Before you can dream of scoring game-winning goals for your lacrosse team, you need to learn how to properly handle your stick.
Stick range is how you are holding your stick in relation to your body, and it is a crucial step in turning a shot on goal into a ball buried in the back of the net.
“As an offensive player, it is super important to get off all the shots you want to take,” says Kayla Treanor, a former collegiate All-American and professional all-star. “The tighter in the stick is to your body, the lower amount of shots you can get off. The farther away, the more amount of shots you can get off.”
It is key to learn to cradle the ball away from your body to help develop skilled shots like the behind-the-back or between-the-legs.
“One thing that’s helped me to work on my stick range is to work on my forearm and arm strength,” Treanor says.
Work on controlling the ball away from your body, too. Don’t keep your elbows in, but extend them out instead.
