Monday & Wednesday, 4:30 and 5:30 in Cranford with Coach Jake. First session is free.
Small group sessions so your player gets more work between seasons. The focus is the small details: where the wrists sit, how the hips load, how the feet angle. The stuff that makes an efficient lacrosse player.
Every session opens with our warmup. It preps the body and teaches players how to run: stride length, how to propel forward, how the foot strikes the ground.
Catching, throwing, cradling. We sweat the small stuff: wrist position on the catch, where the top hand sits, keeping the stick protected in traffic.
Form first, then a lot of shots. How the feet angle to the cage, loading the hips, hand position, following through to the target.
First step and change of direction: dropping the hips, planting the feet, selling the fake before the burst. Beating a defender starts in the footwork.
Staying in front without reaching. Footwork, body position, angling the feet to steer the dodger where we want them.
Where to be on the field, on ball and off ball. Spacing, timing, moving into the play instead of watching it.
