With Chris Robinson, McDonough School Head Girls Lacrosse Coach; Back-to-Back (2011, 2010 ) LaxPower High School Girls Lacrosse National Champions; 3-time Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland State Champions at McDonough; 5-time Maryland Public Secondary School Athletic Association State Champions; Career coaching record; 198-15-1 career (.925 winning percentage). Chris Robinson has provided an easy-to-follow blueprint suited for any organization committed to improving the development of their players. Coach Robinson demonstrates drills and skills though a progression of exercises that start with basic, individual skills and build to game-like situational experience. Practice begins with one-on-one passing drills. Right-and left-handed proficiency is emphasized as players work through various passing techniques designed to help them develop basic skills. Other drills include: Ground ball play techniques intended to develop on-field situational awareness; Shuttle drills designed to maximize player involvement; Grid drills that encourage competitiveness and simulate game situations; Transition play that brings together all of the individual skills taught and allows the players to sharpen their skill in a game setting. Coach Robinson's drills maximize active player participation. Almost every drill shown was designed to increase player involvement and yet still allow for detailed coach oversight. Players are encouraged to "take risks" in an effort to build their confidence and improve performance. As the repetition of drills progress, techniques are added to develop the exercises into offensive and defensive game situation drills. Coach Robinson successfully engages his players with competitive practice skills and reward contests designed to encourage players to work harder and have fun with practice. These are the drills that helped create the nation's number 1 rated girls lacrosse team as recognized by US Lacrosse and ESPN.
