Preparing for the Future (Release 4.0)

Ryan and I have been hard at work defining what Lacrosse Lab will become thanks to your feedback. This release features some major UX enhancements, with a focus on your mobile experience. Here's a quick look at what you will now see as a Team Coach:

Consolidated Team Playbook/My Playbook View

Consolidated Team/Personal Playbook

We've decided to simplify your experience with managing your playbook. Keep all of your work-in-progress plays in your personal playbook. When you're ready to share them with your team, you can share them to your Team Playbook.

Simpler Add/Share Play Experience

When you're ready to share your play with your team, you will now find that command under our new + action button. Expect a few new features to make their way into this slot. For now, we'll keep those as a secret!

As always, we greatly appreciate your feedback and support. We're very excited for some of these updates and some of the features that this will enable us to deploy to you in the very near future. For now, I encourage you to get in and check these out!

New Release: Team Schedules

Over the last year, we've built out the most complete lacrosse play designer available on the internet. We've helped teams across the country roll out their new plays so that their players can come to practice to apply their skills and knowledge immediately, rather than standing around and dry-running new plays. We've accomplished this while putting a lot of the team management and administration directly on the coach.

Now, we want to help you deliver your lacrosse play curriculum through your team's Schedule. Here's what you can expect from this new feature:

Create and Manage Game & Practice Events
The Schedule allows coaches and team administrators the ability to upload their game and practice schedules. In addition to the date, time and location of their lacrosse games and practices, coaches can also call out key objectives for that particular event.

Share Public Plays with Free Accounts

Want to see a trick?

We're excited to announce that plays can now be shared and even embedded (like above) with your free Lacrosse Lab account. Sharing can be done by selecting the play options drop-down in "My Playbook." Select SHARE PLAY and navigate to the PUBLIC tab.

For now, you can share directly to Facebook and Twitter. You can also copy a direct link to share anywhere that you please!

For those of you that might be a little more "techy," you can also embed our play viewer on your site, just like I've shown above.

As always, let us know what you think and start SHARING!

There are three guidelines to keep in mind while implementing a Two-Man game offense:
Create space in the dodge setup.Make the appropriate read in the Two-Man game.Maintain good backside spacing and off-ball movement. Setting Up the Two-Man The offense can set up through any formation that you can create pairs. You're most likely to see the Two-Man created out of 1-4-1, Deuces (2-2-2) and as has become very popular recently, the 3-1-2. We are more used to seeing this offense run through an invert (bring middies behind), but it can really be initiated from anywhere on the field.
In the Two-Man game, you will have, as you can probably guess, two players isolated. One will be our primary ball carrier and the other will be the picker.
