Thank you for coaching and making the commitment to EAA Lacrosse. From practice planning to running drills to games, it's a significant invesment of time. The lessons your players learn -- about the fundamentals of the sport and, more importantly, about sportsmanship and life -- are important and lasting.

This page contains several resources to help you, whether you're a lacrosse rookie or a seasoned vet.

Many of the drills, plans and tips come from U.S. Lacrosse, the governing body for field lacrosse, and are used with permission. Though designed for the outdoor game, most can be easily adapted for box lacrosse as well.

Have a favorite drill that's not covered here? E-mail a description, link or diagram and we'll include it on this site
