How to Shoot a Lacrosse Ball
Спорт
Samir from The Lacrosse Network shows you one way to learn how to shoot a lacrosse ball. BEEF is a 4 letter acronym that helps you learn and understand the mechanics of shooting.
Balance
Eyes
Elbows
Footwork and follow through
Everyone has their own preferences when shooting and you'll learn that over time, the best way to become a great shooter is to spend time shooting and watching gametape of others shooting.

A question no one ever covers when doing these videos. So before you shoot, it looks like a bottom hand cradle, I see every player that's good do what looks like a bottom hand cradle during their wind up.

It comes with playing. It takes awhile to get used to it’s just something to work on in your free time. Even tho I’m seven years too late lmao.
Wow. Samir does have the most viewed lacrosse shot how-to video on KZread
Very true, shooting has to be a natural motion, thanks for the comment
Helped a ton with my arms and shooting high, thanks so much man
Thank to you guys I'll be a good attacker Ithis is my first couple months playing I have only alil while to practice for my senior year hs lax team this vid helped a lot
Hey thats Glendale high school! Had some good games at that place!
Glendale HS baby, games start again on sunday!
YO THATS MY OLD HIGH SCHOOL LOL , Glendale High 🙌🏼🙌🏼
"look at the net while shooting" Aww damn I like to close my eyes when I shoot.
Thanks man awesome video
great video
Try practicing on the wall - pass the ball against the wall and when you do make sure the head of your stick never goes lower than the but of your stick. If you do that, the ball can't fall out!
looooooooooooove the epic outro music!
this was my very first lacrosse video i’ve ever watched and now it’s sad to see an end to samir and colin
It's your wind up. Basically do a "motor-cycle start" motion with your bottom hand, it's helpful for many reasons like keeping the ball in the pocket and overall looking badass.
Thanks samir first pratice was today and i sniped it today cuz of this vid
Set up cones or mark a spot where you want to improve your shot from. Have someone pass you a ball and get a quick shot off. Or set up different cones and dodge/run through them then score
I liked lacrosse, here in Brazil and only soccer and volleyball, I hope one day I can play
Shoutout to Coach Joe Campbell and Glendale High School for letting us film there and for hosting pick up every sunday!
thx that really helped
Great video!! Great explanation!! Definitely going to share this one!!
so how do we do the little cradling maneuver during the follow through?
I've heard/used this speech before. Coach Sam Wise teaching the ways.
when your shooting you may be hanging your stick to low when winding up so when you are winding up try to make sure your stick is positioned higher in the air.
Biggie smalls asked "Whats BEEF?" Well, Samir has the answer...
what the hell is that little wavy thing he's doing when he's prepping to release the ball? that's what I need to know.

He's just winding up. Everyone does it differently. It doesn't make your shot any better.
Oh , it's my highschool. Glendale High School which is GHS! GO DYNAMITES WOOOO!!!!
How do you do that little cradle at 3:04 - 3:05 please someone tell me, from one laxer to another :)
10 stars all the way
any tips on shooting with a long pole? overhand seems too inconsistent.
My coach taught me to slide my hands down the stick as i shoot over hand. Help?
How often do you guys play there?
witch foot you step front when you shoot ?
thanks
He's practicing with his gloves off.... HE'S PRACTICING WITH HIS GLOVES OFF

I'm relatively new to lacrosse and I got a quick question: How come some people cradle with their lower hand on the stick when they are in the shooting position. When a person's stick is behind them, up in the air, almost behind them, and i see some players cradling with their bottom hand. Is it important you cradle with your lower hand?

it just makes sure the ball is settled. if you cradle with ur top hand in shooting position you lose way too much power and end up in bad form
illegal pocket but AWESSSSOOOOMMMMEEEE VIDEO. My shot was always a foot off the goal post

Okay SweetGear, I see you with that #42
Samir looks so young!!!!!
What cleats are those?
Strongest foot :) Or whichever is closest to the goal I think :)
song at the end?
So all you need to do to pick a corner is look at it but it doesn't work so for instance let's say I wanted to roof the shot left or right I have to keep my eyes on the corner of the net if someone could help me I would appreciate

One thing every tut forgets is to tell people to stay loose so that it is a strong fluid motion instead of a stiff motin.
Where I live there isn't any lacrosse and its boring cuz I want to play it

Amateur Hour if you want to break one of your bones
To keep the ball in your stick while shooting and cradling in the same time you need to deepen your pocket
Why is Samir teaching how to shoot?
Glendale High School?

I played with 42 in Summer League, but for fall ball I might be 13. Ya "Unlucky 13"..lmao
string a pocket with more hold/whip. it will change the release point of the ball but you just have to adjust to it.
Eff yeah. Go NITROS!!!
