Box Offense Concept: The Half-Pipe Flow In box lacrosse, your off-ball movement should look like you’re skating on a half-pipe. When you go up one wall, you’ve got to come down and go up the other. That same rhythm applies to offensive spacing — you’re constantly cutting and filling. If you fill the shooter spot, your next move is down to the crease. After the crease, you come back up to the shooter. That cycle never stops. You should never be in one spot for more than 3–4 seconds — if you are, you’re clogging the offense. Box is built on timing, rhythm, and constant motion. What separates Canadian and Native box lacrosse players from everyone else is how they see and trust this flow. They’re constantly looking for the player cutting from the shooter spot down to the crease, ready to thread that impossible backside pass. They give it a chance — and you should too. When you cut, keep two hands on your stick. It keeps you balanced, makes you a threat, and lets you fight off checks while staying dangerous. Remember: Every cut must be followed by a fill. Cut → Fill → Cut again. That’s how great offenses keep their rhythm and flow. 🧩 Now — How You Do It Is Everything When you’re coming up the floor into that shooter position, there are a few key things to remember. 1️⃣ You have to be an outlet for the off-ball side. As you fill the shooter spot, have your stick up and ready. Be in a position to catch that ball and operate with your hands free for a second or two. It’s not always about setting up a shot — sometimes you’ll need to move it quickly down to the corner, or swing it back to the ball side if there’s a pick and roll developing. At the highest levels — like in the NLL — the best players do this instinctively. They’re constantly flipping it back, moving it ahead, and creating flow through quick, purposeful touches. 2️⃣ When you’re at that shooter position, it can be intimidating to cut through the middle. There are bodies everywhere, sticks flying, and chaos happening around you. But that’s why you’ve got to go fast — just commit and do it.

“Sunday is for rest…” 😴 said no one who ever accomplished anything. Winners don’t turn it off. They don’t need a break from their purpose. They stay locked in — always thinking, always sharpening, always building. 🧠🔥 Now, yeah — you might need a day off from the gym. You might need rest. But you should never take a day off from your goals. Working toward your goals doesn’t always mean grinding in the same area. If we use lacrosse as the example — it doesn’t have to be about lacrosse every day. Maybe today is about tightening up your grades 📚, cleaning up your nutrition 🍎, or organizing your week so your training and life run smoother. That’s still the work. That’s how you move forward. You’ve got to be working toward your goals constantly — not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Because that’s the real journey: learning to love the process. Not waiting until you “make it” to feel fulfilled… but finding pride, peace, and purpose in the grind itself. That’s the process of life. That’s how confidence is built — through consistency, reflection, and refusing to drift. So yeah, rest your body when you need to. But never rest your vision. Stay obsessed with progress. Stay connected to your purpose. Because confidence doesn’t come from wishing — it comes from working until your belief system says, “I’m built for this.” 💯

There’s a difference between shooting and finishing the ball. Shooting is simply throwing the ball toward the net and hoping it finds its way in. Finishing, on the other hand, is an art — it’s about having strategies in place to beat the goalie, create angles, and put the ball exactly where you want it. If you want to take the next step in your game, you need to develop these three core finishes 👇 1️⃣ The Quick Stick The most reduced version of any skill — just catch and throw. Box lacrosse moves too fast for cradles, so your ability to quick stick in tight spaces determines how dangerous you are around the crease. If you can’t quick stick consistently, start there. 2️⃣ The Short-Far (Short-Side Fake → Far-Side Finish) This is your bread-and-butter fake. Throw a short-side fake to make the goalie bite, then step or reach across the crease and finish far side. It forces the goalie to move post-to-post and opens up high-percentage scoring opportunities. 3️⃣ The Twister Instead of adding multiple fakes, use body and stick control to shoot from the opposite shoulder. The twister teaches you to release from different angles — a critical skill as defenders close the middle. 🎥 Watch the video below to see each finish in action. If you can consistently execute these three, you’re no longer a beginner — you’re stepping into the intermediate box lacrosse skill range. Once these are part of your toolkit, you’ll start to see how many layers there really are to finishing. 📝 Prompt: Which of these three finishes feels the hardest for you right now — and why?

When I was younger, I used to think dodging was all about blowing by my man. If I could just run faster, I’d win the matchup. Now I know… elite dodgers don’t just run — they manipulate. They move the defender first, then attack the space that opens up to get their hands free and finish. Here are 3 simple ways to manipulate defenders better 👇 1️⃣ Pump Fake More Often 🫧 Count the number of pump fakes you use every shift. Then try to increase it. Whether it’s with the ball in your stick or mid-dodge, use pump fakes to freeze defenders and buy yourself time and space. The best offensive players are constantly selling something. 2️⃣ Widen + Lower Your Base 💪 In box lacrosse, getting your feet wider and hips lower is a game-changer. It helps you absorb contact, hold your line, and turn the corner into higher-percentage scoring areas 🎯 If you’re too upright, defenders can bump you off your path easily. Get low, get strong, and drive through. 3️⃣ Vary Your Speed + Tempo 🌀 You don’t have to go full speed every dodge. In fact… you shouldn’t. Mix up your speeds: - 🟢 Stop → Go - 🟡 Sprint → Jog - 🔴 Cut → Re-cut Changing tempo keeps defenders guessing and gives you control of the matchup. 📝 Takeaway Dodging ≠ just speed 🏃‍♂️💨 Dodging = manipulation, deception, and tempo 🎭 Start layering these 3 elements into your game this week. You’ll find yourself creating more space, freezing defenders, and getting to better scoring spots. 👇 Drop a comment with which one of these you’re going to focus on first.
