Time	Drill
10 Min	Parent Meeting Information Please regularly update your availability on the shutterfly calendar We play like we practice, kids should come with a good attitude and ready to give 100% Kids need to be dressed and ready by the start of practice Goal is to get kids knowing the concepts as second nature so they can run the concepts themselves We need a positive sideline, reinforce to your child that talking negative to teammates accomplishes nothing Parents should enforce that lacrosse is a team sport. Cheer kids on when they make ground balls, good passes, get assists. Teamwork and taking the right shot at the right time are way more important then scoring Parents should not criticize their kids from the sideline. It gets in their heads and will make them perform worse Encourage your kid to find the role they excel at, is it ground balls, communication, sliding, passing, setting picks, etc Ground balls and possessions are the single most important thing a kid can excel at At all times parents should show respect to the refs and players If you are upset about something practice the 24 hour rule before talking to the person you are upset with Individualism and selfishness can kill a teams unity - Dudeism: A threat to teamwork Playing time will be as close to equal as we can make it Goalie will obviously play more time, its the most important position Middies will play close to 1/3 of the game, its the lifeblood position of our team Attack we need strong finishers and kids that will draw 2 and dump More than 7 goals is our key to winning, stress the importance of possessions, winning GB's, and unselfish play
