This project was developed to help foster the continuing growth of lacrosse by providing a learning tool to supplement regular practices and games. Young players are encouraged to watch this DVD with their parents and on their own and study the details of the presentation. Studies prove what we already know to be true - video is a very powerful method of teaching and learning physical skills. Kids learn by watching and imitating and, while they need practice to hone these skills, it is a great advantage to be able to be able to assimilate information while quiet, relaxed and focused.

This is also a guide for parents and parent coaches. Lacrosse is growing rapidly and many are new to the game. Parents need to be able to understand the basics in order to encourage their kids and relate to them about the sport they are falling in love with. Kids love it when they can perform for their parents and have them really appreciate what they are working so hard at. Likewise, many parents are volunteering to coach who didn't play the game themselves. These parents quite often make great coaches, they just need a little help with some of the finer points and a list of drills and plays to work on.

There is nothing better than being part of a quality organization with a powerful positive message. Every player, parent and coach can do their part to uphold this tradition by committing themselves to improving their individual skills and knowledge.

stick is facing the wrong way.... and i don't know if this changes in High school but I think your stick isn't suppose to be stuck to the right side of your body...

[gamerpro1189]

That's at Alexander Dawson, that's where my team practices!!!

@CMP230 anytime big man....like I said, just my opinion, but I have found that most effective.

[CMP230]

@M26MASH that makes much more sence becuase you are more likley to scoop on d the stop a shot so that really helps its good to know this because i play middie and sometimes atack but now i know thank you ver much

[M26MASH]

@CMP230 No worries buddy.....I disagree with your coach (I coach and played), the stick should (in my opinion) be facing "up" as in the video, when playing on ball. As a defender, you arent trying to catch a shot or pass for that matter (if you should, great, but it is unlikely), you want to be in the position to impact a pass or shot and scope the Groundball as quickly as possible. I was once taught the way your coach told you, however, In my opinion, it is not as effective.

[CMP230]

@M26MASH i meant it like if you raise you stick in the air when the head is facing down the head will befaceing the passer or the shooter and you will catch it in stead of lifting up and the twisting the stick to catch the ball or block a shot sorry if you dont understand thats just what my coach told me when we learned defence

[M26MASH]

@CMP230 if you are talking about the 70's style "mouth of the head" facing down, I disagree, the mouth of the head needs to face up, for the past 20 years its been facing up, quicker to pick up a GB. No advantage to what I infer you are promoting. If I am misreading your statemnt, holla.

[CMP230]

you did every thing right except the front part of the head needs to be facing the ground so if you lift the stick up when some one takes a shot or is pacing it to you will catch it. this will help you because when you lift up your stick you wont need to turn the shaft and catch the ball it will already be ready
