Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFirst lesson starts with a quick intro and assessing experience and goals. We focus on fundamentals like stick grip, cradling, passing, and catching through demos and repetition. I add simple footwork if needed, keep a slow pace with feedback, and set small goals. The session ends positive and fun so they leave confident and excited to improve.
Lesson 11+Lessons 11+ focus on defensive reads, communication, and reacting under pressure, while refining stick skills at game speed. We work through full-field concepts, transition play, and live 1v1s and 2v2s to simulate real competition. Drills become more competitive and situational, focusing on decision-making, anticipation, and consistency. The goal is to sharpen overall lacrosse IQ, build confidence in fast-paced settings, and prepare players to perform effectively in real games.
Lesson 4-10confidence and applying skills in more realistic situations. I increase speed and pressure in passing, catching, and ground balls while strengthening defensive positioning, communication, and decision-making. We work on reading the field and connecting skills into live, game-like reps and small-sided play. Drills progress to include competitive 1v1s, transition work, and situational defense to improve reaction time and lacrosse IQ.
Lesson 2-3Lessons 2–3 build on fundamentals with more movement and game speed. Focus on quicker passing, catching, and adding defensive footwork, positioning, and body control. I start combining skills into simple game-like reps to build confidence and awareness.
