Hi all. I'm a parent. My son plays lacrosse and I kept hitting the same problem: between weekly practice and the occasional game, there's no clear plan for what he should work on at home.

Private trainers run up to $100 a session. YouTube drills are everywhere but none of them know my kid. And coaches don't have time to write individual development plans for every player on the roster.

So I spent the last few months building something for him. A short assessment that figures out his player profile, then sends a personalized drill each week that builds on the previous one.

There's also a coach mode. Run the same assessment across your full roster and get per-player development reports.

Or just send the parent link to your team families and let them generate their own. Gives parents something concrete to work on at home without you having to write 18 individual plans.

Free. No paywall, no upsell.

Posting here because I want feedback from coaches who actually run programs. The output is age-appropriate from U8 through U15+, covers all positions including LSM, SSDM, FOGO, and goalie.

Honest limitations:

• More refined for boys' lax than girls' right now (girls'-side question set is the next thing on my list)
• Output quality depends on how honestly the assessment is answered

If anyone tries it and tells me what's off, I'll fix it. That's the only reason I'm posting.

Hi all — I'm a parent of a youth lacrosse player and software engineer. I got tired of getting vague development feedback from coaches ("needs to work on fundamentals," "ground balls could improve") without a clear sense of what to actually do about it as a parent.

So I built a free quiz. About 2 minutes, 12 questions on observable things — what your player does with the ball, what they do off-ball, their physical style, stick skill comfort, how they handle mistakes, what motivates them. The output is a personalized "player archetype" (something like "The Field General" or "TheRelentless Grinder") plus 3 strengths, 3 development areas, and 3 specific next actions you can work on at home.

Works for U8 through high school, all positions. No signup, no email required, no ads, no monetization — it's a side project, and right now I'm just trying to figure out if it's actually useful or if I just convinced myself it is.

What I'd love from you specifically:

• Did the result feel like your player, or did it feel generic?
• Were the next actions concrete enough to actually act on, or too high-level?
• Anything obviously missing — questions that should be in there, or output sections you'd want?

I'd much rather hear "the drill suggestions are too generic" or "this missed something obvious" than nice-sounding feedback. Roast it if needed — that's what'll make it better.

Thanks for any time you give it.
