• Off-Season Conditioning

    If you want to improve your game and your conditioning you need to do the following:

    1. Play Wall Ball and Work on your shot. Try this routine. This routine could also be completed with a partner or group. Passing, catching and shooting efficiently and accurately make you a better player. To be a varsity level player you must be able to throw, catch and shoot with both hands!

    2. Running. Interval training is best for lacrosse as the changing of speeds and the stopping to rest simulates game situations. An example of an interval workout would be to sprint the width of the lacrosse field touch the line and sprint back (15-20 seconds) then jog back and forth for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat this 10-15 times x 4-5 days a week. The goal would be to build up to 25-30 of these intervals.
    Distance running will also improve your conditioning level. There’s no need to run more than 5 miles. 2-3 miles is more than enough at a time.

    3. Get in the weight room. We have a specific program for lacrosse which builds strength without adding a lot of bulk. If you would like a copy of the workout just let us know.
