Woodstock Boys’ LAX 2015
Coach Whitaker
On the Run Up Tempo Lacrosse
• We believe in the speed of the game and want to be the fastest
team in the state.
• Our number one tenet is that it is extremely difficult to score
goals in settle, 6 x 6 situations. We put a great deal of effort
into attacking all other situations, especially transition.
• We have to create transition and unsettled play.
•
“FIGHT AGAINST WE NEED A POSSESSION AND
INSTILL WE NEED GOALS”
Up Tempo Lacrosse
•
•
•
We push every even, fast, slow, man-down situation and
attack our opponent in space.
We do this by giving our athletes space and confidence to
attack in all situations and put pressure on our opponent to
defend our athletes in space and in non-traditional sliding
scenarios.
Playing the game this way wears down opponents and
excites our players.
Up Tempo Lacrosse
We do not need to win possession time or shots on
goal, we need to SCORE MORE GOALS TO WIN
We do not want to have a possession just to have a
possession—we want more possessions and scoring
opportunities.

learn from them, and strive to improve
We display great sportsmanship, attitude, and respect to officials,
coaches, and opposing teams at all times
After all home games, all players will assist in picking up balls, pylons,
goals, etc

GAME TIME
Playing Time
Our program is all about competition and players should
compete daily for playing time regardless of what grade
you are in
Film grades, player efficiency ratings, and hustle and gut
points will factor in playing time
It is the responsibility of the player to first discuss playing
time issues and not the parent.
Lack of playing time is not personal; we as a team strive
to place our players in the best chance to be successful
Whitaker 2013
Offense
Our primary offense is generating as many transition
opportunities and unsettled situations possible
Our base offense are motion offenses ran out of a 2-31, 3-3, 1-4-1, and 2-2-2
The 2-3-1 and 3-3 share the same basic motion
guidelines
We will have some quick hitters as well

WOODSTOCK LACROSSE DEFENSIVE
PHILOSOPHY
RELENTLESS- We are focused and attacking every second the ball is on our end. TAKE PRIDE IN OUR EFFORT IN
EVERYTHING THAT WE DO! WE LOVE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY DEFENSE! EMBRACE IT! WE LOVE THE
CHALLENGE!
CONSTANT COMMUNICATION- Listening as well as talking. If you are not talking, you are more worried about individual defense
than team defense.
DISCIPLINE- POSITIONING, OFF BALL D, APPROACH, CHECKS.
Our attention to detail will be unmatched. It is exciting that we are surrounded by people who care about us and want to see us improve.
Take advantage of it. Do not be stubborn; there are no egos here.
TRANSITION- We take pride in our stick skills and expect to be involved in scores. CLEAR THE BALL. First player without the ball
crashes the crease, second player without ball supports the ball carrier. WE ARE THE AGRESSOR IN TRANSITION AND NEED
SOLID DECISION MAKING!
PLAY HARD - You have the rest of your life to watch lacrosse. When you are on the field, play like a wild man. WHAT IS
PLAYING HARD? CONSISTENTLY DOING THE LITTE THINGS CORRECTLY!
“Training prepares you for the expected, but education prepares you for the unexpected.”
GREAT TEAMS CONSISTENTLY PLAY GREAT DEFENSE!
EVERYTHING WE DO WE DO TOGETHER!
Statistical Analysis
Hustle and Gut Chart
1. Shows how active and valuable each player is during
the course of a game
2. The chart directly relates to what we emphasize as a
program during the season
Whitaker 2013
Statistical Analysis
Hustle and Gut Formula
There are fifteen categories with different point values that player can
accumulate during a game.
Each time a player performs one of the fifteen categorical things in game,
the player will receive points for each thing they do in a game
For each game, the players will be given a hustle and gut score to see
how much they meant to their team during each game
The score will be charted by game kept by game and season totals

Statistical Analysis
Player Efficiency Ratings
Gives players feedback how well they played in a game or how efficiently they
played.
Quantitatively gives each player a game score based on seven positive and
seven negatives positional categories that the player can obtain during a game.
Helps to justify playing time and determines how valuable each player is to our
team.
Tangibly shows how every play (not just goals scored) in the game of lacrosse
matters in the final outcome of the game.
Whitaker 2013
Statistical Analysis
Player Efficiency Formula
The rating score is derived from taking the seven positive categories added them
together and subtracting that number from the seven negative categories added
together. That number is then divided by the total number of minutes played in that
particular game and produces a rating score for that game.
A seasonal rating score will be averaged from each game as well to show player
improvement and gives the coaches the ability to give player's feedback on what
they need to improve in order to get better or get more playing time.
Rating scale--.40 and above (All Region) .25-.39 (Starter) .10-.24 (Solid
Contributor) .10 or below (Role Player)
Whitaker 2013
Film Study/Grading
Film study/grading is one of the biggest things we do to
increase our LAX IQ
Each player will grade themselves or by position by a
series of plus and minuses
