Beginning Lacrosse: Essential Guide for Youth Players and Parents

How does lacrosse differ for boys and girls. What equipment is needed for youth lacrosse. Where can beginners find leagues and camps to start playing lacrosse. How can parents support their child’s lacrosse journey. What are the basic rules and skills in lacrosse for beginners.

Understanding the Basics of Youth Lacrosse

Lacrosse is an exciting and fast-paced sport that has been gaining popularity among youth athletes in recent years. For beginners and their parents, understanding the fundamentals of the game is crucial. Youth lacrosse programs typically cater to children aged 4 to 14, offering various leagues, camps, and clinics to help young players develop their skills and passion for the sport.

One of the key aspects of youth lacrosse is the distinction between boys’ and girls’ versions of the game. While both share some similarities, there are significant differences in rules and equipment requirements that beginners should be aware of.

Boys’ vs. Girls’ Lacrosse: Key Differences

• Contact level: Boys’ lacrosse allows for more physical contact, while girls’ lacrosse has stricter rules limiting contact.
• Equipment: Boys wear more protective gear, including helmets and shoulder pads, while girls typically wear goggles and mouth guards.
• Stick design: Boys’ sticks have deeper pockets, allowing for different ball-handling techniques.
• Field size and number of players: Girls’ lacrosse is played on a larger field with 12 players per team, while boys’ lacrosse has 10 players on a smaller field.

Is it possible for girls to play in boys’ leagues? Yes, in some cases, girls can join boys’ lacrosse leagues, especially when dedicated girls’ leagues are not available. However, it’s important to note that they will need to adapt to the different rules and equipment requirements of boys’ lacrosse.

Essential Equipment for Youth Lacrosse Players

Proper equipment is crucial for safety and performance in lacrosse. The specific gear required may vary depending on whether a child is playing boys’ or girls’ lacrosse, as well as the level of play.

Basic Equipment for All Players

• Lacrosse stick
• Mouthguard
• Cleats
• Athletic shorts or pants
• Water bottle

Additional Equipment for Boys’ Lacrosse

• Helmet
• Shoulder pads
• Arm pads
• Gloves
• Athletic cup

Additional Equipment for Girls’ Lacrosse

• Goggles
• Optional: Gloves, soft headgear

Are there any equipment considerations for very young players? For children in Kinder Lacrosse programs (ages 4 to 6), equipment requirements may be less stringent. Some programs provide sticks for beginners, and while gloves and helmets are encouraged, they may not be mandatory for this limited-contact introduction to the sport.

Finding the Right Lacrosse Program for Your Child

When introducing your child to lacrosse, it’s essential to find a program that matches their age, skill level, and interests. Many communities offer a variety of options for youth lacrosse players, ranging from introductory clinics to competitive leagues.

Types of Youth Lacrosse Programs

1. Kinder Lacrosse (Ages 4 to 6): Introductory programs focusing on basic skills and stick work.
2. Recreational Leagues: Typically organized by age groups, these leagues emphasize fun and skill development.
3. Travel Teams: More competitive programs that may involve playing against teams from other communities.
4. Camps and Clinics: Intensive, short-term programs often led by experienced coaches or players.
5. Box Lacrosse: An indoor version of the sport, often played during the winter season.

How can parents choose the best program for their child? Consider factors such as your child’s age, experience level, time commitment, and goals. It’s often beneficial to start with introductory programs or clinics before moving on to more competitive leagues.

Developing Fundamental Lacrosse Skills

Success in lacrosse relies on mastering a set of core skills. For beginners, focusing on these fundamentals is crucial for building a strong foundation in the sport.

Essential Lacrosse Skills for Beginners

• Cradling: The basic motion of holding and protecting the ball in the stick.
• Scooping: Picking up ground balls quickly and efficiently.
• Passing: Accurately throwing the ball to teammates.
• Catching: Receiving passes from teammates.
• Shooting: Propelling the ball towards the goal with accuracy and power.
• Dodging: Maneuvering past defenders with the ball.

How can young players improve these skills at home? Encourage regular practice of stick skills, such as wall ball (throwing and catching against a wall) and cradling drills. Many skills can be honed in the backyard or local park with minimal equipment.

