Please Note:
The practice is designed to bring value across multiple age levels. You can use this as a foundation to build and develop your own practice. With that being said, we highly encourage you to adjust the drills based on your team’s age and skill levels. Lacrosse Drive should always be used as a starting point — you can make drills easier or harder by changing the constraints.
To make a drill easier, you might Increase the playing area, reduce the number of defenders or rules, add time or space to make decisions
To make a drill harder, you might: Shrink the field or add boundaries, add defenders or touch restrictions (e.g., “one-pass before shooting”), or Limit time or space to force faster decisions
Small adjustments to field size, player numbers, and rules can significantly change the challenge level while maintaining the same core learning goal.

This session challenges players to control the rhythm of the game
The emphasis is on efficiency with the ball, valuing every touch, keeping spacing clean, and ensuring tempo is player-driven rather than opponent-controlled. Every drill connects back to composure, timing, and precision within a fast, fluid style of play. By the end of this session, players will:
- Develop greater control of game tempo, knowing when to accelerate or settle into possession.
- Execute high-speed offense with clean stickwork and minimal turnovers.
- Improve ability to retain and move the ball under defensive pressure.
- Communicate effectively to maintain team rhythm and collective flow
