Andy Corno: Hi! I am Andy Corno with Leader's Lacrosse Camps, Clinics and Private Lessons and right now, I'm going to show you how to improve on your stick work and become a better thrower, catcher and cradler in lacrosse.
First, you want to find a wall to throw against. We recommend that this wall is really close to your house, so you could always practice, three, four, five times a day.
You want to practice using both hands. We went over basic fundamentals, the throwing, catching and cradling. You also want to improve on your offhand as well as your strong hand. To do this, go out against the wall and get a lot, a lot of repetitions. A good routine to go through would just to start-off throwing the ball against the wall. Nothing complicated, nice, soft, easy passes against the wall; 50 with your left and then 50 with your right.
You can also integrate other things into your wall routine, in between passes, cradle. So, catch it, cradle a couple of times then throw it again against the wall. Do this 25-50 times with both hands throwing, catching and cradling. Also, when you go out with a friend or practice against the wall, practice your one-handed cradles, going from catching to one-handed cradles to back, to throwing again. The next thing that you want to practice when you go out against the wall or practice with a friend is switching hands, going from cradling in your left hand to cradling in your right hand. Practice the motion of bringing the lacrosse stick, across your face and rolling it down.
You can also throw the ball, catch with one hand, switch to the other, throw the ball, catch with the same hand, switch to the other, so you alternate the hands that you are throwing with.
Those are the fundamental to how to practice lacrosse on your own.
