[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't disagree more about not having a speed and agility coach.

it's not just to go faster, it's also injury prevention and footwork.

Stick skills mean nothing if you can't run past anyone, or create separation.

If you practice running sprints and your kids form is horrible, they wont get quicker.

If your kid wants to move from the B team you are going to have to put the extra effort and money in for outside coaching.

Lacrosse in this area is super competitive and sadly that means additional support outside of just practice.[/quote]

Most people don't need form work, they need to train the body to move faster. You won't get injured as a 12yo sprinting.

Speed and agility are two totally separate frameworks, footwork is not a speed thing.

Dancing around cones is a fine, rudimentary, level tasks to improve agility. But if you're not incorporating decision making you're just rehearsing. [/quote]

The form not fixed before 12 will lead to injury later.

You do you, but I have been lucky enough to witness some success in the sport and the big differentiator is always speed.

There is a reason why every tryout at every level starts with a run test.[/quote]

Your kid must have had insanely shitty form then, because almost no 12yo really needs help with that. [/quote]

From my experience, almost every 12 yo needs help with that.   [/quote]

maybe its just what the gyms tell me, but i've heard them say that kids are always being told to run during practice by coaches, but no one ever teaches them how.  So they can run, but they can run more efficiently and last longer with some training. my son was running a consistent okay time, but just wasn't improving in speed until he took the time to look at form.
