Practice drills organized around reps, constraints, communication, and competitive scoring.
Transition and Team Timing Practice plan. Transition play is a crucial aspect of lacrosse that involves quickly moving the ball from defense to offense or vice versa.
This is a fun competitive drill that works on ground balls, transition and fast breaks. Let your players compete with a reward and consequence based on the results!
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.
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.
Some of the best drills are the most simple ones. This is a great drill to work on quick lateral movement for your goalie and soft hands for your attackmen.
Fun and competitive drill that works on ground balls, getting open, passing, shooting.
A great stick work drill to start every practice or warm up before games where players get into small groups of 4 and get a lot of touches. I really like this drill as it is an alternative to the old school line drills as the kids get many more touches.
We always talk about fast paced drills that simulate game situations and forces players to think, recognize and react. Practicing clearing can sometimes really slow down even the most fast-paced practice. In a 4v3 drill, with a few simple wrinkles we can integrate breakout passes, spacing, re-direct passes, and riding all in the fast paced ¾ field transition drill. The key is to keep the drill moving even with the three different segments. We do not want players waiting in line to lose interest, so keep it fast paced and moving
This is the old school way to teach fast breaks. It practices offensive ball movement and defensive rotations movements in a classic 4- on-3 fastbreak. The trailer ensures the offense has a sense of urgency which is much more like a live game fast break.
The tight formation increases difficulty in passing while working on quick passing and getting off a quick shot on goal. This is a great drill to work on quick ball movement and getting off a shot quickly. A fun way to increase stick skills.
We all know how imperative face offs are in a game and having great wing play is a key part of winning faceoffs.
A great drill to work on the long passes there are so crucial to clearing. It is a common practice for a good riding team to force the long pass because this is the most commonly dropped pass in the game, especially at the younger levels. Having your least skilled players (long sticks) making the most difficult pass is typically a recipe for disaster.
