Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson is about getting to know the player. Through some basic drills, I will gain insight into the players strengths and areas of improvement. From here, the rest of the first lesson will be focused on fundamentals such as form for cradling and passing.
Lesson 2-3Lessons 2-3 will focus on practice, improvement and implementing the form we learned in lesson 1. In addition, lesson 2-3 we will begin working on ground balls and shooting. Through fun drills we will begin to build the repetition and practice of fundamental skills of the athletes play.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4-10 are adjusted depending on how quickly the athlete picks up the proper form and skills of lacrosse. Through drills such as hungry hippos, Easter egg hunt, and relay races, I can help guide the athlete through faster paced application of skills.
Lesson 11+Lessons 11+ will be spent narrowing the drills to focus on specific goals the athlete wants to achieve. Whether it’s being able to run faster while cradling, become better at catching the ball, or have their passes be more accurate, the drills and games will help the athlete feel more confident in their skills and play of the game.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonMy first lesson with advanced players is always an assessment of their skills and play. Depending on the player’s position, the drills will incorporate both fundamental basics of lacrosse such as passing, ground balls, catching, and shooting as well as some more advanced drills specified to their position on the field. I always end my sessions with a fun target practice game for shooting or a fun relay.
