[...] Do You Play… A LOT? – Playing once or twice a week probably won’t hack it. Beyond the skill and athleticism of MLL players, there is also a very high game IQ. If you don’t know the ins and outs of lacrosse better than the back of your hand, you’re behind the 8-ball already. [...]

the game with the small goal is called chumash. It’s more like a game of half court basketball.

Our first-year varsity HS program has been stuck a 1950s-sized elementary-school gym (half of a normal basketball court) for the last few weeks due to wet and/or frozen weather in the Southeast. Our solution to teaching set offense under these conditions? Ditch the pads and sticks, and use a handball. We have about 15 years of coaching combined between us (head coach is certified but I’m certifiably crazy), and we have never seen players pick up set offensive plays so quickly.

What an excellent and timely article Connor!! I coach my teams with the same philosophy you just espoused in your article. I’m linking this article to my blog for my team and league parents to read!

Well put!! I really liked the fact that you stressed the importance of the coach and actually coaching. Far too often I have come across people who pride themselves on being a great coach, but does not know how to teach. The two need to co-exist to thrive!

One rule I’ve tried to follow as a field lax coach is whatever drill is practiced by a shorty should be practiced by a pole and vice versa. One of my favourite drills are the various fast break drills and changing up who fast breaks on who (4 shorties vs 3 poles, 2 poles 2 shorties vs 3 attack).

Obviously you want your poles and middies to understand their slide packages, but it’s important to get all your players capable of playing with and without the ball on offense and defense.
