I like what I see so far. Hopefully will be as good at tomorrows tryout.

Hagans is a good coach but having to be very instructive at a tryout is not exactly a sign of good talent. You’d like to think a team which intends to be at an A or AA level would have enough talent showing up which understands lacrosse. Theyre not teaching game plays at tryouts so what do they need to be instructing on? Drills?


Thats the most ridiculous statement I ever heard.
Its extremely important to be instructive at practices.
These are kids going into 5th grade. No matter what level they are at, they have a lot to learn. And coaches need to know how well players take their instruction and act on it.
Now I think I really meant the coaches were very interactive with the kids, but instruction is defenitely an important facet on any team at this age level, tryout or not.
