This drill focuses on developing attacking and defensive skills in a live one-on-one lacrosse situation. The attacker works on receiving the ball, establishing proper body positioning, and executing a quick dodge toward the cage, while the defender practices maintaining position and applying pressure. Adding a time limit simulates real game conditions and sharpens decision-making speed.
