From Lacrosse Plan Drills

Back to Practice Plans

Time Drill
5 Min Active Stretching
  • Shooting Focused
10 Min Keep Away
60 Min Hogan Pace of Practice Passing Drills

Goal is to get a ton of touches with a high amount of engagement in a short period of time

  • Drill 1: Star Drill (two or three balls)
  • Drill 2: Star Drill with Shooting line 5 (top of star) can shoot or pass to line 1 (balls start at line 1)
  • Drill 3: Saint Drill - Two over the shoulder passes each time a player goes (go all right handed, then all left handed)
    • Start with 4 lines 15-20 yards on each side of the middle of the goal and top of the box
    • Two Goalies in the middle of both lines
    • balls start down low, passes to same side high, passes to the goalie, runs up field catches from goalie over the shoulder and then passes to the top left, top left passes down to bottom left
  • Drill 4: Four Corners - Over the shoulder passing (all right, all left, catch right throw left, catch left throw right)
    • Goalies in the middle with balls
    • 4 corners 15-20 lines out
    • 2 balls, goalies follow the ball, if the ball gets dropped the goalie passes a new ball to the next guy in line
  • Drill 5: Alley Dodge with a pull pass shot
    • 3 lines up top, first guy dodges down the alley, hits a cone, pull passes to center guy, who moves it to 3rd for outside shot
  • Drill 6: Z Approaches with a Ground Ball
    • Put 5 cones in a Z pattern, approach, and drop step, at then end coach rolls a gb to
  • Drill 7: 3 v 2 Drill - Constant 3v2 with a goalie, positions don't matter the drill never stops
    • One defensive line in the back, 3 offensive lines up top
    • Coach drops a ball at the middle line and it goes
    • One whistle and we start the next play, no waiting
    • The last guy to touch the ball on offense becomes a defender with the one defender coming in
    • The last guy on offense can't forget to play defense (this helps get over thinking how did I miss the goal). If this guy forgets, the whole team must do 5 pushups per miss at the end
5 Min Partner Stick Protection
  • Two guys partner up, one protects his stick the other light pokes and lifts
7 Min Skip Pass Shooting feed from X
  • 4 lines of guys in a square
  • Balls at the back two lines. Behind cage guy drives to a side, skip pass to the opposite side
  • Guy receiving ball be in a triple threat stance, stick high, receive pass and shoot
7 Min ISO dodge from top middle, pick side and dump
  • Goal is to mimic an ISO dodge from top middle, draw a defender and dump
  • Have two guys stacked in the crease and 5 yards up
  • Ball starts up top, dodger picks an alley, the middle guys recede back, look for dump and then shoot
  • Guy that shoots, is out, other stays in, dodger is in the middle
  • Variation: put a defender in the middle to mimic passing over
20 Min 5 v 5 or 10 v 10 Scrimmage
  1. Every player interested in facing off gets a chance to do multiple face-offs.
  2. The teams must be even, so if it is lopsided, switch some players from each team.
  3. Attack and defenders need to be mixed, not just with the same partners.
  4. Feature a lot of rides, clears, and face offs.
