Transition Play: Fast Break Offense
Transition Play: Fast Break Offense
Lacrosse is a fast game and being able to score in transition – when the defense is unsettled – is critical to success. This lacrosse drill details a great way to set up an offensive formation to take advantage of fast breaks.
This video is one of over fifty great lacrosse drills in our training series, Coaching Youth Lacrosse: Beginner and Intermediate.
This looks really great and something coaches can easily use for drills with the younger kids. Your video segments were perfect… quick and to the point.
