New Release: Roster Management Overhaul



We're starting 2020 off with a bang and pushing a pretty big release! We hope to simplify your communication with your team and have enhanced our roster capabilities. In our new release, you can now:

1. Assign multiple contacts to a single player. Now, when parents login on behalf of their children, multiple accounts can be associated with a single roster slot. This will keep your roster and depth chart cleaner!

2. Send Invitation Reminders. In addition to tracking which players or parents have registered for Lacrosse Lab, you can now simply send reminder emails to any contacts stored in your roster. Just select INVITE PLAYERS on the roster screen to start the invitation process.



3. Use Roster as a contact list. With all of your player and parents' contacts stored in the Roster list, you can trigger emails directly from Lacrosse Lab. When you want to send an email to your whole roster, select EMAIL TEAM. If you only want to email the contacts associated with a single player, select the email button associated with the intended player. Lacrosse Lab will open your device's native email application and prefill the distribution list.

We hope this release makes life much easier for all of our coaches when managing your roster. We believe that this release will be foundational to a few other features that we hope to roll out in the near future.

Have a Happy New Year!
-Eric

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! -Eric

Lacrosse Basics: Offense Formations

Hey All, Welcome back the Lacrosse Basics series. This post is going to primarily focus on the core offensive formations, when they are used and a little bit of why. 'Why' is usually a loaded question is better answered with a little more detail that I can provide in separate posts. I will likely be throwing around some terms that I used in the first post, so I'm going to link that  here . This post will focus on the most traditional offensive sets. These include a 2-3-1, 1-4-1, 2-2-2 ("Dueces"), 3-3 and a Circle. I can follow up at a later point in time to review the 3-2-1 and 3-1-2 which are becoming more common at the collegiate level. 2-3-1 When naming a formation in Baltimore, we generally look at the number of players in each row going top to bottom (just like basketball). So the 2-3-1 has 2 players in a row closest to midfield, 3 players across in the middle and 1 player at 'X'. For whatever reason, you'll find NY teams do the

Effort Counts Twice

I do my best to read a little bit every morning. My reading interests are generally tied to psychology, sociology and economics; that is, different topics that influence our motivation. Having hit a bit of a lull in my regular reading, I decided to thumb through one of my favorites, Grit  by Angela Duckworth. In the book, Duckworth covers all of her research on motivation and achievement. She has boiled it down to "grit", rather than talent, is a much better indicator of future achievement. What is Grit? Grit is that sense of stick-to-it-iveness. That inner calling to dust yourself off after a failure and try again. That motivation to put in hours upon hours of practice with one specific goal in mind. In the book, Duckworth discusses the four pillars of grit (interest, practice, purpose, hope), but for now, I want to focus on her leading point: effort counts twice. Effort Counts Twice As lacrosse coaches, I think it's easy to let first impressions seal the deal
