US Lacrosse (http://www.uslacrosse.org) created a very good series of introductory training videos for the web. They are targeted at coaches but any parents and/or player should find them useful. The videos are listed below basically in the order a U9 player should learn the basics of the game.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_1-cradling_hi.mov - Cradling and protecting the ball.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_2-scooping_hi.mov - Scooping up ground balls.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_3-throwing_hi.mov - Proper throwing technique.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_4-catching_hi.mov - Proper catching technique.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_5-dodges_hi.mov - Basic dodges for getting around defenders.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_6-shooting_hi.mov - Proper shooting technique.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_7-feeding_hi.mov - Passing for scoring purposes.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_8-play_without_the_ball_hi.mov - What to do when your teammate has the ball.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_9-faceoffs_hi.mov - How games are started and restarted.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_10-defensive_stance_hi.mov - Proper defensive techniques.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_11-checking_hi.mov - Several types of checking - body checking is NOT alloew until U13.
- https://www.uslacrosse.org/cec_course/refs/boys/ref-b_12-goalie_play_hi.mov - Basic goalie techniques.
I know the above seems like a lot to cover, but at U9 CMAA will work gradually through all areas with the initial focus on the basics of cradling, scooping, throwing and catching.
NOTE: You will need Apple QuickTime (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/) installed on your computer to view the videos. Apple will try to get you to buy QuickTime PRO or download iTunes - neither is required..
