Instructional Video of the Week: Lacrosse Catching Fundamentals
Great video from Tier Lacrosse on basic lacrosse catching fundamentals which supports the previous post about deep bag pockets creating bad habits in young lacrosse players. This is especially important for Northern lacrosse players, many of whom I see snatching and twisting the ball out of the air when they catch. This video emphasizes the importance of catching the ball with soft hands. Just watching the first few minutes is very educational for young players.

Instructional Video of the Week: Shooting on the Run Paul Rabil Highlights
Some video highlights of Paul Rabil shooting on the run. Rabil is arguably the best on-the-run shooter in the game of lacrosse. Watching him shoot on the run in slow motion, freeze frame and from different angles is very instructional.

Instructional Video of the Week: Shooting on the Run
Shooting on the run is critical in lacrosse as the majority of a midfielders or attackmans shots will come off the run. Midfielders especially have to be adept at shooting on the run as they come off a dodge heading towards the goal. The following videos do a pretty good job showing good technique for shooting on the run.

Instructional Video of the Week: Good Shooting Form - Time and Room
The following video does a great job describing and showing good shooting form. It nicely goes though a shot step-by-step and in slow motion describing and showing proper shooting technique and form. Another good thing for new players to watch is how softly Smith receives the pass. He doesn't keep the stick outstretched for long, but "gives" a little as the ball arrives in his stick and he's ready to shoot quickly. This is proper technique that is very clear in slow motion and many young players haven't yet mastered. It's well worth watching for both new players and those who've played the game for a while. We think it's one of the best shooting instructional videos out there. Check it out:
