Learn How To Throw and Catch

A lacrosse passing and catching drill for beginners.

Need 1 Stick & Ball For Every 4 Kids

Have the groups (of four kids) face the gym wall. Tell the first kid in line to pick a spot on the wall and try to throw the ball at that spot and catch the ball on the rebound. After completing 3-4 catches, the first kid hands the lacrosse stick to the next kid in line.

One advanced variation is to have the kids throw 3-4 catches with their right hand and then 3-4 catches with their left hand. Like dribbling in basketball, the kids will need to get comfortable using both their right and left hands to play lacrosse.

Another advanced variation is to have two groups face each other and throw the lacrosse ball back and forth in a game of catch. After 3-4 catches, the next kids in line take their turn.

This drill continues for 10-15 minutes.

Point #1: It’s easier to play catch against a wall than to play catch with someone else. The throws are more accurate which makes catching easier.

Point #2: Teaching the kids to pick a spot on the wall will help them later on when they are shooting !
on goal and aiming for a corner of the net.
