[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most experienced coaches know teaching isolation plays to 4,5,6th graders is not teaching the game of lacrosse. Coaches should be focused on teaching offensive movement and general motion. A good coach will teach players to move the ball from a young age a bad coach will allow midfielders to get ball and just go to cage. Folks you should recognize from a young age what your coach is teaching. The focus should be on seeing the field, open players and moving the ball because that is the way to develop good players down the road. [/quote]

True but its hard to stop 3rd 4th 5th graders from winning draw and going to goal, especially when it works, which is how most of those games at that age are played.

Hard to stop if it’s not corrected, and often the opposite — encouraged. But instead, coaches for club teams in this area often seem focused on scoring/winning, often a symptom of their team being beat up by opponents in divisions or brackets they don’t belong in to begin with. Play the game properly against teams you are closely matched with is how players improve![/quote]