Understanding Lacrosse Rules and Gameplay

While the rules of lacrosse can be complex, beginners should focus on grasping the basic concepts of gameplay. As players progress, they can learn more intricate rules and strategies.

Basic Rules for Beginners

• Objective: Score more goals than the opposing team by throwing the ball into the goal.
• Field of Play: Rectangular field with goals at each end.
• Duration: Typically four quarters, with length varying by age group and level of play.
• Possession: Teams gain possession through face-offs, turnovers, or after goals.
• Movement: Players can run with the ball in their stick, pass to teammates, or shoot at the goal.
• Fouls: Various infractions result in penalties, potentially giving the other team possession or a player advantage.

What are some common mistakes beginners make regarding rules? New players often struggle with concepts like offsides, proper checking techniques, and understanding when to release the ball to avoid a turnover. Coaches and referees play a crucial role in educating young players about these rules during practices and games.

The Role of Parents in Youth Lacrosse

Parental support is crucial for a child’s success and enjoyment in lacrosse. Parents can contribute positively to their child’s lacrosse experience in several ways.

Ways Parents Can Support Their Young Lacrosse Player

• Encourage regular practice and skill development.
• Provide necessary equipment and ensure it’s properly maintained.
• Attend games and practices to show support.
• Volunteer as a coach or team manager if possible.
• Help with transportation to games and events.
• Promote good sportsmanship and respect for teammates, opponents, and officials.

How can parents avoid being overly involved or putting too much pressure on their child? It’s important to maintain a balance between support and allowing the child to develop their own passion for the sport. Focus on effort and improvement rather than just outcomes, and always prioritize your child’s enjoyment of the game.

Advancing in Lacrosse: Beyond the Basics

As young players develop their skills and passion for lacrosse, they may seek opportunities to advance their game. There are numerous pathways for progression in youth lacrosse, from recreational to highly competitive levels.

Opportunities for Advancement

1. Select or Travel Teams: More competitive programs that often involve tryouts.
2. Position-Specific Training: Camps or clinics focused on particular roles (e.g., goalie, attack, defense).
3. Off-Season Training: Programs to maintain and improve skills during the off-season.
4. Multi-Sport Participation: Engaging in complementary sports to enhance overall athleticism.
5. High School Lacrosse: Preparing for the transition to more competitive play.

What factors should be considered when deciding to pursue more advanced lacrosse opportunities? Consider your child’s level of interest, time commitment, physical and emotional readiness, and long-term goals. It’s also important to balance lacrosse with other activities and academic responsibilities.

The Future of Youth Lacrosse: Trends and Developments

Youth lacrosse continues to evolve, with new trends and rule changes shaping the sport’s future. Staying informed about these developments can help players and parents make informed decisions about their lacrosse journey.

Current Trends in Youth Lacrosse

• Emphasis on player safety, including improved protective gear and rule modifications.
• Growing popularity of box lacrosse and its influence on field lacrosse skills.
• Increased focus on diversity and inclusion in lacrosse programs.
• Integration of technology for training and performance analysis.
• Expansion of lacrosse into new geographic areas and demographics.

How might these trends impact beginning lacrosse players? New players entering the sport may benefit from improved safety measures, more diverse playing opportunities, and innovative training methods. However, they may also face increased competition as the sport grows in popularity.

In conclusion, beginning lacrosse offers young athletes an exciting opportunity to develop physical skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship. By understanding the basics of the sport, finding appropriate programs, focusing on skill development, and staying informed about the sport’s evolution, new players and their families can embark on a rewarding lacrosse journey. Whether pursuing recreational play or aspiring to competitive levels, the foundations laid in youth lacrosse can provide lifelong benefits both on and off the field.

60-second shot clock reset proposed in men’s college lacrosse

The NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules Committee proposed resetting the shot clock to 60 seconds when the offensive team retains possession after taking a valid shot and in other specific situations in the offensive half of the field, beginning in the 2021-22 academic year.  

All rules recommendations must be approved by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which is scheduled to discuss men’s lacrosse proposals July 21. 

The shot clock also would be reset to 60 seconds after loose-ball technical fouls in the offensive half of the field. If a foul is committed during a clear and the clock is above 60 seconds, the shot clock would be reset to 80 seconds. 

