There’s no better place for your players to improve than practice, but only if that time is used wisely. US Lacrosse has several resources to help coaches position their players for success, and the latest offering is a series of age-appropriate practice guides for boys and girls.
These guides, available free of charge on the US Lacrosse web site, emphasize station-based practices and can work as a “canned curriculum” for a brand new lacrosse coach as well as a starting point to help even the most experienced coach plan practices in a way that the kids will love. Each plan has been carefully crafted to put the athlete first to help them reach their full potential.
There are four books total in the series, each available in PDF format:
Each book includes an overview of the concept of station-based practices, guides to key objectives for success depending on the age of your athletes, several complete practice plans and a sampling of age-appropriate drills that you can utilize in your own practice schedule.
