Hand Toss Teach your new lacrosse players how to catch without the fear of someone hitting them with the ball in passing drills. New players feel strange enough with a funky stick, goggles, mouth piece, and cleats. We need to help them become comfortable with the idea of catching without the fear of a painful miss. Fake the bucket Grils Lacrosse Drill. Since it is much more difficult to keep the ball in a girl's lacrosse stick, each player needs to learn to move and retain the ball during rolls and dodges. Using a bucket or box you can work on your dodge fakes and rolls. Left and right hands will be used and developed. Walking triangle Three lacrosse players will create a triangle of varying sizes depending upon their skill. Each player will walk from corner to corner of the triangle practicing on passing skills. As the triangle gets bigger they will be able to jog around the triangle. Star Drill This lacrosse drill is used to develop soft hands with regards to receiving and making passes. I usually have the girls NOT cradle the ball when catching and passing. This helps them concentrate on making quick passes and also helps them concentrate on the catch. I have noticed the tendancy among my players to do a quick hard cradle after they catch the ball and this drills helps them realize it is easier to catch and pass without a cradle in between. It also works as a quick stick drill.
