ through purposeful repetitions and real game situations. Each session integrates strength and conditioning with technical skill work so players leave better in every dimension of their game.
Performance Development
We emphasize speed, agility, strength, and conditioning tailored specifically for lacrosse athletes, helping players move better, reduce injury risk, and outwork the competition.
Community and Support
Training is not just physical. We foster a community of motivated players and provide coaching guidance, feedback, and encouragement so athletes feel supported every step of the way.
Our Philosophy
We believe effective training should be:
Purposeful
Every drill, workout, and session has a clear objective.
Progressive
Athletes evolve through measurable improvements, not random repetition.
Player-Centric
Training focuses on the athlete first, including their goals, challenges, and growth

Ryan Tierney
FOUNDER
Ryan Tierney built his game on consistency, durability, and leadership at the highest levels of the sport. He played his entire collegiate career at Hofstra University, where he became one of the most reliable and productive players in program history. Ryan started every game of his college career, a reflection of both his preparation and the trust placed in him as a teammate.During his time at Hofstra, he rewrote the record books, setting school records for career goals and career points, while also establishing CAA conference records in both categories. His production was matched by his approach to the game, marked by a high lacrosse IQ, relentless work ethic, and an ability to elevate those around him.
Ryan’s performance at the collegiate level led to his selection in the Premier Lacrosse League, where he was drafted by the Whipsnakes Lacrosse Club. He went on to compete across multiple organizations, playing one season with the Whipsnakes, one season with the Cannons, and two seasons with the Redwoods. Across each stop, Ryan was valued for his professionalism, adaptability, and deep understanding of the game.
Most recently, Ryan represented the United States on the U.S. National Super Sixes Team, competing internationally and continuing to perform at the highest level.
Today, Ryan brings that same standard to the academy that bears his name. His focus is on developing skilled players while also building complete athletes who understand preparation, accountability, and what it takes to perform consistently over time. His experience at every level informs how the academy trains, teaches, and mentors the next generation.
