Now, you won’t go from beginner to Casey Powell/Rob Pannell/Paul Rabil/Lyle Thompson level right away, but you can definitely make some rapid improvements if you do things the right way, focus on fundamentals, and get after it with a passion. Some of these things can be done alone while others require a small group of friends, but all of them will help you become a better lacrosse player… and that’s why you put in all this work!

Get Better At Lacrosse This Weekend!

Build A Thompson Target

Accuracy is KING out there if you want to score goals. The Thompson target forces you to shoot accurate and shoot hard, and it allows for players to really test themselves on their own. This training tool can be used alone, with a friend, or even as a goal for some 2-on-2 or 3-on-3.

Ok, now you’ve built your training target… it’s time to get out there and use it!

Play Wall Ball

Maybe you’re tired of playing wall ball. If that’s true, watch Paul Rabil get after on the wall. If he’s still doing this, you should be doing this!

Even if you’re on a boat… or near a boat…

Seriously, no excuses. WALL BALL ANYWHERE!

String a New Stick!

You can always exercise your mind by stringing up a new stick. This past week I did just that when I threw a Gait Trakker Pocket into a men’s head. It came out great, so follow Red Star’s example and ask yourself, “will it string?”

Play Small Sides Games With Friends

3X lacrosse is basically 3×3 lacrosse with a custom goal. Find a way to play a mini game with friends and I guarantee you’ll get better. You can use a trash can, a cardboard box, a plastic bin, or a metal pipe as your goal. Be creative, work on new things, and play to have fun and win. This is not THE way to get better, but it’s a GREAT way to get better. Play on a field, in your backyard, on a basketball court… ANYWHERE! There can be no limit to your creativity if you want to plays some lacrosse.

Watch Lacrosse And LEARN!

These Salisbury players are serious! Use them as inspiration to be serious yourself. Taking pride in practice is a huge factor when it comes to program success.

There is no reason not to improve this weekend!
