Why You Should being Playing Box Lacrosse to GET BETTER FASTER
MORE TOUCHES Simply put, the more you touch the ball, the better lacrosse player you will become. More Reps= more bang for your buck.
SPEED The speed of the game is faster than field lacrosse. Training in the box will make outdoor seem like slow motion.
STICK SKILLS Playing in close spaces forces your stick skills to be faster and tighter. The boards mean the ball does not go out of play and your reaction to errant bounces improves.
SHOOTING ACCURACY Shooting on a smaller goal (4x4) with a goalie in huge pads trains shooters to move the goalie and find that sliver of net. When you transition to outdoors the 6x6 goal will seem huge.
REACTION TIME A byproduct of playing faster is you have to react faster. That means faster decision making, faster to a ground ball, faster in transition, faster to play the ball, faster to shoot the ball. Train your brain to react faster by playing box.
TRANSITION Transition in box fast and frequent. Players learn to transition from offense to defense and back again in record time.
OFF-BALL MOVEMENT Playing in such a tight area means it is that much harder to get open. Running through people to go to goal just doesn't work. Players learn to cut, pick and keep in constant motion.
DEFENSE-Box teaches players good defensive body positioning and footwork. Defensive players stop relying on their long poles to throw lazy checks and Offense learns they must be counted on to play D in transition.
CONDITIONING- Ask yourself, would you run sprints for an hour to get in shape... likely not. Playing box provides this exercise BUT with a ton of fun!
GOALIES- Goalies see more shots in a shorter amount of time. Their hands and reaction time to shots become quicker.
ITS FUN -Keeps players engaged and motivated while they improve their skills.
Dont take our word for it, here is what some legends had to say
Coach Bill Tierney, University of Denver:
“If I had my choice, I would have every player under the age of 12 play box lacrosse exclusively or at least a majority of the time. The number of touches of the ball and the ability to develop better stick skills in a game of box lacrosse far surpasses what happens on a field. Learning how to pass and catch in traffic, understanding how to shoot, and developing a sense of physicality are all positive traits developed by the box game.”
Paul Rabil:
“Being a part of the finesse and physicality of box lacrosse has been a great experience for me. I feel that I have learned and improved as an overall lacrosse player. Learning to adapt in tight space while reading defenders and offensive players has been the biggest improvement in my game.”
Dom Starsia, University of Virginia:
"When you watch Canadian kids score, when you see their skill level around the cage, you wonder to yourself, Jeez, are we teaching kids [in the U.S.] the wrong things?"
Casey Powell:
“I knew that if I wanted to be one of the best players in the world, I would have to dedicate myself to both the indoor and the outdoor game. Playing indoor lacrosse has been a great thing for my career.”
