Hello this is my first post! I am a freshman in highshool and this will be my forth year in lacrosse. I wanted to know besides lifting and taking shots on goal what else can i do to help get a faster shot, is there a better form i could use? please help!

ya use KISS (keep it simple stupid) trow over the top and follow through just make it as textbook as possible if you dont it will sacrifice speed and accuracy remember KISS

I too am a freshman and have been searching for a shot. I have started using a somewhat modified version of a crankshot. Take 2 or 3 stutter steps with your hips lined up with the goal, and fling the crap out of your stick, from the hip.

Sorry...the answer is what you're not looking for...repetition, getting your muscles to the point that the movements are natural. Work with your coach to make sure your form is solid...and then just start shooting away.

Also practicing in full gear is far more effective then just throwing against a wall...I see way too many new guys never wearing helmets and rarely wearing gloves in wall drills. Makes a big difference. Practice like you play.

Inside Lacrosse - Shooting: Learn the proper mechanics

^^ that's the best article on form I've seen, try to follow it as well as possible, and your shot should be a lot faster.

The main is just practice. Go take more shots, and keep your elbows up.
