Possibly conditioning that the girls don't take seriously because everyone is committed.

Option 2 - Go in the backyard or local lacrosse field. Get in 50-100 dodges and shots in 30 minutes. Spend 10 minutes at the wall and get 200 touches. Your daughter just got conditioning done while getting the touches a month of club practice provides. Now go grab a sandwich with your daughter and spend 2 hours talking! Best day a parent can ask for.

This is why the top players don't depend on clubs to make them top players. It's an obvious statement, but the secret that parent new to sports are not aware of.

If your club drills result in just 15 touches total your club is doing it all wrong.

If your club isn't bringing new drills to the table your club is doing it wrong.

If you think wall ball is a replacement for actual work with partners you're doing it wring.
