Lax Tips
Tips for Players to set you on your way to on-field success.
Top Qualities of Great Leaders
The qualities that delineate a remarkable leader are multifaceted. What distinguishes ordinary leadership from greatness?
Unveiling Mental Fortitude
As the lacrosse season approaches, athletes across high schools gear up not only physically but mentally as well. Mental toughness plays a pivotal role in an athlete’s journey, influencing their performance, resilience, and overall well-being. High school lacrosse athletes, in particular, can harness this mental fortitude at various stages of their season for optimal success.
16 Defensive Tips
How is your defensive game? Do attackers with quick feet blow by you? Are you losing time on the field because you just can not seem to be effective enough in the back? Defense is tremendously hard. It seems like in any sport you play, whether it’s lacrosse or not, playing defense is a grind.
Philosophy of Trying
Almost everyone in the world has heard of Michael Jordan. He is probably one of the greatest basketball players who ever lived. But, did you know that he was cut from his high school basketball team when he was in the tenth grade because he was not good enough to make the team? The man […]

Make Him Play You
Make your defenseman play you and you alone every second you are in the game. Keep moving all the time so that he must center his attention on you an not be in position to help out his fellow defensemen.
Away From the Defense
In moving the ball around the circle, make all passes sharp, short, and to the outside, away from the defenseman.
Make Passes Hard
Make feed passes hard. No rainbow balls or hospital passes, please.
Never Stand Still
When you have the ball, never stand still – keep moving all the time – if necessary run backwards and forwards – but keep moving. When you are ready to make a pass, take one step back quickly and move. If you are standing still, you’re wrong.
Feed Passes
All feed passes must be thrown crsiply and accurately. If it’s a bad pass, do your best and make a great catch to help your buddy out.
Circle Away From Pressure
Always move to meet every pass, and circle away from your defenseman.
