suggestions for box coaching progrm

[Garry Dobbie]

my home town is putting together a coaches manual from pre-myte to Intermediate, any drill progression for skills or offence/defense and goaltender, suggested sites for me to visit, any help would be appreciated, thank you and a merry xmas/

should put it in the coaches forum..... you will get many suggestions and drills from people there. www.ontariolacrosse.com should have some drill database

what are you talking about, I've been involved for 43 yrs and there are morons in every sport, it's our responsibility as teachers of the game to teach the game, there is nothing like watching fine defense, spectacular goaltending and a finely tuned offense whether it's my team or my opponent

Hey Garry!

Try the Clarington Minor Coaches & Trainers links for some of the stuff I have compiled so far:

Clarington Minor Coaches & Trainers (http://www.claringtonlacrosse.ca/phpnuke/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=viewlink&cid=11)

I have also included links to Hinksons books on Amazon & Chapters too. Still waiting for his O-D book to come out. I highly recommend Hinkson's books.

OLA has a drill book for both boxla & field. When I ordered it, I got an incompete photocopy so be careful there. Most of those drills are already on-line thanks to the fine folks with Tommy minors. That link is also in the above list.

There is a comprehensive drill book being offered on eBay. Probably similar to the above. They seem to offer it regularly enough.

If you find any really good links please let me know and I can add them to the CMLA list.

Then there is the CLA pre-level I coaching doc (http://www.claringtonlacrosse.ca/coaches/prelevel1.pdf) for house league & first time coaches.

I am not sure if you can still order the old tech 1 & 2 manuals from the OLA, but they are worth it if you can get your hands on them. The new NCCP courses have different manuals now and I personally like the older manuals better. You don't have to have taken the course to get the manuals.
