Voorhees Boys Lacrosse Training Information
Strength Training
Voorhees Lacrosse will emphasize strength training, mobility, agility, and conditioning. Although our lacrosse skills are important, to be successful in the sport of lacrosse (and most sports) one must have the mental and physical strength and endurance to compete at a high level. Players will be conditioned in and out of season to build and maintain the strength needed to be successful on the field. This will also help prevent injury to players. Below players can find workouts that cater to their needs at different points in their performance seasons.
Below you will find a link to a calendar schedule of lifting session times that have been allocated for our lacrosse team to train in the fall and winter. There will be a coach present to supervise and assist players. This calendar is updated weekly. It is imperative that we continue to enhance our athleticism in the offseason.

Wall Ball Routine
Wall ball is an important part of any player’s development. Wall ball is an excellent practice that every player can perform on their own with minimal resources. All a player needs is their stick, a wall, and a ball. Check out our wall ball routine and remember the fundamentals below.
Voorhees Lacrosse Wall Ball Routine
All positions can benefit from wall ball
- Goalie: The quarterback on the clear. Outlets need to be precise and accurate. Need to be able to have stick skills while under pressure on the clear.
- Defense: Defenders with good stickwork = high clearing % and ability to play fast and run in transition
- Midfield: Responsible for stickwork in clearing as well as the offensive end of the field
- Attack: Self explanatory, need to have the best sticks on the team
How to get the most out of wall ball sessions
- Catch and throw in a triple threat position (opposite hip faces wall, NOT toes)
- Catch, 1 cradle, throw, Catch, 1 cradle, throw, etc.
- Keep feet moving, on toes, feet never flat
- Keep stick up and tight
- Focus on overhand, fundamental
- Complete routine as quickly as possible (time yourself for a challenge/try to beat previous time
