Confident Coach's Guide to Teaching Lacrosse From Basic Fundamentals To Advanced Player Skills And Team Strategies

Lacrosse players and coaches alike will benefit from this comprehensive guide that covers stick-and-ball handling techniques, field tactics, and squad and position strategies. Lifelong lacrosse player and coach Daniel Morris, along with noted author Michael Morris, distil the essence of this exciting, fast-paced game into one compact volume, teaching everything the beginning and intermediate coach needs to know about the rules, equipment, skills, and drills of this venerable game. Unlike other books on lacrosse, this guide reflects recent important rule changes, as well as the latest techniques in offence and defence, stick-handling, and advances in equipment that have transformed the game as it is played today. This is a book that will find a place on every coach and player's shelf.

DANIEL MORRIS played defense and was president and captain of the lacrosse team at Boston University, where he earned a degree in journalism in 1997. He went on to coach the B.U. team for the next six seasons as assistant and then head coach, guiding them to a national ranking in the U.S. Lacrosse Men's Division Intercollegiate Associates. Currently, he coaches defense at Boston College and serves as the commissioner and director of the Pioneer Collegiate Lacrosse League.

MICHAEL MORRIS, his father, is a well-known journalist and editor. He lives in Ossining, New York.
