Things You'll Need:
- Lacrosse ball
- Lacrosse stick
-
Step 1
Gain control of the ball in the netting of the lacrosse stick. Cradle the ball so that it rises up in the netting toward the top of the head. This will give you greater control of the ball.
-
Step 2
Step toward where you’re throwing the ball. If it’s a teammate, step toward the player. If it’s the goal, step toward the defending goalie.
-
Step 3
Begin whipping your top hand forward, snapping the lacrosse stick with it. The head should be traveling in a line toward the object of your throw.
-
Step 4
Stop when the lacrosse stick is parallel to the ground. The stick should now be pointing at the object of your throw. If it’s a pass, the stick should be pointing at a teammate’s lacrosse stick head. If it’s a shot, the stick should be pointing at a part of the goal that the goalie is not blocking.
-
Step 5
The ball is now thrown. Continue running so that you can get the ball back if your throw was a pass. Your teammate might want to throw the ball back to you.
