ROUTINES
Wall Ball routine sample. The stick drills in this routine should be used daily in the off-season and several times per week during the season. Once you master your stick (which takes a lot of dedication) the rest of your game will fall into place with much less frustration. Stick with it!
Running Guide sample. The nature of a lacrosse game consists of endurance running, short bursts of speed, stop-and-start running with high intensity, and a bit of body and stick contact thrown in, with only brief rests on the bench while waiting for your next shift. Here's a sample running guide to get you started.
