The PERFECT defensive footwork drill
Don't drop the ball...
Whether you’re a defender, attacker, midfielder… or just working to become a complete lacrosse player, this Triangle Agility Drill is perfect for you.
Instead of breaking up footwork training into separate drills, this one combines all the key movements into a single flow. It challenges your body to move in every direction you’ll need in a game — and builds efficiency, speed, and confidence.
Here’s what it includes:
✅ Shuffling
✅ Side-Runs
✅ Closing Out
✅ Back-Pedals
✅ Sprinting
➡️ Bonus: Catching a ball with one bounce to keep your stick skills sharp under pressure!
This drill is all about getting game-like reps in a short amount of time.
Here’s the schematic:
