Lacrosse Shots - Lacrosse Shooting Techniques

1) To start with, your shoulders need to be perpendicular to the goal when you shoot. This will give you better balance when you shoot and allow you to square up and have a stronger shot. (Also it makes it harder to get knocked down.) The second thing to note: when you shoot with your right hand, you should lead with their left foot. Also, left handed shooting should be led into with your right foot.

2) Hand positioning is next: Hands should be closer together than when you pass or catch. While shooting a lacrosse ball make sure to have your bottom hand on the end of the stick and your top hand a little lower on the stick than you would traditionally have it when you throw or catch. This will allow you to have more leverage and speed when you throw. Also, make sure to use the power in your hips and abs: This will give you more power when you shoot the ball and enable you to throw the ball in your stick faster.

3) Aiming in lacrosse shooting: Look for four white corners of the net. Where you look is probably where you will shoot. For this reason, don't look at the goalie when you shoot. You can also aim for the goalie's weak side - in other words, the side without the stick. Try to aim for the top or bottom corners.
