The Broward Pirates Summer Session

The Summer Session has been organized as a response to the overwhelming number of current Pirates that wanted to continue playing through the summer. Since the session is driven by kids that just want to play more lacrosse we have structured the session to be play heavy.

The sessions will typically start as any normal practice with a stretch a warm up, and then immediately jump into drills. The drills will vary from day to day, and will be enhanced by the participation of coaches picked specifically for proficiency in either offensive or deffensive play, and most importantly the ability to present the drill concepts and how they apply in a game setting in a clear yet still fun way. Once the group has warmed up to the drill they will break up into teams for full field scrimmages where they will have a chance to incorporate the drills they have just run.

Scrimmage and play time will be the majority of the practice, but it will be structured. Scrimmages will be instructive scrimmage where not only will whistles be blown for rules violations, but whistles will also be used to freeze play and to point out strategies and options that have justed presented that very moment. The scrimmages will be run as if they were actual games with penalties and substitutions. This type of scrimmage will help develop a greater awareness in the player, more fluidity between players and help teach the more intricate strategies of the game of lacrosse. Like any sport or endeavor drilling and repetition will make you mechanically proficient but actual game time will breed the confidence and game knowledge that leads to excellence.

The Broward Pirates Lacrosse Summer Session is open to any U15 or U19 player in the county, but don't wait too long to register because we have purposefully limited space to ensure a lot of scrimmage time.

We are striving for excellence, and we are going to make sure we have a lot of fun on our journey. Our Summer Session is meant to grow love for the game by making it fun as it should be.

Thanks for your interest! See you on the field this summer.
Coach Bosch
