Lacrosse Shooting and how to Shoot Lacosse

Did you ever want to know how to shoot a lacrosse ball better?

Well here are five different steps to help you get started, improve your game, and shoot a lacrosse ball better.

In lacrosse shooting, there are two type of very effective lacrosse shots: Corner shots & Bounce shots. Corner shots are purposefully intended for the open corner of the lacrosse net. Practice makes perfect. Top right corner is a sweet spot because it is a little more difficult for right handed goalies. Practice as often as you can and try it out in the next game.

Bounce shots should bounce two to three feet in front of the goalie. Ideally, like to aim for the side of the goal and bring the ball in at about the goalies mid section or else try and bounce it into the corners. A nice hard bounce shot is difficult to block. With a ground shot you can aim for the sides, corners or right between the goalie's legs.

3 Things You Should Know About Lacrosse Shooting

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.
