Basics of Being a Better Player

There are a ton of people saying a ton of things about how to become a better lacrosse player.  We think it can be pretty simply stated as follows:

1.  You must learn to catch, throw, and shoot both left-handed and right-handed.

2.  The more time you play with your stick perpendicular to the ground, the better player you are.

3.  Move the ball.  The less time the ball spends in your stick, the better player you are.

4.  Move the ball off the ground.

5.  Move without the ball.

6.  Move to the ball.

7.  Look at a spot behind the goalie as you shoot.

8.  Shoot with a quick release.

9.  Defensemen must have equal or better stickwork than attackmen or midfielders.

10.  Play defense like a boxer boxes.

11.  You don't have to take the ball away to be a good defenseman.
