Skill Development (Throwing)
1. Face your target
2. Begin throw from Ready Position, maintaining proper spacing of hands
3. As the pass commences, step forward with the opposite foot (left foot for right handed players and vice versa, pulling butt in towards body.
4. Follow through with the face of the stick towards the target. (For added speed snap wrists just before ball leaves the stick)
Activity 1:
1. Have players throw the ball against the wall and try to catch their own rebound. They should pick a spot on the wall that they are aiming for.
2. Once they get comfortable time them for a minute and see how many they can get.
3. Partners pass back and forth. See how many times they can pass without dropping the ball.
Optional activity: Toss, Catch and Run Relay from previous lesson. (This time have players throwing the ball to one another using the lacrosse sticks)
Concluding Activity Dog House:
*If you don't feel your students are ready for this activity stick to the relay format
Doghouse: Split gym in half with benches down the middle. There are two teams one on each side competing against each other. Each team nominates two catchers to go to the far wall. The other players make two lines with one ball at the front of each line, facing the doghouse. The goal is for the line with the ball to throw a successful pass to the player in the doghouse. If they are successful they go in the doghouse and form a single file line. If the pass is not successful they must run and retrieve the ball rolling it back to the line. The only way to get to The Doghouse line is by completing a pass. First team to have their entire team (or pick a designated number of players is the winner.) The two sides of the gym compete against one another throwing in opposite directions.
