Hilliard Youth Lacrosse Association Newsletter
Game Summary:
Tuscarora
This week practice went pretty well. We had to cancel
practice on Tuesday but we got in a good practice on
Thursday. We spent a good amount of time in practice this
week focusing on ground balls and boxing out. Today we
played a very good team from Upper Arlington today and I
think we showed them that Hilliard Lacrosse means serious business. Passing and catching today was much improved from last week’s game against Delaware. We were
doing a much better job making passes to clear the ball
from the defensive end of the field and quickly transition to
attack.
However, today we got beat on ground balls, plain and simple. The other team was doing a much better job at boxing us out
and getting low on ground balls. Too often I would see our guys overrunning ground balls because they were not getting low
enough and scooping through the ball so this coming week we are going to continue to work on ground ball possession.
Overall they boys made a really good effort today. I was really proud of the way they were vocalizing while on the field and
communicating with each other. If we can get a little better on the ground balls we are going to be unstoppable!
