Wall Ball Training

One of the easiest and most tried true methods of getting better at lacrosse is playing wall ball. Although it may seem basic and simple, the wall can provide players of all ages and skill levels with beneficial results and difficult challenges. From beginners of the game to professional players, wall ball has been a proven test of one's passing and catching ability, a cornerstone to the game of lacrosse.

Wall Ball Challenge

The Wall Ball Challenge presents a timed assessment for players to execute a specific wall ball routine within a designated duration. This challenge serves as an effective gauge of a player's stick skills and proficiency. Successful completion within the allotted time frame showcases a player's capabilities and improvement in passing and catching abilities. It offers participants a metric to measure their progress and overall performance. All players within our program are expected to accomplish the requisite time as per their grade level. Please review the details below for specific directions, rules, and time requirements. Best of luck to all participants undertaking this challenge.
