lacrosse ncaa championship

Seems like every opportunity I get to hear Coach Seaman from Towson talk, or in this case, on our podcast I come away with pages of notes and great ideas.

Most of the top college coaches we interview seem to spend time almost every day in some type of “four on four” (4V4) lacrosse drill. The reason this format is so effective is it incorporates so many aspects of the game, while teaching space and balance to the players as well.

Players have space to see the field, and space to dodge. On the defensive side, the first and second slides are potentially more obvious, and with fewer players on the field even more critical. And for those of us without a huge coaching staff it allows us to run eight players plus a goalie, or nine total in each rotation. This keeps practice moving, the players engaged and fun.

I have always run the 4V4 drills one of two ways. First just a basic four corner beginning formation, with an offensive and defensive player in each corner, or as a second variation, running four offensive players in from the side or up top, while running in four defensive players from the opposite side or from behind the goal. After interviewing Coach Seaman, I now understand why he is a famous DI Coach and me, well just a club coach.

One of the recurring themes we hear from college coaches about their practices is that it is critical to emulate game situations, and to try and incorporate as many skills into each drill, rather than practice each skill individually. These variations on a 4V4 definitely meet the criteria.

In the first variation, the offense starts with a single middie up top, outside the corner of the Box, two offensive players in the crease, and a player behind. OK, so it is already starting to sound more game realistic. And defensively, they are covered, man-to-man, by four defenders, utilizing two poles and two shorties on defense.

The ball goes to the middie up top. This is the second place where Coach Seaman is smarter than me. The middie cannot simply pass off to another offensive player, the middie must dodge and drive to initiate the drill. Now we have a 1V1 drill with a dodge, and one on one defense, leading into a 4V4 drill. Pretty cool.

Now the play runs live for 20-30 seconds or so, or to a shot. If the ball goes on the ground, we immediate clear in transition past the midfield line. The second phase of the drill continues with the ball starting behind this time, with the same rules…. The player must initiate the action with a one on one dodge, slides from the crease and so on.

Then, eight new players take the field (Four on offense, four on defense w 2 poles and two shorties) and the two phases of the drill are repeated.

A second variation of the drill is very similar, only this time, the play begins with two offensive middies up top outside of the restraining line, one offensive player behind at ‘X’ and one offensive player in the crease.

Again the Middie gets the ball and must initiate the action with a one on one dodge, presumably forcing the defense to slide. The same players stay on the field, and the second time around, the ball starts up top with the other Middie initiating the action.

These drills meet all of our criteria. They are fast paced and moving. They emulate game situations in a number of ways. And they are a blast for the kids to run!

Excerpt: The Brown Bears is a name shared by all sports teams at Brown University, a university located in Providence, Rhode Island in the United States. The Bears are part of the Ivy League conference. Brown’s mascot is Bruno. Both the men’s and women’s teams share the name, competing in 37 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I sports. In football, the Bears, along with all other the Ivy League teams, compete in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Brown’s first mascot was a burro, first introduced in 1902 in a game against Harvard. The burro mascot was not retained after it seemed frightened by the noise of the game, and due to the laughter it provoked. The University eventually settled on the bear after the head of a brown bear was placed at an archway above the student union in 1904. In 1905 The Bears introduced Helen, the university’s first live bear mascot, at a game against Dartmouth. Bruno, Brown’s current mascot, was introduced in 1921, originally also as a live bear. A number of bears represented Bruno over the years, later being represented by a person in costume by the late 60′s. The Bears participate in 37 NCAA sports, ranking them third among all Division I institutions for number of sports offered. The Bears first fielded a football team in 1878, playing Amherst College in their inaugural game. In addition to football, the Bears participate in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s crew, men’s and women’s cross country, equestrian, fencing, field hockey, men’s and women’s golf, gymnastics, men’s and women’s ice hockey, men’s and women’s la… More:

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Lincoln Financial Field, familiarly known as “The Linc”, is the home stadium of the National Football League’s Philadelphia Eagles. It has a seating capacity of 68,532. It is located in South Philadelphia on Pattison Avenue between 11th and 10th Streets, also aside I-95 as part of the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. The Stadium opened on August 3, 2003 after 2 years of construction beginning in May 7, 2001 and replaced the old Veterans Stadium. While its total capacity barely changed, the new stadium contained double the amount of luxury and wheelchair-accessible seats, along with the newer, more modern services. Like the Vet, Lincoln Financial Field had a jail inside the stadium, that contained four cells. However, this jail was done away within two years as the level of unruly behavior had dropped considerably from the worst days of the Vet. The Linc also plays host to several soccer games each year, and in the past two years it has played host to the NCAA lacrosse national championship.

Slices of Orange: Great Games and Performers in Syracuse University Sports History


$7.03


From the last-second heroics of Wilmeth Sidat-Singh in Archbold Stadium to the last-second heroics of Donovan McNabb in the Carrier Dome more than a half century later, this book is a chronicle of the rich tradition of Syracuse University sports.There are games that stand the test of time performances that years, even decades later bring a smile or in some cases a grimace, to a fan’s face. They are indelible moments that, when strung together, give you a sense of a college’s history. In Slices of Orange, Sal Maiorana and Scott Pitoniak recapture the heroics of running back Jim Brown’s 43-point performance against Colgate at old Archbold Stadium; the pain of Keith Smart’s jumper that denied Syracuse a national title in 1987; and the joy of forward Carmelo Anthony’s levitation act in the 2003 NCAA basketball championship game. They tell of the fierce SU-Georgetown basketball rivalry and John Thompson’s incendiary comments that ignited it and how the Gait brothers, Paul and Gary, revolutionized the game of lacrosse and laid the foundation for a college sports dynasty. About the Authors:Sal Maiorana is a regular contributor to numerous magazines and is the author of ten other books, including a two-volume history of the Buffalo Bills. He has also won numerous New York State Publishers Association citations for his work with the Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester, New York. Scott Pitoniak has spent the past quarter-century as an award-winning sports columnist for the Democrat and Chronicle. He has been named one of the top ten sports columnists in the United States by the Associated Press Sports Editors.
