Great stick skills (cradling, passing, and catching) are fundamental to playing lacrosse. 


Ground balls, which frequently cause turnovers, are often caused by a bad pass or a failed catch. Learning to quickly recover a ground ball helps our team bounce back and move the ball down the field.


Another great way to improve stick skills is by playing Wall Ball. The repetitive passing and catching with the wall teaches your body and reflexes the best way to handle your stick.
