Fast-paced, continuous 3v2 drill on a shortened field that begins with a quick outlet pass from the goalie. This is a great drill to work on quick transitions off the clear while attacking/defending the fast break
This is a competitive drill that works on ground balls, transition and fast breaks. It is fun as the players can really just get after it.
Practicing lacrosse drills in a true ‘scramble’ scenario. The game is extremely fluid and every moment in each game can be different, so creating or practicing lacrosse drills in truly ‘unscripted’ scenarios really helps to prepare your lacrosse team for these situations and the kids love it.
This is a fun competitive drill that works on ground balls, transition and fast breaks. Let your players compete with a reward and consequence based on the results!
I love drills that can incorporate a little bit of everything. This fun version of 3v2 does exactly that. I highly recommend you give it a try if you want to work on some fundamentals but change things up a little bit.
We always talk about fast paced drills that simulate game situations and forces players to think, recognize and react. Practicing clearing can sometimes really slow down even the most fast-paced practice. In a 4v3 drill, with a few simple wrinkles we can integrate breakout passes, spacing, re-direct passes, and riding all in the fast paced ¾ field transition drill. The key is to keep the drill moving even with the three different segments. We do not want players waiting in line to lose interest, so keep it fast paced and moving
This is the old school way to teach fast breaks. It practices offensive ball movement and defensive rotations movements in a classic 4- on-3 fastbreak. The trailer ensures the offense has a sense of urgency which is much more like a live game fast break.
I remember when I played many many years ago the only fast break our coach worked on was the 4v3 break. As the game has evolved we have learned that fast breaks come in so many different ways to the point that people do not even say the words “fast break” anymore but now we hear more often “unsettled situations” I love this drill because it works on taking advantage of having the extra player at every stage. You even get to work on clears as well!
This is a drill to work on 6V6 in transition, ball movement and team defense in a fast paced fun drill. This is a great drill if you are working with a large group of players.
This fast drill encourages a tremendous amount of hustle from the players, the drill offers up a fast 2V1 to 2V2, it is really a shooting drill, encourages players to quickly recognize and ‘make plays’ as well as defenders learning to handle the ball in close quarters close to the cage, as well as attack players playing defense. High pace, high energy will add passion to your practice and get the kids moving and engaged.
This is a great drill to test who should be on man and man down as it forces fast ball movement under pressure. It also forces the defense to work as a unit and rotate to the ball.
Too often, we have to choose between having our faceoff players practice independently or participating in team drills. This competitive faceoff drill engages the entire team, eliminating the need to separate faceoff specialists from the group.
