Product Description
Product Description
'A masterful, in-depth job' - Bill Tierney, head men's lacrosse coach, Princeton University. 'The A to Z coaching manual for all youth levels of lacrosse. It covers areas like parental involvement that have never been covered before...I recommend it to the entire lacrosse community' - Dave Cottle, head men's lacrosse coach, University of Maryland Coach. You just volunteered to coach your son's lacrosse team, and you don't know a cross check from a body check or the crease from the centerline. Don't despair - "Coaching Boys' Lacrosse" is here to help. From your first team meeting to equipment needs to dealing with officials, "Coaching Boys' Lacrosse" will get you started - and keep you going. You'll learn the basics of lacrosse, plus how to teach the fundamental skills of passing and catching, scooping, dodging, and shooting through the 'games approach', which enhances team communication and decision-making skills. Drills for offensive and defensive strategies are also included, and you'll even learn to develop your own coaching style - one that works best for you and your players. Before you know it, you'll be coaching players who are moving, motivated, and most of all, having fun. This book helps you to: survive your first practice and game; promote good habits, concentration, and teamwork; find answers to common problems in the Q and A sections; match drills to age and ability; get tips on creating a positive attitude, building team spirit, and getting along with parents; and, make practices fun and rewarding. 'A must-read for the many new players, parents, and coaches' - John Grubb, head lacrosse coach, North Harford High School. 'Provides all youth coaches and players with a plan for success' - Gary Ritz, Bel Air (Maryland) Recreation Council. 'A reference designed to help all levels of coaches and players be successful' - Duncan Booth, Cockeysville (Maryland) Recreation Council.
From the Author
It was my pleasure to spend time with the Heaton-Mersey team on their summer tour of the U.S. The boys played very well in the matches I saw and displayed the same love of the game that many boys in Maryland have. Best wishes to all the players in the UK.

A great first reference
26 April 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am realtively new to the sport of lacrosse. My son is getting involved and I had volunteered to coach his team of beginners (first and second graders). This book was a great resource to the general rules of the game and techniques. I found the illustrations helpful and the practice games great.
