Women's lacrosse drills for footwork, pressure, ball movement, and team play.
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 defenses don’t break on the slide, they break after it. This drill teaches players how to recover, communicate, and protect the middle.
A warm-up that actually wakes players up. This mirror drill builds reaction, footwork, and focus, all while keeping things fun and competitive.
Great offenses don’t force passes, they create them. This drill teaches how to separate, read pressure, and zip the ball through X at the right moment.
If your stick isn’t protected, nothing else matters. This drill teaches players how to stay tight, turn under pressure, and finish with control.
Most players lose ground balls before they even scoop. This drill teaches how to win position first, then secure and protect the ball.
Most defenders struggle with stick checks because they move their whole body. These simple progressions teach how to separate the hands from the body, and that changes everything.
If you’re building team defense in women’s lacrosse, start with the most dangerous moment: a dodge into the 8-meter. This drill teaches how to stop it, together.
This 2v2 +1 drill teaches players how to win ground balls and instantly turn them into a numbers advantage. It’s fast, chaotic, and exactly what shows up in games.
The five-person weave is a fast, dynamic passing drill designed to give players more touches and improve their stick control. Instead of scrimmaging with 24 players and only one ball, this drill forces constant movement, catching, flipping, and finishing with a shot. It teaches girls to handle the ball in their outside hand, communicate, time their cuts, and finish under pressure. This is a great option for any coach who wants a high-energy drill with clear purpose and simple structure.
This small-sided 1v1 ground ball game builds stick skills, defense, and offensive creativity while keeping players active and competitive.
“Messy Yard Lacrosse” is a fast and dynamic game designed to improve stick skills and ball control in a fun and competitive environment. Players, divided into two teams, must use their lacrosse sticks to pick up and transport balls to the opposite side of the field, preventing them from accumulating in their own “yard.” At the end of the time, the team with the fewest balls on their side wins. This activity promotes speed, teamwork, and decision-making under pressure, while players practice key lacrosse skills.