Once play is stopped in flag-down (slow whistle) scenarios and the shot clock is at or below 60 seconds while possession remains in the offensive half of the field, the shot clock would reset to 60 seconds. If the shot clock is above 60 seconds, the clock would be reset to 80 seconds.

When play is stopped for a defensive injury and the shot clock is above 60 seconds, the reset would be 80 seconds. If the shot clock is at or below 60 seconds in the offensive half of the field, it would be reset to 60 seconds.

“When the initial 80-second shot clock was put in place, it had to take into account the clearing game,” said Jon Hind, committee chair and director of athletics at Hamilton. “When the offense retains possession after a valid shot, the subsequent reset stayed at 80 this season, even though the ball was already cleared. The committee felt this is slowing down the game, and we wanted to focus on increasing the pace of play.”

When the visible all-possession shot clock was originally implemented in the spring of 2019, the committee wanted a clock that could display the 20 seconds a team has to clear the defensive half of the field and then reset the shot clock to 60 seconds once a team crossed midfield. However, financial and technology obstacles at that time did not allow the committee to fully implement this concept. The result was a visible 80-second all-possession shot clock.

“This was something that everyone had in the back of their minds as being the best option for our game,” said Willie Scroggs, the secretary-rules editor for men’s lacrosse. “We’ve reached the place where we originally wanted to get to back in 2019.”

While this is not a rules change year for men’s lacrosse, the committee is able to make this recommendation to PROP due to a moratorium last year on any rules changes that could impact school budgets for the 2020-21 academic year. The moratorium was put in place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This recommendation goes hand in hand with a rule change the committee approved in 2017 requiring schools to have two shot clocks that could be set/reset to two different times. This change was delayed by PROP last year and subsequently a new effective date of 2022 was established. 

Other discussion

Committee members spoke at length about the new faceoff rules that went into effect for the 2021 season. Under the new rules, players are required to stand, and the hand closest to the throat of the crosse must be in a palm up position. 

The committee received feedback from the membership indicating the faceoff change was a positive for the game. 

Additionally, the committee thoroughly discussed plays around the goal crease. In recent years, this has been a regular topic for the committee to discuss. The committee will continue to monitor plays in this area of the field.    

Eastern Michigan to offer women’s lacrosse starting in 2021-22

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University announced today, Nov. 6, that the EMU Department of Athletics will add women’s lacrosse as a varsity sport. The program will play its inaugural season against NCAA Division I competition in the 2021-22 academic year.

We understand the He is the ultimate builder of this team, and we trust Him with that. It’s a privilege to play the game we love for the God we love.”

McMinn brought in a talented recruiting class for the upcoming campaign, compiling a youthful, dynamic roster for the unit’s flagship season.

After the club’s opener against its capital-city rival, the Warriors will continue their schedule with three more road battles against NCAA foes. The squad is set to face off with NCAA Division III schools University of Puget Sound (March 7) and Pacific University (March 10), before heading out to La Grande, Ore. for back-to-back matches on March 20-21—starting with NCAA Division II Northwest Nazarene University (NNU) and concluding with Eastern Oregon University (EOU).

American Athletic Conference to Sponsor Women’s Lacrosse Beginning in 2019

Story Links

Follow @American_WLax

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco has announced the addition of women’s lacrosse as the Conference’s 22^nd sport beginning in 2019. The six-team league will be comprised of current conference members University of Cincinnati, University of Connecticut, East Carolina University and Temple University, as well as the University of Florida and Vanderbilt University as affiliate members.

The American becomes the 16^th Division I conference to sponsor women’s lacrosse.

 

Cincinnati, UConn, Temple, Florida and Vanderbilt are current members of the Big East Conference in women’s lacrosse, while ECU begins its first season of intercollegiate competition in 2018 after the addition of women’s lacrosse to its sports roster in March 2016. Women’s lacrosse is the first sport addition to the conference since its reinvention in 2013. The American will now sponsor 10 men’s and 12 women’s sports. The conference will conduct its first women’s lacrosse championship in 2019 with the site and dates still to be determined. The American will receive an automatic bid into the NCAA Championship.

