Lax Tips
Tips for Players to set you on your way to on-field success.
Move to Meet the Pass
Always move to meet every pass, and circle away from your defenseman.
Fake Passes
When you have the ball, be constantly faking passes – keep your defense man’s stick moving. Go ahead, throw that sky-whammy.

Make Good Passes
Take pains to make every pass a good pass.
Never Pass to a Covered Player
Never make a pass to a man who is covered just to get rid of the ball. In lacrosse, passing the ball to a covered player can be a costly […]
Be an Outlet
If an attack man is being ridden hard and can’t dodge or get away – the nearest man on each side goes to help him.
Outside Shooting
On all long shots, a man must be on the crease.
Crease Play
On every screen shot the crease man should check-up on the defense man’s stick, and immediately face the goalie, so that he is ready to bat in a rebound.

After receiving a pass, as the ball moves around the outside, look first at the man who threw you the ball to see what he is doing, then at the […]
After the Pass
If you receive a pass after cutting and haven’t got a good shot, hold onto the ball.
Pick a Corner
Place all shots, usually for a far corner, and shoot hard. When within five yards of the goal, the shot should be for a top corner.
Get it Off the Ground
After picking up a loose ball, turn and face the crease immediately. If nobody is open, move in fast until you are picked up.
