For every sport there is a specific skill that is unique to that sport. In our sport it is the ability to catch and throw with a lacrosse stick. It is the cornerstone of our sport and more often than not the team that can do this with the most proficiency wins. Coaches will debate so many things regarding strategy, commitment, planning and much more. But the one constant is that wall ball is a fantastic activity to build skill.
Wall ball can be a great way to pass the time but should also be done with a purpose.
Things to keep in mind when practicing against the wall.
Footwork: Your feet should be in the proper position when you throw the ball or catch a pass at the wall. Try to have your feet aligned in the same way you would in the course of live play. When the stick is in your right hand, keep your left foot forward and your right foot back.
