Joined at practice by Catalina Foothills squad. Was a blast for our 8th graders!

Ran favorite drill last night, “3v2 Scramble”. In 5 minutes 1 player got 60 touches on offense (we tracked). #reps #getbetter #titans #azlax

Boden, Cameron, Logan, Connor and Matthew represent well for Outlaws Box Teams in LV. #arizonaoutlaws #usboxla #azlax

Practices dominated by full field scrimmages, or 6 v 6 half field are examples of programs mired in the past. Small sided games, w/smaller goals = reps, pressure, poise, rapid decisionmaking, precise shooting.

This seems to be the strength of playing with friends, an unspoken, not fully understood, shared failure strategy. Learning belongs to the group. The tighter the group, the better the growth. So should we be teaching... Skills? Or the ability to make real social connections?

Great day yesterday. U10’s win both, assists for almost every goal. U12’s win both and U14 wins only game. Thanks to Ahwatukee for traveling down. #rememberthetitans #azlax

Beginning to measure, record, and publish. Titans getting faster! Thanks to Michael Boyle and Jamie Munro JM3_Coach for inspiration! #azlax

Finish every Thursday practice with pick up games. Boys love it, creating, and getting after it. Coaches only job is to spectate and pelt the boys with tennis balls from sidelines! Joy of the People JM3_Coach #freeplay #purejoyofthegame #azlax

So applicable to lacrosse. Our dominate players are regularly met with shouts of “pass the ball”. Most often from opposing team’s parents! Let the boys create! gameplaylearn.net/why-messi-and-…

Continuing our sprint/speed training. Measure, record, publish, results! #titans #azlax #getfaster

GPL GAME PLAY LEARN When we see something magical, sometimes we ask ‘how do we coach that?’ When perhaps the question should be ‘how did they learn to do that?’ But this will take us away from the coach as the person with all the answers to the individual & how they experience the game.

We absolutely try to do our part.

Congrats to Connor Storie selected to UBOXLA National Team West. 2nd year reppin 520 & 🇺🇸! #azoutlawslacrosse #westcoaststarz #azlax

Speed lacrosse dominated practice this week. Fun, unstructured, Change of pace. Maybe high sticking call here👇👀#reps #freeplay #speedlacrosse #azlax

On a wet, rainy night, on field with standing water, in a game that would normally have been weather-cancelled, watched final game of season for CFHS and Brophy Lacrosse.Surreal, but wonderful. Both sides played like it was State Championship. Joyous to see.

Walked outside and boys playing Wall-Ball/Stickball hybrid. Invented game and rules. Boredom breeds creativity. Touche Joy of the People #freeplay

Boys racing Goat around the house. Goat wins by a whisker. But looks like he cheated!

Similar to your drift dodges? Jamie Munro

A lot of people ask us what we do in the box, here’s a little taste. #GTD x #GoHPU
