Tips and Drills -- THE WALL
If you are serious about becoming a lacrosse player, you must PRACTICE!!!!
Drills, especially wall work, will sharpen your stick skills. It will also build up muscles, and muscle endurance, in your arms, shoulders, and back that will make you throw further and shoot harder.
Playing with a friend is fun, but the friend does not always catch the ball or throw it properly. THE WALL NEVER LIES! If you throw or aim wrong, the wall will let you know immediately, and you can make the proper corrections.
1. All drills must be performed with BOTH HANDS
2. Any wall will work, but a smooth concrete wall at least 10 feet tall is the best surface
3. Always use your GLOVES when performing this routine
4. Stand about 7-10 feet from the wall (Do not let the ball hit the ground or you will develop bad habits when catching the ball.
5. Perform this routine 4 to 5 times a week for 15 to 20 minutes
