Sports experts say that it takes thousands of repetitions of a movement correctly to make it a skill.  The key to this is learning each step correctly and in sequence so that skills are developed at a high level.  It takes much longer to "unlearn" a behavior than it does to learn and practice it correctly from the start.
 

Believing this, Nutmeg is committed to having the best coaches at each level.  Many programs assign the weakest coaches to the youngest and newest players and better coaches to the top teams. We believe that it is at least equally important to have top coaches at the entry level as it is at the elite level.  For this reason we choose our coaches with great care to bring not only the best teachers of the game but the best teachers and coaches of people as well.  Our coaches at Nutmeg Lacrosse will provide a positive approach to the game of lacrosse, concentrating on stick skill development, position specific drills and team and game concepts.  Each player will be given individualized attention to increase their chances of success.

Our Nutmeg system is based on a developmental sequence of lacrosse skills developed by Hall of Fame coach Mike Waldvogel and mentor for many of our coaches.  It identifies and builds sequentially the skills necessary for success at each age and level.  Our program is proud of the results of its first graduates now moving into varsity college programs with great success as the end product of this system of coaching.

In choosing a lacrosse program, shiny uniforms are nice; good facilities are important, peers of equal skills are valuable; exciting competition is important, but none of these are as vital as having coaches who know the game, know how to teach it and know how to work with young people.  Check out the Nutmeg coaching staff. You'll find no program can compare with Nutmeg for this key ingredient of successful athletes.
