1 Boys Coaches Instructional Meeting Dec 2017 Teaching Youth Lacrosse with Coach Dom
2 Are you qualified to coach? You don't need experience, and/or you don t need to be a good player to be a great coach!
3 PHILOSOPHYS, STANDARDS & COMMANDMENTS
4 Our Philosophy Introduce athletes to sport that is still new in IL. Create safe & fun environment that is enjoyable to both players & parents. Compete in IBLA/IGLL & represent our community with pride & respect. Become premier youth program in IL through instruction, administration & reputation. Honor roots & history of the lacrosse game.
5 Coaches & Players Standards Be on time Be ready to go (fully equipped) Wear team colors Have whistle Have a practice plan Players need to pay/give attention (especially at minors and major level) During Spring, our team is priority (not travel or another sport)
6 Coaching Commandments Engage Parents You can never have enough practice coaches to help get players suited up & help during water breaks. Designate a team coordinator to help solve problems and allow you to coach. Organize Practice Idle kids kill practice, keep in mind that kids have low attention spans. Run fun stuff at beginning of practice so late arrivals miss it while they loosen up. Print out practice plan; have assignments for your assistant coaches and goals for each drill or station. Quick water breaks (1-2 minutes); encourage water bottles with spout so helmets stay on, only gloves come off. Do everything at full speed. If you are bored they are REALLY bored! Keep it FUN!
7 Coaching Commandments Cont. Stress Fundamentals Teach defense first, young players want to score goals & hit people; instill basics of teamwork & discipline by creating impenetrable defense Teach importance of passing & off ball movement to start kids thinking about how to stop it. Keep offense simple & relevant to next level, don t bog kids down in formations & chalk talks, teach basic slide, fill & adjust defense. Our program will run similar offense at all levels so when players move up they know concept. Be creative in your drills Stay away from line drills, they are ok for brief warm-ups only, players get bored with same drills over & over, mix them up, make them competitions or challenges. Reward players once in awhile by letting them select drill they want to do.
8 Coaching Commandments Cont. Remember it is about teaching- not winning! Discipline your renegades: One or two kids who refuse to pass in games or who are disruptive in practices diminish experience for all players. Solve these problems EARLY, talk to them, at older levels get captains to talk to them. Or talk to parents if nothing else works. Play everyone!! That is the objective of youth lacrosse, develop your players. If you are obsessed with winning try a higher level or different program! Praise in public, criticize in private. Resist temptation to load up your attack Even out your attack, midfield & defense. If your best players are all at attack your defense becomes very weak. Let players try every position, you never know how good a player can be if you do not give him a chance.
9 Coaching Commandments Cont. Cultivate Goalies Even if you are lucky to have a player want to play goalie, rotate different players (at lower ages). Reinforce that good goaltending is worth more than a player scoring 6! Run lots of full field drills & scrimmages This helps players get comfortable with length of field & also conditions them. The best drill to run is 3V2 continues drill. Teach face offs Spend time on face offs because it is a very detailed technical skill. It involves lots of practice & time. Emphasize Teamwork!!

17 PRACTICE & DRILLS
18 Recommended Practice Plan Weekly plans should consist of the following types of practices. Mondays- coach s choice. 1 st practice after game is usually to address issues from previous game. Figure out plan on drive home after game while everything is fresh. Wednesdays- pure skills practice. Stick skills, transition drills, shooting drills & dodging drills, conditioning (running/physical fitness). Thursday- game day prep. This includes combination of all drills. Work on team philosophy to finish practice. This would include offense sets (even & man up), defensive formation, rides, clears & face offs.
19 Teaching Defense Teach stance. Teach positioning- you always stay between your man & goal, feet first/stick second, always protect front of goal. Teach legal stick checking as 3 rd defensive move. Teach boxing out-- not taking out! Man to man first (zone at a later time). No threat D box to box.
20 Teaching Offense Teach players to REACT instead of REMEMBER Teach player formation to help create scoring opportunities (1-3-2, 1-4-1, 2-2-2; mostly 1-3,2) Teach motion- average player has ball for 1-2 minutes. Teach other minutes. Keys to motion- dodge, clear, show, replace, stress curls & fades. Teach dodges Face dodge, split dodge, roll dodge, inside roll, swim, rocker dodge. Teach art of "CHANGE - changing speed & direction. Emphasize stick placement (tight & protected) Use X-man to slow pace, regroup & sub.
21 Teaching Goalie Clear Clearing the ball is extremely difficult in youth lacrosse, teach live & set clear. Use extra man goalie. Teach importance of space. Demonstrate standard, inverted, 4 across clear. One defender each side of goalie, one defender mid field sideline. Think L shape. Middies get to above mid line with 1 at home.
22 Teaching Rides MAKE IT FUN! This is attacks only chance to play defense. Have standard & back up ride. Examples "Bird" (or 33) "Blackjack" ( 21 ). Objective is to force turnover on offensive side of field. Goal is to create 2-3 double teams before opponent gets to midline. Stress importance of no threat D once opponent passes midfield (most mistakes occur at this point).
