3 cone scoop & shot drill

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.

Wall ball for long poles

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..

123 Box Slide Drill

As coaches we often work hard on a defined slide package, or multiple slide packages in our lacrosse drills. Maybe you are a crease slide guy, or a coma slide guy, or even an adjacent slide guy. In addition to working on the slide, this lacrosse drill really emphasizes the slide and the recovery.

2v2 alley in ground ball

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.
