Commitment to Development: Coaching staff should prioritize the development of players' skills, knowledge, and understanding of the game. This includes technical, tactical, and mental aspects of lacrosse.
Enjoyment of the Game: Creating a fun and engaging environment is essential for player retention and long-term participation. Coaches should focus on making practices and games enjoyable for all players.
Winning as a Secondary Goal: While winning can be motivating, it should not be the primary objective. The emphasis should be on player development and creating a positive experience.
By adhering to these principles, coaching staff can contribute to the overall growth and success of the lacrosse program.
