Year 7 Lacrosse Activities
1 Unit · 6 Lessons · 28 Activities
🥍
Small group practice where pairs of attackers work together to beat a single defender, developing partnership play, decision-making, and attacking principles
🥍
Dynamic warm-up where students practice cradling, dodging and passing under time pressure with a 4-second possession limit
🥍
Small groups navigate a compass-point circle system, moving from starting positions through a central dodging point to opposite positions whilst maintaining ball possession through cradling
🥍
Students establish personal shooting accuracy baseline by taking 10 shots (5 from left approach, 5 from right approach) while focusing on technical shooting mechanics and peer assessment
🥍
Fast-paced competitive team game where numbered players race to ball in centre and compete 1v1 to score, combining reaction speed, ball control, and attacking/defending skills
🥍
Lacrosse-specific drill where students start behind the goal and must run around to shoot from front within a time limit, developing unique behind-goal positioning and quick shooting decisions
🥍
A dynamic partner activity where one student (mouse) cradles a ball while evading a chasing partner (cat), developing stick control during movement
🥍
Dynamic warm-up where pairs protect a bib from a catcher in small groups
🥍
Students cradle while moving to directional calls, progressing from walking to jogging while maintaining possession
🥍
Students practice shooting after dodging past defenders, progressing from passive to active defence while developing feinting techniques and shooting under pressure
🥍
Creative tag game where students dribble hockey balls while avoiding 'Death Eaters' trying to tag their ball. Includes rescue element with Harry, Ron and Hermione characters freeing frozen players
🥍
Partner practice activity developing advanced Indian dribbling technique through figure-8 cone patterns and slalom courses with peer coaching
🥍
All students dribble balls in an area while trying to knock others' balls out while protecting their own
🥍
Whole-class possession challenge where students continuously move whilst cradling their ball in a defined area. If ball is dropped, complete a forfeit before returning. Area progressively reduces increasing pressure until one King/Queen of the Court remains.
🥍
Groups of three work together to achieve 9 successful catches with progressive role rotation, focusing on catching technique and accuracy under friendly competition
🥍
Students develop peripheral vision and spatial awareness by navigating across a square whilst avoiding collisions with others crossing from different directions
🥍
Small group game where 4 players around a circle pass to keep ball away from 1 defender in the middle who attempts to intercept
🥍
Modified lacrosse game with uneven teams to develop tactical understanding of numerical advantage and disadvantage
🥍
Round-robin tournament format where teams of 5 play multiple 7-minute Pop Lacrosse games with tactical review breaks between matches
🥍
Dynamic warm-up where students scoop balls from hoops (nests) and must run back to their partner whilst keeping the ball in their stick, discovering the challenge that leads to learning cradling technique
🥍
Structured zone-based game where 3 attackers attempt to pass and dribble through 3 defended zones to reach the end, with defenders restricted to their zones
🥍
Dynamic game where defenders (sharks) use jab tackles to knock balls out of a grid while dribblers shield and maintain possession
🥍
Individual skill practice where students throw the ball upward from their stick and catch it, developing cushioning technique and hand-eye coordination
🥍
Structured 90-second team discussion where students reflect on performance, identify improvements, and plan tactical changes between games
