Block – On Air drills allow players to focus on individual skills without defensive pressure. They improve shooting mechanics, footwork, hand-eye coordination, and timing. Practicing in a controlled environment helps players build confidence, refine technique, and prepare for live-game situations with better accuracy and decision-making.
Drills like 3 Step Shooting and C-Drill Shooting help players master the difficult skill of shooting while moving. By focusing on footwork, body positioning, and stick control, players develop muscle memory and coordination. Practicing these techniques regularly increases shooting accuracy and effectiveness in real-game situations.
On Air drills are versatile and can be used as warm-ups, station work, or individual skill development. They allow players to practice fundamental techniques, build lacrosse IQ, and improve reaction time without the added complexity of defensive pressure. Incorporating these drills ensures that skills translate into competitive play effectively.
While On Air drills focus on individual skill development, they enhance performance in team drills and live-game scenarios. Players who master shooting, passing, and footwork in isolation can execute more effectively in competitive drills, small-sided games, and full-field situations. Combining On Air drills with team drills develops a well-rounded player capable of reading the game and reacting quickly.
