welcome, coach!

A snapshot of what we do!

The mission of WLD is to provide lacrosse drills, resources and trainings for coaches which are all adaptable to the level of your coaching ability and the level of your lacrosse team.

We sort all our learning material into Pathways based on age and skill levels: We cover College, High School and Club, 7th & 8th Grade, 5th & 6th Grade, and the Littles (under 4th grade).

Overview: We’ve created and curated an accessible, online collection of lacrosse drills, practice plans, coaching tools, and video tutorials from expert coaches like Emily Boissonneault, Bill Olin, and Kirstin Kimmel. All resources are tailored to help you and your players progress.

Our Community: With our Circle Up community, you won’t be learning alone! Join live trainings, networking events and connect with other coaches as you build your knowledge. All of our learning material is in our community to maximize collaboration.

What’s included?

Our online Pathways include lacrosse drills, practice plans, strategy, coaching tools & resources, (live) video tutorials from high level coaches & our online community.

We add many new items to the Pathways each month, so the collection is always growing.

Drills: Every drill has a video, a digital play and a printable PDF. We want you to grow your drill book and learn the nuances of each drill through the videos.

Live Events: Join our Pop Ups and Guest Trainer events, Networking groups to learn deeper. At least once a month, we have a live training in Circle Up from a qualified high-level coach and you have access to our past trainings from coaches including Janine Tucker, Avery Blackmon, Amy Altig and many more.

Strategy: This space takes a dive into coach's playbooks as well as other strategic concepts.

Skills: This brand new space showcases how to teach skills as basic as GBs and as advanced as twizlers, depending on your pathway!

…plus Coaching Tools, Practice Plans, Agility & Fitness…

Overall, the Pathways are an accessible, simple way to help coaches of all levels - it doesn’t matter how new or seasoned you are in the game, there is always something to learn.

"It has been a ton of fun watching some of the video's and downloading drills. I signed up for new drills for our new zone d we were teaching, but have enjoyed the other topics as well. I'm excited to implement into our spring season."

-Jackie Dando, Bucknell Head Coach

"I've been a WLD member for a few years now. It has been such a great resource. Between presentations by experts and the sharing of ideas by community members, I feel like my women's lacrosse knowledge has grown by leaps and bounds since I joined (and I've been coaching lacrosse for 20+ years). It is such a welcoming place for girls' lacrosse coaches of all levels and experience. I highly recommend becoming a WLD member!"

Thank you so much!!"

"I am SO very grateful that WLD exists. I was searching online for a group to join with other coaches to share experiences, drills, and just connect with. And then I found the perfect place. The drill database is EXCELLENT and I've implemented many drills into my practice plans. I've gotten so many great ideas from the discussion board conversations. I'm also part of the women business owners group, and I always feel fired up to get to work after each of our meetings. I think we all do! WLD is a wonderful tool for all levels of lacrosse coaches. So happy to be here!"
