Emma's strongest signal: Catching
Next jump: Defense

Stick Skills and Ground Balls & Transition are already showing up as meaningful strengths in live field situations, and those strengths are beginning to raise the quality of every rep. The next jump is Defense.

UpLVL Assessment
3 new notes, 2 earlier notes, and 8 skills interpreted for Emma's development
UpLVL
Emma is progressing through the Transition Stage, with Stick Skills and Ground Balls & Transition emerging as the most reliable parts of the profile. Across this report window, Stick Skills made the clearest movement while Stick Skills continued to set the standard. In recent live field situations, Emma showed more control as the pace increased, stayed connected through tighter decisions, and carried the strongest habits into demanding moments. This shows a developing profile becoming more reliable as the demands increase. The primary priority is Defense. Emma now needs to build control and timing before adding more speed and pressure. In the Force and Contain, Emma should force an attacker to one side and contain her from getting to the goal in a 1v1 defensive drill, with one standard throughout: step toward the strong side to force her weak. Successful transfer will look like Emma using defense at full pace without losing control, timing, or awareness of the next option.

Emma looked more composed in the flow of play. Stick Skills and Ground Balls & Transition were the clearest separators in this session and created more control in the game. The next push is Defense and Decision-Making so that level holds when the pace lifts, the decisions get tighter, and the game becomes less forgiving.
Coach KazMar 2
Defense and Decision-Making are the clearest next step. The goal is to keep the same quality when space closes quickly.

What You Need
lacrosse sticklacrosse ballcones
Mindset Rep
Commitment Cue

Pick the cue that tells you when to go. Say it quietly before the rep starts.

Your Focus

Forcing and containing is the primary defensive objective in player-to-player defense.

1
Set Up

Set up a lane 6 yards wide toward a cone goal.

2
Run The Rep
A.
Defender positions to force attacker to their weak-hand side.
B.
Attacker drives toward the goal; defender must stay between them and the goal using lateral shuffle steps.
3
Check It

Step toward the strong side to force them weak

Goal

Success is keeping the attacker from the crease and forcing them wide on at least 4 out of 5 reps, you directed the play, they didn't direct you.

Helpful Cues
Step toward the strong side to force them weakStay a stick-length away, close enough to check, far enough to reactDon't go for the check until you see them expose the stick
UPLVL IT

Attacker can switch directions at any time; defender must react and reestablish force.
