 All coaches should not advance a player to the next level with improper mechanics concerning all aspects of stick work. Any flaws in the mechanical motion of shooting, catching, scooping, or throwing may have a negative impact on their play and inhibit the players’ success. These mechanical deficiencies become more problematic as the player progresses to the high school and collegiate levels.
The Utah Lacrosse Association has created a handy Coaches Work Guide to make sure players adhere to these fundamentals during practice and games. This guide covers areas such as: - Stick Size
- Holding the Stick
- Box Area
- Throwing
- Catching
- Scooping
- ... and more

Timing may be everything for a comedian's success, however for lacrosse officials, positioning is the critical component if you want to avoid being laughed off the field of play... In this issue of “60 Seconds on Lacrosse Officiating,” we will examine making calls on plays in the crease.
The best way for an official to ensure he is getting the lion-share of the calls in the crease correct is to be in the proper position.
Crease violations or goals should not be signaled from outside the box or even the box line. The lead official should be positioned approximately halfway between the box line and the crease. Once properly positioned, the official should rotate with the play; moving in and out, depending on where the ball is.
Even when working as the trail, the official must keep in mind that his main priority is the goal/crease at the other end of the field. Anticipating when the ball is going to transition back down to that end is key achieving perfect positioning.
