Single Leg Hops for Lacrosse: Part 3

-May 26th, 2020-

Part 3 of our Single Leg Hop Series for Lacrosse players features Rotational Hops. By adding a 1/4 turn we get to apply another unique force at the knee.

Almost all ACL tears happen when the knee caves in and rotates, so by applying these forces we are training the body to resist them reducing the odds of injury going forward.
