Wall ball for long poles members

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..

Backside Pop Backside Exchange Stickwork Dril

This skill is important for all offenses, but particularly offenses that rely heavily on the dodge-pass-pass-dodge/shoot concept like this 2-3-1 motion offense pop play.

Sideways 3v2 Rapid Zone and EMO Drill members

Sideways 3v2 Rapid Zone and EMO Drill

This drill is perfect for getting rapid fire reps that will improve your players’ ability and understanding of how to beat a zone. Many zone and man up plays utilize the idea of overloading one side to create a 3v2 or 4v3 against one side of the zone. In this drill we start our offensive players in that overload and instead of walking slowly through how to play against a zone, we give them the opportunity to play it out many times in a short segment
