YXD-03869A: with Jason Breyo,
Lambert (GA) High School Assistant Lacrosse Coach,

Whether you're a new coach who's also new to lacrosse or a more experienced youth coach looking to fine tune your lacrosse practices, "How to Run a Youth Lacrosse Practice" will provide the tools you need to run a great practice.

You will learn what it takes to run a productive practice and get detailed instruction on each skill your players need to play lacrosse. This video includes skills and drills for U9 and U11 athletes.

This DVD covers four major skill areas for lacrosse players: passing, catching, cradling and shooting.

The U9 practice is built around teaching and drilling these important skills. You'll get six basic fundamental building drills to teach these skills and relay drills to end your practices in a fun, but competitive way.

The U11 practice utilizes the same skills and drills as the U9 practice with a few additional components. They add a goalie and work on 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 offensive and defensive work, progressing into a 4-on-4 setting that teaches both the offensive and defensive base principles.

The video includes a motion drill segment, that teaches the players how to move without the ball and react to pressure. A 6-on-6 team drill is included to work on the basic man offense and man defense principles acquired from all other drills.

Also included is a basic goalie workout and drills to prepare for face offs.

This DVD will give inexperienced coaches and parents a solid foundation for developing young lacrosse players.

Lambert (GA) High School Assistant Lacrosse Coach,

Build a foundation for successful defensive play!

Jason Breyo shares his blueprint for teaching defensive skills and drills to U13 - U15 lacrosse players. Using 12 and 13-year-old athletes as demonstrators, Breyo divides the DVD into four areas: Stick work, agility (footwork), position play and transition defense.

Stick Work
Get eight drills for passing and catching, fielding ground balls, dodging, over-the shoulder-catching and clearing the ball. These drills will help your athletes improve their accuracy on long passes, become proficient throwing a pass with either hand, learn to use either hand on a split dodge and a roll dodge, and techniques that will benefit your clearing game. Drills are demonstrated using long sticks.

Agility (Footwork)
Pick up agility drills for defensive players focusing on proper hand placement, stick position and footwork. These drills progress from a 5-yard side-to-side movement drill, to a 3-cone triangle drill working on the drop step, to a ladder agility drill that focuses on changing direction.

Position Play
Get a progression of 1-on-1 drills to teach your athletes key defensive concepts. Starting without sticks, Breyo's drills focus on top-side defense, forcing the attacker inside and keeping the hands in front with a poke check. The progression morphs into a 2-on-2 series that teaches the Ball-Me-Man concept.

Transition Defense
Learn team defense concepts with a look at transition defense from a 2-on-1 situation to a 3-on-2 fast break to train your players to defend odd number situations.

This is a very useful teaching DVD for inexperienced coach or parent looking to help improve the youth lacrosse player and develop the necessary skills to play solid defense.

YXD-04468: with Kenneth "Bear" Davis, Ohio Machine (MLL) Head Coach;
former Archbishop (MD) Spalding Head Boys Lacrosse Coach; former Robert Morris Head Coach, led the nation in scoring in back-to-back seasons (2010-11); former assistant coach for the Czech Republic Men's National Lacrosse Team, where he helped coach the team in the 2002 Prague Cup as well as the 2002 ILF World Games in Australia

Ken "Bear" Davis has coached at the youth, high school and NCAA Division I levels and has also led a professional team. Using whiteboard diagrams and on-field demonstrations, Coach Davis teaches lacrosse fundamentals by utilizing concepts that may be familiar to young players from their experiences with other sports, playground activities and party games. These fun yet competitive drills focus on:

  • ground balls
  • dodging
  • stick skills
  • basic offensive "Give and Go"
  • defensive fundamentals

This video is intended to teach the fundamentals of lacrosse to beginning and less experienced players. Coach Davis utilizes drills that are commonly used in other sports, and then applies the characteristics of those drills to lacrosse in a creative way that will keep young players interested as they develop their fundamental skills.

The basics of lacrosse are covered using exercises that players will have fun performing. Drills can be customized to fit the specific and ever-changing needs of athletes. Coach Davis' methodology includes learning important concepts by teaching fun and memorable "catch phrases." Key terms are introduced to help players remember proper skill execution. For example, the catch phrase "keep your nose behind your toes" describes proper positioning for defense. One of the ground ball catch phrase is "two butts down." Simple and fun phrases like these make it easier for beginning players to remember the finer details of the skills they are working to develop.

Individual defensive dodging and other fundamental lacrosse skills are covered in the 11 drills included in this video. There are multiple drills as well as games that can be implemented to develop fundamental lacrosse skills.

Many of the activities have been designed to include goalies; the video also features an exciting drill especially for athletes who play in this key position.

This video is a fantastic resource that will help even experienced coaches build a comprehensive practice program guaranteed to keep younger players engaged and highly motivated. Players will have fun and grow with each practice.

In this instructional video especially for beginning players and coaches, Bear Davis covers the basics of lacrosse skills. His presentation is particularly useful for player, coaches and parents with little or no previous lacrosse experience.

Using simple cues, Coach Davis shares an easy, reproducible way to teach lacrosse basics. He demonstrates:

  • shooting and stick handling mechanics
  • basic catching and dodging techniques
  • correct face-off technique

All of the instruction is broken down into its most basic components. For example, by isolating the individual components of shooting, Davis shows an almost mistake-proof method for teaching shooters the upper body mechanics of the shooting/passing move like isolating the mechanics for the upper hand and lower hand in passing or shooting the ball both lefty and righty. This easy-to-follow approach carries throughout the video; suggestions for increasing the challenge of the drill as players get more skilled are also included.

Coach Davis' detailed explanation and constant attention to detail ensures that both player and coach will benefit greatly from this instructional DVD.
