The jump shot in women's lacrosse follows a similar technique to men's lacrosse, but with some considerations due to differences in strength, style, and the equipment used. Here’s how to perform it correctly in women’s lacrosse:
Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hips aligned with the target (the goal). If you’re right-handed, you should be slightly to the right side of the goal and vice versa for left-handed players.
Hold the stick with both hands (the lower hand close to the base of the stick) as you prepare for your movement.
Chop your feet: Before performing the jump shot, it’s essential to make a small fake or chop with your feet to throw off your defender and put her off balance. This will give you more space to move forward.
