Introductory Statement
-
At Foothills Pack, our style is about more than just winning games—it’s about playing with heart, creativity, and discipline.
-
Our unique approach ensures that every player grows as an athlete and teammate.
Fast-Paced, High-Intensity Drills
We prioritize small-sided games and rapid drills to maximize touches (catches, passes, and plays) for every player. No one stands still. Every drill is designed to involve all players, ensuring continuous improvement.
We guide players on how to use their off-hand effectively or leverage their dominant hand in creative ways to navigate challenging situations. Our philosophy encourages ingenuity and problem-solving on the field, helping players develop a high lacrosse IQ.
Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities. We coach, not reprimand, to build confidence and resilience. Every player’s success contributes to the team’s growth, creating a supportive environment where everyone thrives.
Deep Dive into Offense and Defense
Box-Style Offense
Our offense is all about speed, precision, and collaboration. Through picks, hitches, and smart ball movement, players learn to create scoring opportunities while working as a cohesive unit.
Our offensive strategy emphasizes quick decision-making, precise passing, and teamwork. Players learn to execute picks, hitches, and high-IQ plays that reflect the best aspects of modern lacrosse.
Zone-Focused Defense
Our defensive strategy emphasizes communication and positioning. By working together, players learn how to close gaps, anticipate plays, and counter opposing offenses effectively.
On defense, we implement a zone strategy that values communication, positioning, and speed. Rather than isolating players, our defense emphasizes teamwork and adaptability to shut down opposing offenses effectively.
