Lacrosse Training: Short Area Dodge Drill

-January 13th, 2012-

It’s a Friday evening and I wasn’t planning on posting anything but found this video and thought I’d share it quickly.

It’s from IMG Academies and shows a drill you can use to practice your Dodging skills.

What I like best about this video is the progression of the drill. The first version is very basic and allows the offensive player to make the decision.

It is then progressed to include a reactionary component where the defender forces the offensive player to read his positioning and react accordingly. This drill will help improve not only your footwork but also your decision making skills and ability to read your opponents positioning.

As it is very specific to the sport this will directly transfer over to your game play.