 

“We are extremely pleased to be adding women’s lacrosse as a conference sport,” Aresco said. “The development of the sport has been impressive over the last decade and its popularity continues to grow. Our decision to sponsor women’s lacrosse will be of great benefit to our membership and will provide our student-athletes with additional competitive opportunities and will enhance our conference’s brand. I also want to take this opportunity to welcome Florida and Vanderbilt as affiliate members. These are two programs which have been highly successful at the national level. I look forward to watching our women’s lacrosse league develop and achieve great success over the next several years.”

 

Cincinnati added women’s lacrosse as a varsity sport in 2007 and began its first season of competition in 2008. The Bearcats are led by sixth-year head coach Gina Oliver, a three-time All-American at Ohio State.

 

UConn first began playing women’s lacrosse in 1997. The Huskies are coached by Katie Woods, who is entering her eighth season on the Storrs campus. A two-time Big East coach-of-the-year honoree, Woods is the program’s all-time winningest coach with 73 victories.

 

Former North Carolina standout and Duke assistant coach Amanda Barnes is set to lead ECU in its first season of competition in 2018.

 

Temple has a storied history in women’s lacrosse dating back to its first season in 1975. The Owls have earned 17 NCAA Championship berths, winning national titles in 1984 and 1988. Current head coach Bonnie Rosen, a 2010 US Lacrosse Hall of Fame inductee, has won 165 games during her career, including 97 in her 11 seasons at the helm of the Temple program.

 

Florida has made seven NCAA Championship appearances since it began playing women’s lacrosse in 2010. The Gators advanced to the national semifinals in 2012 and have won three consecutive Big East crowns. Amanda O’Leary, who has guided Florida since the program’s inception, coached at Yale from 1993-2007. Her 293 career victories ranks fifth all-time in Division I women’s history.

Vanderbilt’s first season of competition was in 1996. Head coach Cathy Swezey is entering her 21^st season as head coach of the Commodores. She has led Vanderbilt to six NCAA tournament appearances, including a trip to the national semifinals in 2004.

 

Mid-South Conference adds Women’s Lacrosse beginning in 2018-19

Women’s Lacrosse | Thu, Aug. 2, 2018

COLUMBIA, Ky. — The Mid-South Conference has added women’s lacrosse to its championship sports beginning with the 2018-19 season, MSC Commissioner Eric Ward announced today.

The MSC’s Administrative Council recommended adding women’s lacrosse as a conference sport to the Council of Presidents during the conference’s summer meetings.  Women’s lacrosse becomes the 28th sport in the Mid-South.

“We are excited to announce the addition of women’s lacrosse as our newest conference championship sport,” Ward said. “The sport is growing in popularity among NAIA institutions and is currently an invitational sport by the NAIA, making it even more attractive for our member schools to consider as a new student-athlete recruitment opportunity.

“We were fortunate to attract interest from three existing and potential new affiliate-member institutions, as well as three of our full-member institutions that were already sponsoring the sport,” Ward added. “We are looking forward to an exciting first year of competition, and expect the number of participating schools to grow over the next few years.”

Ave Maria (Fla.), Cumberlands (Ky.), Georgetown (Ky.), Keiser (Fla.), Life (Ga.) and Marian (Ind.) makes up the six-team conference. Marian’s addition becomes official following the MSC’s Council of President’s meeting on August 14, when a vote to accept Marian as an affiliate member is expected to be finalized.

Cumberlands (No. 3), Keiser (No. 5) and Georgetown (No. 6) all finished the 2018 season ranked in the top-10 in the NAIA Women’s Lacrosse Postseason Coaches’ Top-10. Marian was among five teams receiving votes in the poll.

Cumberlands, Georgetown, and Keiser all played in the NAIA Women’s Lacrosse Invitational last season.

The Mid-South Conference schedule begins March 1 with the championship slated for April 25-27, 2019, on the Cumberlands’ campus in Williamsburg, Ky.

The Beginning of Bobcat Lacrosse Season – The Paw Print

From January 27th-30th, both the girls’ and boys’ lacrosse teams hosted tryouts for their 2020 season. With a district realignment that changed the competition, both teams are “hoping to put ourselves in the position to win our district this year,” said girls lacrosse coach, Richard Dugdale. 

While for the boys’ team, junior, Robert Samay, who’s been playing for over six years, explains how last year the varsity team went 10 and 6. This year the boys also have a new coach, Calder Alfano.

