This post is for both, parents and coaches.
Training this age group can either be a nightmare, or a terrific learning experience.
If you give them instruction, and ask them to repeat it - it often goes better, and the time is enjoyed by everyone involved (rather than having to stop and discipline).
As soon as you give them time to start thinking about being silly, you’ve already lost.
The best kids coach are the FOCUSED ones, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have fun along the way.
These two videos demonstrate that focus and fun, with the discipline and reaction of lacrosse players on display.
