Coach Mike is a highly motivated
individual and extremely knowledgeable in the sport. He's great at coaching the players in our program and is good with kids of all ages. He truly loves the sport of lacrosse.
His ability to work with kids of all skill level is a real asset in our program from beginner to advanced players.

Before his game, my son Tyler was tossing the ball around with teammates but he always hitting the ground or missing. Because I never played, I didn’t know how to help him so I was lost. Then, this nice man wearing a Weymouth Lacrosse fleece came up to me, introduced himself as Mike and asked if he could help my son. I said sure. Mike went over to Tyler and asked him to shoot the ball at the net. After 2 or 3 shots hitting the ground or missing, Mike grabbed his stick. After untying some strings he gave it back to Tyler. Tyler’s shots/passes were now on target. I asked Mike what he did, he said he “fixed the whip.” For the next 15 mins or so Mike was working on Tyler’s throwing catching & cradling. Tyler, who wanted to quit lacrosse because his stick “didn’t work” now gets excited for games. Spoiler, Mike was the opposing teams coach but that didn’t matter. He saw a player who needed help and he helped him. Thank Mike!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWhat is their goal (improve skills, make lacrosse team, etc) Once I understand the goal the first lesson will be an assessment of the students current skills. All lessons work off of a “Crawl, Walk, Run” Training Model.
Crawl: Explain & Demonstrate skill
Walk: Walk thru Crawl phase direction
Run: Demonstrate Crawl & Walk directions in real time
Equipment Preparation: Make sure students stick & equipment are within regulation & customized to their playing style.
First Lesson:
Strong Side Cradling, Passing, Catching
End of lesson, student will have “laxwork” to train on at home until next lesson.
Lesson 11+Lesson 11: Player Visualization. Lacrosse is as much of a psychological game as it is a physical one. This lesson focuses on how the student transforms not only into a player but an asset for their team.
- Positional Responsibilities
- “Seeing the Field” & “Making an Impact”
- Tricks of the Trade (Best Practices)
