Northern Player Finds Success on Minnesota Frost Select Lacrosse Team

Duluth's Nate Pratt (right)

Recently graduated Duluth-Superior Chargers senior defenseman Nate Pratt just returned from Colorado where he was a member of the Minnesota Frost U-19 Select lacrosse team.  The Minnesota Frost U-19 select team includes some of the best graduating seniors in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Frost team represented the state of Minnesota well at the Vail Lacrosse Shootout in Vail, CO from June 27 to June 30.  The Frost participated in the Division 1 bracket and came out in 6th place among 18 teams.  The tournament winner, the Crabs from Baltimore, is a team made up almost entirely of NCAA Division I recruits.  The competition at this tourney is top notch, and it's great to see one of our own northern Minnesota players making a big contribution to the team representing Minnesota.  Pratt is a University of Minnesota-Duluth lacrosse recruit at defense and will be suiting up for the 14 time UMLL conference champion Bulldogs next Spring.

We recently stumbled across a new website called HowToPlayLax.com powered by Icon Lacrosse.  This website has a lot of great information and instruction for players new to lacrosse and also has an advanced section that most players who've already played the game could benefit from.  Instruction is provided by Josh Sims and Trevor Tierney, two of the games biggest stars.  On the website you'll find a Beginner section with video and text instruction on throwing, catching, scooping, cradling, shooting, positional concepts, drills and games.  The Advanced section covers all of the above concepts from a more advanced perspective and also adds specific ideas for attack, midfield, defense, goalie, stickwork drills, positional drills, training and recruiting tips.  It's a very comprehensive site that also includes a good section on Team Concepts.  For northern Minnesota lacrosse players just getting started, this is a good site to check out.
