TEACHING KIDSTEACHING KIDS
“I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. AS A TEACHER, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.” -H. Ginott
“Winning is importantBut…
Teaching life lessons is more important”

THE PRACTICE PLANTHE PRACTICE PLAN
• What part of the season is it?– Fall ball, early March, June
• What is the schedule for the week?• What happened in the last game?
– are there any elements we can build on?
• What is the intensity level you would like to see?
• What kind of field space do you have?– parking lot, small field, gym
• Consistency• Write out your plan and stick with it!!
Coaching Considerations:

“16 Minute Drill”Partner Passing
16 Minute Drill16 Minute Drill
• One Hand • Two hand, one
craddle– Count the reps
• Quick Sticks• Back to back• Ground Ball• Switch hands• Long toss• Hitch and Throw
• Remember you are isolating passing and catching.– Keep it simple and then build
• Pick 4• 2 minutes each hand• “shoot the passes”• Guard against passivity!!• Good time to “check in”
with players– Make a connection other
than lacrosse
INIVIDUAL PERIODSINIVIDUAL PERIODS
Offense
• Let athletes be athletes• Teach the kids to play, then let them play!
– Avoid having too many plays and “playing through rote memory”
• Practice with interchangeable parts– Defensemen must learn offensive skills– Offensive Players must play defense
• There is no such thing as a Center Middie!!– You’re an offensive player that happens to be in the center
or…– A defensive player that happens to be in the crease!
• Repetition, Repetition, Repetition!!!
Offensive TheoryOffensive Theory
The RulesThe Rules
• Dodge to Score
• Dodge to Feed
• Dodge and Dump (roll back)
• Dodge and Roll Back
Over the Net ShootingOver the Net Shooting
• Low Impact– Focus on the smaller details of mechanics
• Start with stick in off hand– From the start they are changing hands,
although this is not the focus of the drill it gives them additional reps
• Shoot the ball in to the lower third of the net.– This brings wrists and forearms in to the shot
• Be patient– it may take a little time.
Small Group DrillsSmall Group Drills
Combined &
Transition Drills
Small Group DrillsSmall Group Drills
• In larger groups it is difficult for a coach to pick up individual mistakes.
• Mistakes tend to standout when working in smaller groups!!
• In the smaller group, athletes often realize that they are not as open as they think they might be!!
• Fewer teammates to bail you out • Less people to “blame”
• You cannot “hide” in the smaller group

• Everyone plays everywhere
• Start drill with:
– GB
– Outlet
• Coach
• Goalie
• Reinforce:
– Spacing
– Draw and dump
Short Field FBsShort Field FBs
Coaching Points
• Net spacing can be adjusted to players ability and to target conditioning.
• Draw and dump
• 3v2 or 4v3
• A & D must touch the midline after each rep
• Can start with a GB on the wing
– I do not use an outlet, it decreases reps in this drill.

Approach DrillApproach Drill
Vary the position of the 3 lines from in front, to behind the cage as well as the sides of the restraining box. The bucket or cone with have to move as well.
Use stumps for one or both defenders
Vary the pace of the 1:1 with the defender and the initiator.
– If you play this both sides full speed: The drill is the same, unless the defender puts the ball on the ground. At that point, the coach will throw a ball to either the goalie or the middle defender for a quick clear.

Small Group Team DefenseSmall Group Team Defense
A progression of drills to develop and reinforce the principles of team defense.
Small Group Team DefenseSmall Group Team Defense
•Team defense can be difficult to teach with younger athletes.
•Just because the field is your classroom, doesn’t mean you have to deliver a lecture..
–Have an active classroom
•Small group drills allow the coach to target smaller details in technique and mechanics.
•Players cannot hide, it pushes athletes to be more active in practice
•Practicing man down without have to actually practice man down.

•D1: “I GOT BALL”•When the ball is passed the defender drops to the cone opening his hips in the direction the ball was thrown. (touch the bucket)
•D2: “I GOT LEFT”•Position with his stick to the inside where he can touch the bucket. As ball is thrown he pushes out to approach O4. When defenders push out, they should push to spots rather than “right at” his man.
D3: “I GOT RIGHT”•drops to backside post, opening his hips in the direction the ball was thrown.

Coaching Points:1) Players do not
PHYICALLY follow the ball, once the player they are defending passes the ball, they drop to middle to become a helper.
2) COMMUNICATE!!!3) We use a bucket as the
middle cone and kids have to hit the bucket when the drop to the middle.
4) Keep the ball moving and have players change direction.
