[Lax101]

Spent two years coaching U13 girls, now U13 boys. Have also worked with some ages around that too.

[Dadabhoy_Muzzi]

13&14 year olds. I was an assistant coach box in Ontario. I will probably coach the same level this comming year or lower. Depends on where the league puts me.

[faacjb]

U15 boys travel team, 7 & 8th grade boys rec league team, and an 8 & 9th grade boys team. Also coached 7 & 8th grade girls at a couple of games when their regular coach
couldn't make it.

[Laxtreme]

Just finished coaching a 1992 & 1993 box lacrosse rep team in Clarington Ontario. I will be coaching a 1993 & 1994 field team this fall and hope to bring the team to a few 7 on 7 tournaments in New York State. Any suggestions on tournaments would be appreciated.

[Murray#72]

kids from 7-14, at brooklands in england. They step out of line and BAM!.....unless they call me too many nasty names in that case i need to go gather myself, kids today are brutal!!!

[Canadian Lax]

seems like alot of you have coached both biys and girls.....which gender do you think is "easier" to coach?? or are players just players??

I find the first few practices with an "allstar" team to be the toughest. It's like hearding cats. Everyone is trying to show off. It takes a while to get them to play like a team instead of a group of free agents.

Several Canadian clubs go the the Ithaca TurkeyShoot in November and there is also the Orangeville tournament in September a little closer to home.

As far as coaching goes, this year I coach novice box rep and houseleague (9-10yr olds) in Nepean (the Knights in KnightsLaxDad) and U9-U11 field for the Ottawa Nemesis.

[the next 'one']

my old coach from 8th grade is now coaching his son's 6th grade team, so two of my friends and i go to every one of their practices and help out. kind of like assistant coaches.

[jsweetslax]

hey im from longisland and im 17 and i coach an upcoming youth league this summer with kids run from ages 8-11 and everything went find but how would you keep there attention for the hole 2and half hour just acking beause the b.y.a is making teams for these furture players

[berger1227]

keep them involved as much as possible...scrimages are always fun

...not that i know i dont coach...

[insane-laxer]

i coach our youth team. most of the kids are from 9 to 14....... teamname: Young Bucks Lacrosse Düsseldorf, germany

[TheKOB]

In terms of actual age, 18-22 (USLIA/USL-MDIA/MCLA college club) although we've had a few guys that were in the military for a few years that are just now going to college and looking to play, they're from 27 to 28 (which is weird because I'm 26).

[Pagan30]

Defensive Coach- D2 University in NY

[afrolaxman]

i coached a D2 high school (boys) in TX for almost 8 years, some summer leagues (MS thru HS), and several different clinics for all ages, boys and girls. I don't know the womens' game that well, so mostly I only offer up basics, like awareness, body movement, and general hustle and bustle. too answer Canadian Lax's question about girls or boys, it is the eager kids that are easier to teach. teh mechanics and theories are easy, but getting kids to learn to play and develop together is what I find the be the toughest bit about coaching.

[faceofflax15]

7th and 8th Grade team Assistant Coach.

[Jarzombek]

I run the Glendale Lacrosse League in Glendale AZ. We have three age groups, 8-11, 12-14 and 15 to 17. Teaching them in practice and watching them execute during the games is just an awesome experience.
