Introduction:Ground ball pickups are a fundamental skill in lacrosse that help players maintain ball possession during gameplay. The 5-Yard Scoop Drill focuses on improving this technique by practicing repetitive and precise movements for picking up the ball while advancing down the field.
Step-by-Step Drill Breakdown:
Setup:Arrange your team in three, four, or five lines, with about three to four players deep in each line. Players should be positioned to perform the drill in quick succession.
Rolling the Ball:A coach or teammate rolls a ball about five yards in front of the first player in each line.
