[quote=Anonymous]I’ve coached and had three of my kids play lacrosse here are my five easy steps to lacrosse competency.

1. Get a stick and gloves from a lax specialty store. Work with the staff to get the stick strung right and gloves that fit well. All the gear you can order online or get second hand (you will probably meet families who are happy to give you an old helmet).

2. This fall and winter have your son attend a clinic or  two (Besthda Lacrosse club (BLC) runs a bunch of clinics but there are tons out there).

3. (This is the most important step) starting in the fall spend 15-30 minutes a day playing catch and practicing ground balls.  If you don’t know how to throw and catch with a stick use a baseball mitt.  If you do this it is likely that you kid will be the best player on the field in his first season.

4. In the late winter register for the local rec team.  Prioritize fun and winning over competition at the highest level in the first year.  It’s a huge plus if you can find a team with friends and nice families.

5.  If he’s enjoyed his first season contact one of the better travel teams (I recommend BLC or next level for you but there are lots of clubs)  and tryout for the team.

Good luck. [/quote]
