Lacrosse Defense Pole Training for Beginners

One of the great things that a young defender can do with a lacrosse defense long pole is snag high passes by opponents. Your team will get an easy takeaway (and a chance to infuriate the opposing coach).

You can practice this skill with a simple "monkey in the middle" lacrosse drill. Just position the player with the d-pole in the middle and have two other players (on opposite sides) toss moderately high passes to one another. Have the defender try to snag these passes with his d-pole.

Lacrosse balls and cars windows

Lacrosse balls and car windows are usually not a good mix.

I am amazed that many parents still park directly behind a lacrosse net (despite years of watching lacrosse). Kids are often off-track when shooting and as they get older, the shots are fast. A hard lacrosse ball fired sidearm by a teenager (or some coach showing off) is going through a car window.

I park my car far away from the cages and walk the few extra steps. I have seen too many cars get beaned!!!

This semi-advanced dodge is used a lot by Canadian lacrosse players. Practice it and add it to your arsenal of moves!
