Players
Do not fear failure. If you are constantly worried about messing up you will always grip your stick too tight and never be able to play to your potential. And with that, Give 100%, 100% of the time. If you are going hard and you are passionate about what you are doing, it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, you just learn from it. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s about having a short memory, becoming better from the mistake, and worrying about executing the next play.
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.
Move to Meet the Pass
Always move to meet every pass, and circle away from your defenseman.
Fake Passes
When you have the ball, be constantly faking passes – keep your defense man’s stick moving. Go ahead, throw that sky-whammy.
Possessing the Ball
When in possession of ball, make the defense man play your stick – watch his stick – the position of it will determine the direction of your feed and the type of dodge you might try.
Make Good Passes
Take pains to make every pass a good pass.
Never Pass to a Covered Player
Never make a pass to a man who is covered just to get rid of the ball. In lacrosse, passing the ball to a covered player can be a costly mistake that can result in a turnover or a missed opportunity. When a player is covered, it means that they are being closely guarded by […]
Be an Outlet
If an attack man is being ridden hard and can’t dodge or get away – the nearest man on each side goes to help him.
Outside Shooting
On all long shots, a man must be on the crease.
Crease Play
On every screen shot the crease man should check-up on the defense man’s stick, and immediately face the goalie, so that he is ready to bat in a rebound.
Give and Go
After receiving a pass, as the ball moves around the outside, look first at the man who threw you the ball to see what he is doing, then at the crease.
After the Pass
If you receive a pass after cutting and haven’t got a good shot, hold onto the ball.
