Shuttle Passing (Basic) Lacrosse Drill Diagram

Drill Setup

  • Split players into two lines facing each other, about 10-15 yards apart.
  • Each line should have a few balls nearby.
  • This drill can be ran in several groups simultaneously.

Drill Execution

  1. The first Player in the line starts the drill by stepping forward and passing the ball to the first Player in the opposite line.
  2. After making the pass, the Player will follow their pass and join the opposite line.
  3. The Player receiving the ball will then pass to the new first Player in the opposite line, follow their pass, and join the rear of the opposite line.
  4. The drill runs continously in this pattern.

Coaching Points

  • Crisp Passes: Focus on throwing accurate, catchable passes.
  • Constant Movement: Players should be in constant motion, following their passes to keep the drill flowing.
  • Communication: Encourage players to call for the ball and communicate with their partners.

Variations

  • Increase Distance: Spread the lines further apart to work on longer passes.
  • Ground Balls: Roll the ball on the ground instead of passing through the air.
  • Off Hand: Require players to use their non-dominant hand for passing and catching.
  • Second Man: See the drill page for Shuttle Passing (Second Man).
