Concept 1: Refining Lacrosse Stick Skills – Building
Transition Passing Ability and Shooting, Shooting, Shooting
The first thing that became apparent
to us was that the passing of the lacrosse ball during our drills was not game like: fast and furious. There was too much push and not enough confidence during practice. You
need to be able to use the lacrosse stick as a lever to get the needed force
behind a pass in "game" like scenarios.
When we analyzed our practice, we realized
players really didn't need perfect pull on the bottom hand, working the stick as
a lever, because they can push the ball with the top hand just fine to make this
short pass. Secondly, we realized that their mechanics in catching the ball on
the run were nearly nonexistent. Many of our newer players stopped to catch the
ball and sadly, even some of our experienced players, stopped to pass it. As
far as catching the ball over the shoulder on the dead run, we didn’t have many
players even thinking of it. Without this level of sophisticated stick skills
in place, transition lacrosse, the essence of the game will never evolve.
The B-Lax Blast teaches using the
stick as a lever as well as catching the lacrosse ball on the run that will help transition lacrosse. The number of repetitions and the
ability to practice on your own increases the probability of success through confidence and helps
move away from the “push” of the lacrosse ball.
Tip ... Work on the weak side. It's huge and will be a game changer!
