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.
Theme Description & Objected: Transition Play and Finishing
Transition Play & Finishing is designed to help players learn how to capitalize on fast-break opportunities and turn quick transitions into quality scoring chances. The objective of this plan is to teach young athletes how to run the field with pace, make early decisions, and find the open player as numbers develop. Through fun, small-sided drills and simplified fast-break scenarios, players learn spacing, timing, and how to finish with balance and proper shooting mechanics. This approach builds confidence, encourages unselfish team play, and helps players understand how great offense often starts from a well-executed transition.
