Referrals: Refer a team, have a free month

Since we launched almost two years ago, we have found that word-of-mouth referrals have been our greatest source of growing our user base. Now, we want to give back to those that have been such outspoken advocates of our tool! We are pleased to announce our new referral system.

For the Referrers:

You will now see on the MANAGE TEAMS screen, a small dashboard highlighting your referral history. As your referral code is claimed by new teams, your account will be automatically credited $10. There is no cap to your referral balance. On your payment date, we will first deduct your available referral balance before charging your credit card. If your referral balance exceeds your monthly balance, enjoy your free month!

See your Referral Bonus dashboard at the bottom of the MANAGE TEAMS screen.

For the Referred:

We don't want new users to feel left out! For claiming a friend's referral code, you will also receive a free month for each team that you create. You will be immediately eligible to begin building your own referral balance. To claim a friend's referral code, enter the code in the REFERRAL CODE input field on the Subscription Summary panel. You can only claim one Referral Code at the beginning of your Lacrosse Lab subscription.

Thank you for all of your support! We are excited to be able to give back to our dedicated users!

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.

Lacrosse Basics: Man-Down Rotations

The post on Defense Basics got me all fired up to talk about man-down defense. As a former defenseman, this was easily my favorite part of the game. Lacrosse, like its cousin hockey, features power plays while the defending team serves penalties of 30 seconds, 1 minute or, in some rare circumstances, multiple minutes. Success on killing an extra-man opportunity is highly dependent on good communication, protecting the middle of the field and playing fast! Why Rotate? What's Wrong with Zone? Many teams in their early development will default to a zone scheme that is extremely vulnerable to a skilled and disciplined extra-man unit. In a pure zone defense, you will have your defense guarding areas of the field. Unfortunately, this is prone to be stretched and then overloaded. Take this simple example of defending a 2-3-1. The man-down unit can be beaten with a simple carry-reversal between Blue #5 and #6, leaving #6 with a shot on the doorstep. To adequately defend this, we require e…

Lacrosse Basics: Defense

Following up on my previous two posts which covered a Glossary and Offensive Basics, I'm going to flip over to the defensive side. Using this post, I'll cover a defense's primary objectives along with some basic slide packages. Generally, lacrosse defense mimics basketball defense pretty closely, but there are a few situations where lacrosse differs and it will heavily dictate how a team will play one-on-one defense. Shot Angle Impacts Shot Quality The biggest detraction from basketball to lacrosse defense is the concept that the best shots in lacrosse are not determined by proximity alone. In basketball, a 10-foot shot from the baseline is roughly the same quality shot as a 10-foot shot from the elbow - so the rule of, "stay between your man and the basket" holds true. In lacrosse, the angle of the shot significantly impacts its quality and defenses should use that to their advantage. Maintain "Top-Side" Position One of the primary objectives of lacross…
