Introduction:The X Dodge and Crease Picking drill is a powerful practice for women’s lacrosse players to enhance their offensive play. It emphasizes dodging from behind the crease (X), setting effective picks, and improving timing and teamwork to create offensive opportunities.
Step-by-Step Drill Development:
Positioning:Start with players positioned at X (behind the goal) with balls in hand. The players at X will initiate their dodge, while the player positioned in the middle will set a pick for the cutting player.
Dodge Movement:The player at X dodges toward the crease, driving hard to create space and confuse the defense. This movement is crucial for pulling defenders out of position.
