Today was
a great day against
We had
West Side, Ground Hog,
Our
ability to pick up ground balls at full speed and pass the ball on the run up
field right away to the attack or middies was the difference. We won those games because we played better lacrosse
than our opponents who were bigger and stronger than we were.
Our goalie
clinic really paid off: Bulls Eye, Land Lord, Torpedo, and
Our attack
is starting to figure it out. Let the ball do the work. Passing to the weak side post to the open man
is the key.
Congratulations
to “Smiley” who had his first
talley of his lacrosse career
yesterday.
I can tell
which players are practicing lacrosse on their own and who is simply playing on
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. It is showing up as success on the field.
Make sure
you are picking up your sticks on days other than Wednesday, Thursday and
Sunday because there is no substitute for the ability to “pass and catch”. We will work on fundamentals this week on
Wednesday: ground balls on the run, passing on the run, shooting on the run,
and catching on the run.
I urge
each player to find a buddy or their dad to play catch and practice with your
stick on the days that we do not have lacrosse practices or games.
Many have
asked about lacrosse camps, and the lacrosse camps that are excellent for you
to attend are outlined below. I urge you
to go to lacrosse camp if you are serious about improving your game. Every player that goes to lacrosse camp comes
back a better player.
Here are
the details:
