Good general resource, Sep 18 2009

This review is from: Coaching Lacrosse For Dummies (Paperback)
It is a good general resource for people who know a little something about lacrosse and need some ideas on how to coach kids to play it.It might not be as useful in those parts of the country where lacrosse is growing and the coaches are not that experienced. For example, there aren't really good pictures/explanations of how to cradle, pass, shoot, etc.

Good for beginners, Jun 28 2011

This review is from: Coaching Lacrosse For Dummies (Paperback)
This book is good if you want to learn both boy's and girl's lacrosse. I already knew men's lacrosse so it was helpful to use it to compare to women's lacrosse. Good for a beginner or someone familiar with the sport
