“SPRINT BASED LACROSSE” is the ninth course of an ambitious “Feed the Cats certification program created by Tony Holler.
Feed the Cats is a revolutionary way of training, coaching,
and teaching that values specificity, essentialism, performance, and
love. After gaining a world-wide following in Track & Field, FTC has
now gained a strong foothold in American football.
This presentation rocked the lacrosse world at the IMLCA
National Clinic held in December of 2020. Tony Holler is the first
presenter at IMLCA to never hold a lacrosse stick… yet the presentation
got rave reviews.
“Sprint Based Lacrosse” takes an overview of the
traditional approach to sport training (lift weights and get tired every
day), and turns it upside down. Feed the Cats is the name of the new
model and speed is the priority. The foundation of that speed is rest,
recovery, and sleep.

Lacrosse is a fast moving sport, and it is also fast growing.
If you or someone you know yearns to learn how to play lacrosse, the
following procedures briefs you on the basics of this sport. But first,
let us take a good short look about lacrosse.
Each opposing teams on a lacrosse field is composed of 10 players, so
a field has a total of 20 players. Each team is composed of 3
attackmen, 3 middies, 3 defensemen and 1 goalie.
A game is divided into 4 quarters like basketball, and like all other
games, the team scoring the most points at the end of the game emerge
as winner.
A player earns a score by shooting the ball from their stick’s pocket into the opponent team’s goal.
The lacrosse ball is a solid rubber ball about the size of a baseball.
An opponent team can dispossess you of your ball either by hitting
you with their stick or with their body. A player has to cradle to
prevent the ball from falling out.
It is important that a middie make an outside shooting. The defense
can shift their game completely if threatened by a good outside
shooting.
A player who has the ball can get past the defenseman by using different dodges such as face doge, split dodge, and bull dodge.
The procedures below outlines step by step the proper way of playing lacrosse.
CHOOSING YOUR STICK. A branded lacrosse stick is quite expensive. If
you just want to learn how to play, go to your local sports store, where
a basic stick won’t cost you as much as a branded stick. There are
three main components of a stick. The Head- this is the piece at the top
of the stick used for controlling the ball. The Mesh- this is the rope
suff inside the head, also known as the stringing. Finally, The Shaft-
it was traditionally made out of wood, but nowadays they are made of
strong metal alloys and have varying weights and strength. If your right
hand is your good hand, put your left hand on the bottom and right hand
on top. Switch for your left hand.
LEARN HOW TO CRADLE. A necessary skill that is important to lacrosse
is cradling, which is the equivalent of dribbling in basketball.
Cradling is the technique of getting past the defense man without him
taking the ball out of your stick. Use centripetal force to keep your
ball in place by a curling motion with your wrist. This is best done in
front of a mirror while starting. Place the ball in your pocket (the
area where the ball sits in your mesh) and hold your dominant hand a few
inches below the head. Begin with the head facing the mirror so you can
see the ball. Now bring the head across your face while curling the
wrist. Keep practicing until you are get used to it. If you find it hard
to get the hang of it, try watching some lacrosse dvds until you are
familiar with all the game’s moves and techniques.
LEARN TO PASS. In lacrosse, passing is one of the most critical
skills to succeed in the game. Passing is used to move the ball up
field, catch your opponent out of position while hitting your teammate
for an assist, or get yourself out of pressure. Make the head next to
your ear and ruffle your wrist of your top while pulling your bottom
hand towards you. Don't let it hook around your neck. Be sure to go
through with the motion. Eventually, you will get used to how your stick
throws and can then adjust the way you throw to be more accurate. You
can imp[rove your skills in lacrosse by is getting to a brick wall and
playing "wall ball." stand a few feet from the wall and throw the ball
against it. Practice catching as the ball bounces back towards you.
BE A GOOD CATCHER. Catching is about hand-eye coordination. Catch
the ball in your stick and make sure you don't cradle as it enters your
stick. This is called cradle catching and is done by beginners. Instead
of cradling, just release your grip on your top hand and as the ball
enters the stick give and ease the ball into the stick. Again, wall ball
practice is recommended.
GAMES ARE WON AND LOST IN GROUND BALLS, that's a fact. While
approaching the ball step to it place your foot near the ball. Sink your
hips and put your head parallel to the ground. The butt of your stick
have to get down low as well. Scoop through and bring the head to your
face. Immediately look for an outlet to a team mate.
PASS, CATCH. AND CRADLE USING BOTH HANDS. Using both hands requires
patience, and you have to practice over and over again to learn this
skill. A good way to improve your off-hand skills is to look at what
your dominant hand is doing. Mirror the way you are passing. Go through
the same motions. After doing this, spend a week of practice using
nothing but your non-dominant hand. During line drills, 6v6, fast break,
only use your off-hand. This will be very frustrating, but keep doing
it. It will go a long way in improving your skills.

If you
look at the numbers, it’s safe to say that the sport of Lacrosse
continues to be a growing sport. In the United States alone,
participation grew over 3% in 2017 with over 825,000 people playing the
sport. That was the 12th consecutive year of growth with a net increase
of at least 20,000 players each of those years. Participants include
boys, girls and men and women from the youth level up to the high school
and collegiate years.
With the increase comes the need for
more knowledgeable coaches who can teach the game the right way. Sure,
some coaches have played the game and have a good idea of the types of
drills and practice sessions needed. But for the more beginning level
coaches, it’s helpful to have some drills to fall back on that can help
improve your team. Here are five drills that we think can help.
Catching Drills
Catching
drills are important because throwing and receiving are such important
parts of the game. Start with some stationary drills between paired up
players. Have them make some throws and catches from their left side and
then their right side until they are comfortable.
Move to
catching drills where the players are running. They need to learn to
throw and catch while on the move while also alternating between their
right and left hands.
Finally, have them practice making
poor throws so it’s more difficult to make the catch. This will get them
practicing extending to catch passes or moving their stick from one
side to the other.
Clearing Drills
Goalies
need to practice making clearing passes after a save. Practice this by
having one player shoot the ball while another moves downfield towards
the midfield line to receive the pass from the goalie. You can start
with the goalies making passes to stationary players and then change it
up by having receivers on the move catching the goalie passes.
Ground Balls Drill
Pair
players up and roll a ball so that each player has an equal chance to
get it. The goal is to have them battle for the ball and not allow the
other player to win it. Some tips here is for players to practice using
their body to box out the other and gain possession or kicking the ball
loose from a scrum to get a better advantage. This drill will teach
players how to aggressively gain possession of the ball for their team.
Cradling Drills
Have
players cradle the ball while running down the field. First using both
hands and then switching to one hand and alternating between each hand.
This is needed when a player needs to ward off a defender with their
opposite hand.
Shooting Drills
These
can be done in a variety of different ways to simulate game conditions.
They should practice shooting on the move going to both their left and
right, and sometimes with a defender in front of them. They can also
practice shooting after scooping a ball off the ground or when coming
from around the back of the net. You can also use cones to add specific
target areas for players to improve accuracy.

We believe that the best way to grow the lacrosse is by empowering lacrosse coaches with the knowledge that will make them successful. Lacrosse is growing so fast that the number of coaches with lacrosse experience is overshadowed by the number of teams to coach. Many places rely on parent volunteers who may not have any experience with lacrosse. We create lacrosse coaching videos that all coaches can watch for free on YouTube and Facebook. Also, many of our videos are paired with a PDF Book this course....
