We talk a lot about becoming a better lacrosse player and reaching your full potential. Since we’re talking about an athletic endeavor, most of the work that’s necessary to have success on the field is physical.

There aren’t many more fulfilling activities for adults than to coach youth sports. It’s a way to stay involved in a sport they love (or want to get more involved in) and it’s an opportunity to make a positive impact on the next generation. Sports can often be used as a metaphor for life, so while your job is to help young athletes on the field, court, or ice, you’re also helping shape their personality for every-day life.

With that in mind, here are four tips all lacrosse coaches should keep in mind when hitting the field with their squad.

At the end of the day, nothing is more important than being safe while on the field, so here are five rules (courtesy of US Lacrosse) to keep in mind for girls diving into the sport [Read More>]

There are plenty of things we cover during GameBreaker Lacrosse Camps each summer, with one of them being how to execute successful fast breaks down the field. This is important because it combines so many different parts of the game into one sequence: teamwork, communication, stick skills, and vision.

One of the things that makes lacrosse such a great sport is the fact that it’s a very fast-moving game. Certain plays and situations on the lax field can take shape at the drop of a hat, so players need to be alert at all times. Since this athletic endeavor is so fast-moving, that means players don’t have much time to think.

With this in mind, it’s crucial for lax players to let things come naturally and to trust their instincts in a number of instances. Building trust – whether it’s with your teammates or yourself – isn’t always something that young athletes are [Read More>]

Just as playing lacrosse helps shapes your personality throughout the years, the same can be said about which position you take on the actual field.

Since each position needs a player to function differently to be successful, it takes people with a certain personality to carry out the job. Our GameBreaker Lacrosse Camps take that into consideration with our personalized approach to instruction for each camper we come into contact with.

What exactly does your position on the lax field say about you, though? Here’s what it means to be a goalie, defender, midfielder, and attacker.
