Station 1 - (1 on 1, 5 pts defense, 5 pts offense)
One on one to evaluate offensive/defensive skills. Offensive players have 15 seconds to take a shot on goal. Goal will have a goalie in it.
Offensive player will start 5 yards from the top of the fan. Defensive player will be on the fan. Offensive player will demonstrate offensive skills to get a good, clean, un-obstructed and safe shot on goal. Defender will demonstrate defensive skills, good foot movement, forcing offensive player to the side for a poor quality shot.
(Evaluators will be looking for good offensive and defensive skills: 5 points for offensive skills; 5 points for defensive skills; each player goes once on offense and once on defense.)
Station 2 - (Competitive ground balls, 10 pts)
Players will form two lines. There will be two players approximately 20 yards in front of them. Coach will throw ball out in front of players…players will sprint to the ball…competing for the ball…the player that gets the ball will bring it up into a good cradle…generate space between themselves and the other player without the ball…then throw to one of the two players that was out in front of them. This will be done for ground balls away.
(Evaluators will be looking for the full speed run, back hand down for a good scoop, protecting the stick/ball after the scoop, and a good cradle close to body but no closer than 7” to the head. Looking for a good dodge to generate space for a good pass to the open player. Score will be based on a subjective evaluation of how the players are performing. Score between 1 and 10, 1 being poor, 5 being average, 10 being outstanding. )
Station 3 - (Shooting, 10 pts)
10 shots for score.
Players will shoot from each of the 5 hash marks on the 8m arc. Players get 2 shots from each mark. Players may take a maximum of 3 steps towards the goal. Players get one point for each shot scored.
(Evaluators will be looking for the ready-to-shoot position, maximum of 3 steps, and a good, hard shot with precision. ½ point per goal, ½ point for the ready-to-shoot position, maximum of 3 steps, and a good, hard shot with precision, max of 10 points.)
Station 4 - (Throwing/catching on the run, left and right hand, 10 pts)
Players will form two lines at the end of the field. One ball will be in play. Players will throw and catch on the move as they pregress down the field. they must remain in the same line when they get to the other end of the field. Sticks will be to the outside as they run down the field. Player on the left will be throwing and catching left handed. Player on the right will be throwing and catching right handed. (This allows us to observe both left and right hand play.)
(Evaluators will be looking for the full speed run, good throw ~ no rainbows ~ and a good catch going directly into a cradle. After the catch, girls will run about 3-4 steps and throw. Score will be based on a subjective evaluation of how the players are performing (you are not penalized for a poor throw from your team mate). Score between 1 and 10, 1 being poor, 5 being average, 10 being outstanding.)
Station 5 - (Throwing and catching with another player, 5 strong hand, 5 weak hand, 10 pts)
Players will position themselves approximately 10-20 yards apart (distance based on age group being evaluated). They will throw and catch with each other switching hands each time the ball is caught, i.e. catch right, switch hands, throw right.
(Evaluators will be looking for a good throw, no rainbows, and good catch (you are not penalized for a poor throw from your team mate). Score will be based on how many times they throw and catch the ball, 1 point for a good throw and catch, 10 points max.)
Scrimmage - (All coaches – 40 pts)
(Evaluators will be looking at players for good, basic girls’ lacrosse skills as described below, 40 points max.)
