Its been 9 months since I posted here. I am going to try to get this blog going again.
Football has long ended, and Lacrosse winter and spring seasons have taken over for me. We practiced indoors for the winter. I had a group of about twenty-five 4-7 year olds, almost all of them were new to the sport. So we went over all the basic skills, inside and out for about 10 weeks. Once the nicer weather came, and the spring season started, we broke the group, plus some additional kids into two teams. We have a pre-K/K team and a first grade team. I coach the 1st grade team. A group of 18 kids. Of these 18, 8 had played organized lacrosse in the past, most of them with me. With 10 kids that were either completely new or started in our winter program, I started fresh. Lots of scooping, passing, and shooting. We have worked on cradling with both hands, as well. I must say coming up to our 5th game of the season, there has been marked improvement. We practice twice a week, and try to work in a lot of skill drills, as well as team concepts. In the coming days and weeks, I will get into specific practice skill drills, and team work drills that we have been using to teach these kids the game of Lacrosse
