I hear what your saying, but the truth is most PAL coaches are dads of kids on the team. They have jobs and other kids like you, they are busy like you. They don't get paid and volunteer several hours a week. Instead of insulting them , coach yourself. Put up or shut up. I've coached PAL for my daughter and my son. We have a warm up catch for 10 minutes at practice ,that's it. After that its team lacrosse. I csnt spend my 90 min, twice a week teaching kids how to catch and throw. That in a large part has to be done at home. I tell my kids go 15 minutes a few days a week Some parents actually have a catch, some tell their kids to hit the rebounder, something. Some parents ignore me ,throw stick In closet to next practice, and when season is over, stick is in closet for several months. These are the kids that usually don't improve.
Amen. And by-the-way, I never played a day of lacrosse in my life, yet my kid catches and throws like a champ since 1st, plays travel etc etc. In fact, I never played much sports at all - didn't like them at the time. So I learned the game with my kids because they enjoy it. Its fun. We have fun. Oh yeah, and I coach too. All it takes is giving a [lacrosse] enough to put forth some effort and freaking magic can happen.
