Players line up in alternating positions: Mouse (O) and Cat (X), forming an XOXO pattern.
A moderate distance in front of the line, place two cone circles large enough for the players to practice changing direction with their lacrosse sticks.
At the whistle, the attacking player (Mouse, O) begins running around the cones in a figure 8 pattern. She must carry her lacrosse stick with the ball in the pocket, practicing stick control and ball possession while moving.
The defending player (Cat, X) starts chasing the Mouse but without a stick, allowing the attacker to practice evading the defender without the pressure of immediate stick checks, focusing solely on movement.
