The 3 Player Handle drill improves stickwork, ground balls, and catching skills through a continuous, high-repetition progression.
Improve stick skills, passing, and dodging with the 3-person shuttle drill. A fast-paced lacrosse warm-up designed to maximize reps and develop all-around fundamentals.
This is a great ground ball drill to make sure everybody gets the reps. All too often the winner coops through the ball, rolls out and makes a pass but the others just get back in line without going through those fundamentals. This changes that.
Most players lose ground balls before they even scoop. This drill teaches how to win position first, then secure and protect the ball.
In this drill, players split into two teams and compete to control ground balls tossed by the coach into a circle, aiming to complete two consecutive passes before exiting near their team's line to score a point. Emphasis is on strong communication for both teams: attackers coordinate to facilitate quick, effective passes, while defenders focus on rapid marking and strategic doubling to prevent easy exits and scoring.
This is a fun drill focusing on boxing out, picking up the ground ball and rolling out to make a clean outlet pass.
