@CoachWheel Yes sir, I’d love to see. This is step one is a long progression of dodge, chase and avoid drills that I stole from @Nick__DiMarco a few years ago. My new situation I don’t have as much space nor time so just trying to navigate and adjust!
One of the biggest misconceptions that needs to change in the coaching world is..."Head up when you're dribbling." This simply is not true or even possible. The truth is just like everything else, choosing the right moment to look up/down is the skill.
For youth? I’d take heavy inspiration from @JOYofthePEOPLE for the overall model Local, inclusive Developmentally centered with less emphasis on tournament play Box lacrosse Camps/clinics Free play spaces Smaller sided formats for competition Not used as a vehicle to identify, select & move kids to higher level/exclusive club programming No elite labeling or the like that has been shown to shift motivation from intrinsic to extrinsic Supportive of multi sport participation and perhaps even using other donor type sports in the training context ie floor hockey. CLA/Differential learning within small sided games in practice From JOTP white paper:
Stop yelling “keep your eye on the ball!”
