How do I cradle? I have the gear, but I want to get better. How can I practice on my own? Good questions! Take a look at this video. These six skills are MANDATORY for Varsity players at Aliso Niguel HS and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for any girls who would like to quickly develop as lacrosse players. Grab your stick and your ball, watch the various videos on this site, and practice the moves you see to get comfortable with your stick. Once you master these basics, practice them on the run and while playing catch with a friend or against a wall (Wall Ball).
Thanks very much to Coach Christa and Bounce Entertainment for this cut from her excellent Stickies I and II videos. If you would like more information about where to buy your own set of videos with much more detailed stickwork and training ideas, please contact Coach Elkins by email.
