Arrow and Lightning Lacrosse have offered indoor lacrosse programming for over ten years. A few programs promote that they have innovated the game in Western PA, but it just isn't so. The Arrows owners played box back in the late 1980s at Tri-County in pick-up fashion. From then to now, one thing was apparent; the better players played in the offseason. Why? Multiple reasons. First, you tend to get the lacrosse-obsessed players. The ones that just want to play. They don't care where or when. They just love to have a stick in their hands! Indoor/outdoor, backyard/stadium, real stick/mini stick. They just love the game. The second reason is to develop skills. Playing develops skills. Players are forced to make quick decisions. They need to learn to be creative with their stick skills and learn to pass and play fast. These skills translate and make for better field players. The list can continue to go on, but we think you get the point.
We also get asked why we just play a game and not have a 30-minute instruction period followed by a 30-minute game. Simply we don't think 30 minutes is enough time to instruct players properly. Really, think about it. It takes five minutes for kids to get on the field and for coaches to be ready, which cuts down on instruction. Then you need to transition to playing the game which takes time. You have to get kids off the field and organized on the bench. We say for leagues, just play the game. We offer academies and clinics during the year that focus on skill development. It helps us get a better breakdown of how to be a better player. Page Properties
