WELCOME, COACH!
A snapshot of what we do!
The mission of WLD is to provide lacrosse drills, resources and trainings for coaches which are all adaptable to the level of your coaching ability and the level of your lacrosse team.
We sort all our learning material into Pathways based on age and skill levels: We cover College, High School and Club, 7th & 8th Grade, 5th & 6th Grade, and the Littles (under 4th grade).
Overview: We’ve created and curated an accessible, online collection of lacrosse drills, practice plans, coaching tools, and video tutorials from expert coaches like Emily Boissonneault, Bill Olin, and Kirstin Kimmel. All resources are tailored to help you and your players progress.
Our Community: With our Circle Up community, you won’t be learning alone! Join live trainings, networking events and connect with other coaches as you build your knowledge. All of our learning material is in our community to maximize collaboration.
DISCOVER YOUR PATHWAY
What’s included?
Our online Pathways include lacrosse drills, practice plans, strategy, coaching tools & resources, (live) video tutorials from high level coaches & our online community.
We add many new items to the Pathways each month, so the collection is always growing.
Drills: Every drill has a video, a digital play and a printable PDF. We want you to grow your drill book and learn the nuances of each drill through the videos.
Live Events: Join our Pop Ups and Guest Trainer events, Networking groups to learn deeper. At least once a month, we have a live training in Circle Up from a qualified high-level coach and you have access to our past trainings from coaches including Janine Tucker, Avery Blackmon, Amy Altig and many more.
Strategy: This space takes a dive into coach's playbooks as well as other strategic concepts.
Skills: This brand new space showcases how to teach skills as basic as GBs and as advanced as twizlers, depending on your pathway!
…plus Coaching Tools, Practice Plans, Agility & Fitness…
Overall, the Pathways are an accessible, simple way to help coaches of all levels - it doesn’t matter how new or seasoned you are in the game, there is always something to learn.
