How Women’s Lacrosse Players Can Cash in on 8-Meter Opportunities

There are certain scoring opportunities in lacrosse that are more advantageous than others. If you’re more of a beginner and aren’t totally sure about what the 8-meter arc is, then we’re here to break it down for you and how it relates to women’s lacrosse.

When an offensive player is fouled during the middle of a lacrosse game, they’re placed at one of the seven hash marks eight meters from the goal that’s the closest spot to where the foul occurred. Players inside the arc must clear out and be at least four meters away from the player [Read More>]

What Does it Take to Be a Tough Lacrosse Player?

thewixdr2025-01-07T16:36:45+00:00

Depending on who you ask, the definition of toughness in the world of sports varies based on the situation. What one person thinks is toughness may or may not cross over into other sports. Even if an athlete seems to be naturally tough, it’s a quality that has to get honed over a period of time for it to really make a difference on the field or court.

Whenever we’re in the heat of the moment, athletes believe that they’re tough – until they use the benefit of hindsight to see that they could’ve been much tougher [Read More>]

The old adage is that practice makes perfect, but it’s also true when we spin it the other way around. Lacrosse season can be a grind, so it’s not unusual for some bad habits to form along the way. The biggest key that we try to hit on at our Connecticut Lacrosse Camps each summer is to nip those bad habits in the bud as quickly as possible so they can become a distant memory.

This is likely part of the reason why GameBreaker Lacrosse Camps are viewed as the national leader for lax instruction [Read More>]

4 Lacrosse Tips to Shut Down Opponents on Defense

Having a good defensive group on a lacrosse team is just as effective as having a good offense. In some cases, being good on defense is more important because it doesn’t matter how many goals your squad scores in a given game – if you can’t stop your opponent from also finding the back of the net, it’ll be awfully hard to walk away with a victory. There’s also a certain kind of confidence and opposing attacker displays when it’s known by everyone that they can blow by a defender and score at their own will.

In today’s world of youth sports, it feels like it’s just as popular to specialize in one sport as it is to play multiple sports throughout the year. When comparing these two options together, it may actually be more beneficial for competitive athletes to play sports other than their “top” one.

Why is that, exactly? Well, doing so allows them to get a mental break from the daily grind any sport can have on an athlete. Playing a different sport forces an athlete to think in a different way, which can translate to other athletic endeavors at the end of the [Read More>]

We talk a lot about becoming a better lacrosse player and reaching your full potential. Since we’re talking about an athletic endeavor, most of the work that’s necessary to have success on the field is physical.

After all, you can’t expect to get better and reach new heights without putting in the work. However, if a lacrosse player is going to stay involved in the game for a long period of time – like a number of years – it’s important to take regular breaks.

There’s nothing wrong with being all lacrosse, all the time if a youth player is the one driving [Read More>]
