Touchdown Drill

By: Wayne Gebelein

This lacrosse drill is designed for both the offensive player and defensive player.
It teaches several skill sets for both.

Go to the end line between the restraining box and side line. Measure ten
yards from the end line and place two cones (one on side line and one on
restraining line ten yards from the end line.

Divide the team into two. Positions don't matter, you will switch.

The object of the drill is to have the offensive player score a 'touchdown'
by crossing the end line with the ball in his stick without running or
being forced out of bounds. The defensive player must maintain position
between the ball handler and the goal line for 10 seconds (coach keeps
time), dislodge the ball, or force the offensive player out of bounds.

This drill teaches defensive intensity for 10 seconds (game simulation),
position, and side line awareness. The offensive player learns dodging
intensity, change of direction and speed, cradling, as well as side line
awareness.
