Good general resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
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.
