WALL BALL DRILLS
To be a great lacrosse player, you have to be a great stick handler. Along with the practice time you put in with the team, you need to do an equal amount on your own! Follow these simple stick drills by yourself or with a teammate and you can become a DOMINANT lacrosse player. Wall ball will improve cradling, accuracy, passing, shooting, catching, dodging, and hand-eye coordination. Wall ball strengthens wrists, forearms, body trunk, core, shoulders, legs, reaction time, quickness, lacrosse positioning and lacrosse stance.
The following is a 20 minute wall ball routine. All drills MUST be done with both hands!
1. Any wall will work, but a smooth concrete/brick wall at least 10 feet tall is best. (Gym wall)
2. Stand approximately five (5) yards from the wall
