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: Wide World of Sports
Around the World of Sports is designed to help players develop athleticism and game sense by using drills inspired by other sports. The objective of this plan is to show young athletes how movement patterns, spacing, and decision-making from games like basketball, soccer, hockey, and football translate directly to lacrosse. Through fun, familiar, and fast-paced activities, players learn skills like cutting, give-and-go passing, shielding, and transition play in new and engaging ways. This approach broadens their athletic foundation, builds coordination, and helps them understand lacrosse concepts through the lens of multiple sports—making learning both intuitive and exciting.
