Agree with X-daddy. If you are new to the sport and still developing your stick skills you don't need books or tapes. You can search the net for some tips and technique (basic dodges, hand position, etc.) but your effort will be best spent just working with your stick in your hand.
For cradles, just take a ball and work both hands, try picking ground balls on the run and keeping it in your stick, and most importantly try switching hands back and forth until you can do this quickly without losing the ball. Wall drills or partner passing with both hands will get your passing and catching skills going- add speed to the passes until you are comfortable.
If you are looking for some team play look into summer or winter leagues either indoors or out offered by some of the local shops (I think Velocity offers indoor at Wall to Wall and there are leagues at Cinci Sports Mall). These will let you practice what you learn at camp and get comfortable with team play and passing/ catching on the run.
Good luck!
