Spice Up Your Practice
3V2 Small Field with Variations
with a little help from Coach Shriver
I just got a little rejuvenated about this drill from the interview with Coach Shriver from Boys Latin. Every once and a while the lacrosse coaches and the lacrosse players love the same drill, and I love this one. And I am already pretty sure that many of you run your own version of this drill. Awhile back I wrote a similar article on the drill for Laxpower.com, but since have learned even more on some variations. Remember our rules, fast paced, emulate a game situation, different every day to keep the kids engaged and fun. The conditioning and transition experience gained by the players in this very cool drill is just a bonus. If your practice is dragging or the kids are down, put a version of this one in your plans for today.
If you run this drill every day the exact same way, it can get to be the same old drag for players and coaches. But it is so much fun and accomplishes so many things. I learned a lot from Coach Shriver when he just started to list variations, and it made so much sense. So by utilizing the variations, possibly you can run it three times a week and make it slightly different and keep it interesting and engaging for the kids each day.
Our kids love this drill; it is wide open and fast. Many coaches run this drill with cages from sideline to sideline, but I like it as close to full field as possible. Move the cages 70- 80
