Overview

Girls High School Varsity Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing and most rewarding team sports today. The author, Dick Shriver, a lifelong accomplished player himself (twice named honorable mention All-American at Cornell University), shares his passion for coaching and love for the sport. Having coached men's and boys' lacrosse, he became a coach of women's (three years as head coach at the US Coast Guard Academy) and girls' lacrosse quite by accident. When Shriver was asked to be the head coach of the girls' team at Old Saybrook (CT) High School, he developed an approach and philosophy that supported his teams in one undefeated season and two league championships in three consecutive years. In this book, he shares what he learned in twenty years as a player and another twenty years as a coach. So You Want To Coach Girls' Lacrosse is written for coaches of the many small-to-medium lacrosse programs, those schools that work hard to field a team of twelve players who can catch, pass, and defend under competitive pressure. Coach Shriver writes about his experiences with basic skills training, youth programs, conditioning, injuries, communications with parents and school administration, what it means to win at all costs, practice plans, and how to bring out the best in your team.
