As lacrosse gets underway throughout the country, US Lacrosse wants to arm athletes, coaches and parents with tips to minimize injury risk and maximize their lacrosse experience in 2012.
“We’ll be working with the US Lacrosse staff to let the lacrosse community know that there are numerous resources available that could help educate all stakeholders about safety and sportsmanship issues,” said Angelo Calvello, chair of the USL men’s game safety subcommittee.
This initiative emphasizes a different safety- or sportsmanship-related theme every three months. For more on the first quarter topics of concussions, visit uslacrosse.org/safety.

All for One and One for All
Molding individuals into a team is still a formidable task for the coach. Most youth sports coaches realize winning is not everything, and yet it is the reward for performing better than the opposition and a sign of a well-prepared (coached) team. Most youth sports in our area exist for the sole purpose of educating and introducing youth to a particular sport, not winning. However when there has to be a winner and a loser teams and individuals should have the integrity to do their best to win as a team, and this is often identified as a team's "chemistry"
So what is good chemistry for a team? This simply means that most, if not all, of the individuals on the team focus as a unit on the same goal and concentrate on being there for each other. They want to do well individually, but they are more concerned with the team goals than individual achievements. It takes a very good manager and organization to get everybody on the same page. The best coaches often do it, but it also takes the cooperation of the young athletes and support of their families.
From experience, I know there is no better feeling as a coach to win a championship or to have a successfull season when all the players have contributed and have collectivley pulled for one another to reach that goal.
