We will work on the proper technique; stick protection, fakes, shot location and team offensive principles.
Defensive players will be coached in individual technique (stance, hand position, body position, checking), defending one-on-one (from X, from the wing, from up top), and team defense (playing off the ball, sliding, transition defense and team defensive schemes).

Explosive Shooting
Jun 8-Aug 26 |
(Tues & Thur 7:00pm-8:30pm) |
Explosive shooting is for high-level athletes that wish to significantly improve their shooting ability and shot speed in a structured, intense learning environment. The goal of this 4 week class is to reengineer each player’s shot thus giving him the ability and confidence to become his team’s most dangerous shooter.
Players will start each session with the Gottfeld lacrosse matrix warm up which unlocks and opens the hips and thoracic spine to activate all critical muscle groups. This is an essential element for optimizing power and flexibility to maximize shot speed.
Each class will emphasize vital shooting mechanics and technique. All shooting drills will be conducted both right and left handed focusing on optimal shooting technique including a strong hip and shoulder turn, proper stance, arm extension, etc.
In addition to shot speed, we will also focus on other critical aspects of shooting to make each participant a better all around shooter including; shot placement, changing planes, quick release, shooting on the run, stick deception and fakes.
The shooting segment of each class will be followed by a lacrosse specific strength training session using our Keiser strength training equipment to improve core, upper and lower body strength and flexibility that will result in a more explosive shot.
