Over the Goal Shooting Drills for Lacrosse

This drill is going to work on shooting. It's called shooting over goal into a goal. This drill is going to work on snapping your top hand when you shoot, like a basketball player in basketball with the follow through, and also you are going to work on the bottom hand pulling to gain velocity.

The drill is, we have one goal about 10-15 yards in front of another goal. We are going to focus on hitting three spots at this drill. The first spot is going to be the crossbar, the second spot is going to be off hip, on either side of the goal, and the third spot is going to be the cone, which represents the front of the crease.

I am going to stand here as the coach and toss Carl some balls. He is going to catch them and just shoot over top of one goal into the other. This cone here is about where he wants to stand so he doesn't hit his stick on the first goal.

First, the crossbar, second is off hip, and third, we are going to try and hit the cone. When doing this drill you do not want to jump, you want to work on extending your arms, to get it over top of the first goal, and get the ball into the second goal.
