Typical training session
- Technical Skill Development will encompass the majority of the
training. Once a player is proficient with their technical
skills, they must maintain them for life; so expect every session to
have a technical component. Players will learn to perfect a
certain skill set, the
art of passing and receiving, scooping, cradling and shooting.
- Scrimmages will be a part of basic training.
- Players accelerate their skills and tactical awareness playing
small-sided games, the hallmark of our youth leagues.
- Players are grouped by present skill
level, age and physical abilities; and reevaluated every week
by the trainers and coaches. You will notice that throughout
the course of a league training sessions the coaches are speaking
with each other.
Training and coaching philosophy
Develop the players - the
winning will come.
Easier said then done unless all your
staff is on board before the start. This is an absolute requirement.
Our leagues were designed from the ground up as a grass roots
community program,
providing high quality training and development of youth and young adult athletes so
they can compete
in the game of lacrosse. The youth league takes an
Academy approach focusing on technical skill development applied in a
small-sided format, much like that found in youth
travel soccer.
The Fall Ball High School Division plays full-sided. Participants
registered in the High School Division have the additional option of training on
Monday and Wednesday evenings at the Youth lacrosse fields depending on
their coaches preference.
Very important ...many
parents do not sign up their children for some activities because of
scheduling conflicts with other activities. While parents would like
their child to participate, they believe it is rude to the coach when
they do not
show up to all or most of the practices and/or games. That is NOT
how we want you to look at lacrosse. We do not care how often
your child attends practice or games, all we want to do is teach
the game to them. We will gladly work with whatever time you give
us; 10, 25, 50%... whatever.
