Crucial Exercises for Lacrosse Goalies

Exercises For Lacrosse Goal Keepers 1. Squats Squats work many muscles throughout your leg. These muscles are crucial for goalies to be able to hold their position while in the goal and also explode towards the ball. Start by squatting without additional weight and work your way up to adding the amount of weight you feel comfortable with. Try to do 2-3 reps of 25 without weight. This number can be lowered once weight is added. 2. Agility Ladder  Since you are in the goal, you do not need to have the fastest mile on the team, but you should be able to move the quickest around a 6ft goal.

Women's Lacrosse Goalie Gloves So you need some goalie gloves ay? Well you came to the right place. Women's lacrosse goalies use the same gloves as men's goalies do. Good goalie gloves are needed for protection of the fingers and hand. As a goalie, you put yourself at the risk of getting hit in the thumb by a fast moving lacrosse ball. Below are some gloves I personally recommend. STX Lacrosse Women's Sultra Goalie Glove Although I said Goalie gloves for men's and women's lacrosse, this is the exception.
