Think “ultimate frisbee” with lacrosse sticks-- players are only allowed to take three steps with the ball before they must pass. If they don’t pass within three seconds of stopping, they turn the ball over to the other team.


10 Min Laxketball

While playing basketball kids inherently realize that they must move off ball in order to receive a pass. In addition setting picks seems more natural and good ball movement with passes to the open man come naturally. This drill gets kids on a basketball court with their lacrosse sticks in a situation where it is not easy to score. Coaches should enforce the importance of passing to the open man.

  • Divide the kids into two equal teams, dividing long poles across the teams
  • Kids shall play with their helmets and gloves on and will use tennis balls
  • Coach shall use a full length basketball court and play 5 on 5
  • Start the game with a girls faceoff draw
  • Play regular basketball

Rules

  • No stick checks, defense should be played with your feet
  • No body checks, if the ball is on the ground, coach can stop play to make sure injuries don't occur
  • Players can block passes without hitting the opponents stick
  • If a stick check occurs while shooting, its considered a shooting violation and the player shall get two free throw
  • Since scoring will be low, with free throws, if the first one goes in, the player does not shoot the second one