“He went to Duke for lacrosse so he knows what he’s talking about,” said Samay. 

 Coach Alfano is most looking forward to helping his students exceed their expectations. He believes the team’s biggest strength is their competitiveness.

“They are aggressive and push each other to get better daily.” Specifically, defense explains Samay. Last year, the boy’s team got to districts but unfortunately didn’t win, so this year their goal is to go back to districts and take the winning title.

As the boys have been working hard to reach their goals, the girls’ team has significantly improved in their performance from past years. 

“Developing better communication and stick skills along with a stronger bond”, says Dugdale. He believes that their biggest strength this year will be their ability to field a team with solid players in every position on the field. 

According to Dugdale, most girls public high school lacrosse teams build around a couple of the star players making them limited with the number of other skilled players.

 “We are very fortunate to have girls coming off our bench that would start on most of the other teams in our conference.  When it’s all said and done, we may have seven or more players that score thirty plus goals this year.” said Dugdale. 

While the season is just getting started, sophomore, attack player, Amalia Lauricella explains that for tryouts she prepared by playing with friends and having a personal trainer.

While the season is just starting up, the girls’ and the boys’ team are ready to work hard and to defeat their biggest competitions to accomplish their highest goals.

90,000 The 17-year-old Dynamo defender scored in lacrosse style. We found out who taught him this trick

The crazy goal of Dmitry Kuzmin, which will definitely be appreciated overseas.

Saturday’s match in Mogilev will be remembered not only for the thousand of Yaroslav Maslenikov and the fact that the Lions had a great comeback with a 1: 3 score, but also for the goal that claims to be the best at the start of the season. It is a pity that we do not have a high-quality repetition, but even without it, it is clear that Andrei Svechnikov and Evgeny Oksentyuk have a very capable follower. Just take a look at this!

17-year-old defender (yes, defender) Dmitry Kuzmin scored a lacrosse-style goal for Mogilev goalkeeper Artem Sergeev. Immediately after the game, we spoke to the cocky but very talented hockey player about this moment.

– In fact, everything happened quickly, – says Dmitry. – I found myself with the puck outside the goal – I decided why not try it. It worked out well. I didn’t look at the goalkeeper – I focused more on my actions. Perhaps, by the way, the goalkeeper opened the corner a little. Or simply did not expect it – it will be necessary to revise it later. But I myself decided to throw it right before the episode – such moments cannot be predicted or planned.

From the video it seemed that Alexander Suvorov was more happy for Kuzmin than the others.But there is no hidden subtext in this – the young guys did not hammer into such a puck with anyone. It’s just that the forward had a rush of emotion.

– Sasha is just a friendly guy. Well, we communicate well. I am always happy for his successes, and he is for me.

Dmitry said that he had never scored like that before in matches.

– I practice these things in training, but to empty net. Sometimes it works.But in the game I have never used this trick before – even in children’s hockey. Only at Ilya Spat [the forward of Zhlobin Metallurg ] did he look, which he so often pledged, and all the time he wanted to try. Spat is a famous master. Today I decided that I can take the risk.

Who taught me this? Ilya taught. He helped me the most. Well, all Zhlobin youth also taught when we played together at the institute of national teams in Raubichi.We stayed after training, worked out. It turns out that the training was not in vain.

I would not say that there is something super difficult in lacrosse goal for professional hockey players. In my opinion, the main thing is to relax your hands and lift the puck on the hook, and then everything will work out by itself.

The coaches praised the young hockey player for his initiative.

– They said that I was a fellow – in this particular moment I helped the team.And in general, improvisation is supported in Molodechno. Did Koltsov congratulate you on the goal? Not yet. I think he has a little different worries now – he’s in Dinamo Minsk.

In the summer, Kuzmina chose the Ontario league club Flint in the CHL import draft, for which Vladislav Kolyachonok and Evgeniy Oksentyuk played last season. In a couple of months, the defender should fly overseas, if everything goes well with the sanitary and epidemiological situation.

– Will Flint score a goal? I hope so.Oksentyuk has already done this – they are familiar. Zhenya did it very beautifully – better than both Svechnikov and me.

Hey, @FlintFirebirds!

By the way, for Kuzmin this puck became the first in the “A” extraleague. The beginning turned out to be very beautiful.
