The Scoop and Shoot drill keeps players engaged from the moment they arrive, ensuring they develop essential skills like ground ball recovery, quick transitions, and shooting mechanics.

It includes various finishing techniques like catch and shoot, emphasizes accurate passing, ground ball skills, and overhand shooting. Ideal as a warm-up, it reinforces essential lacrosse fundamentals.
Enhance lacrosse shooting accuracy and quick release with this solo drill. Using three cones, lacrosse balls, and a goal, set the cones 5 yards apart, starting 10-15 yards from the goal. Begin at the center cone, shoot, sprint to the right cone for a shot, return to the center, then move to the left cone for another shot. Repeat for set rounds, focusing on quick, accurate shots with proper form. Variations include time constraints, dodging, and using the non-dominant hand.
A lacrosse long stick defenseman should play wall ball to hone their stick skills, develop muscle memory, and improve their overall proficiency with the long pole. Wall ball practice allows defenders to refine their passing accuracy, catching ability, and defensive maneuvers in a controlled environment, leading to increased confidence and effectiveness on the field. By regularly practicing wall ball, long stick defensemen can enhance their defensive capabilities, contribute more effectively to their team's transition game, and ultimately become more versatile and impactful players in all aspects of the game..
This is a very simple warm up drill that works the fundamentals of ground balls, passing and shooting. Highly recommend this.
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.
What happens immediately after a loose ball pick-up? Here we focus on ground balls, ball movement, rides and clears all in one drill. Drills that directly emulate game scenarios, are fast-paced, and focus on a number of fundamentals simultaneously in every activity are great and this one certainly does that.
