Your focus
Almost all goals in lacrosse are scored while the shooter is moving. Training accurate shooting at full speed from multiple angles prepares players for the exact conditions in which goals are scored in games.
Set up 4 shooting stations around the crease at 8-12 yard distances.
Player runs from one cone to the next, receiving a pass at each cone and shooting on the run.
Player must shoot before their back foot passes the cone, no stopping to set up.
Complete 2 full rotations around all 4 stations. Track accuracy percentage per station.
Goal
You're there when your on-the-run shot stays on frame at full speed, not pulling up to aim, just trusting your mechanics while moving.
Helpful cues
- Let your momentum add power to the shot, don't fight against it
- Plant foot perpendicular to goal at the shot cone
- Top hand leads the shot, drive it through at the corner
