The dive shot

Lacrosse Shooting: Dive and Shoot

Diving across the front of the crease is one of the most exciting ways to score a goal. Nothing looks more impressive than a dive shot. You should definitely practice this move so you have it your arsenal. There are a couple of key things to remember when setting up or attempting a dive shot. The first key is that you must get “inside” your defender, putting your body between him and the goal. The next step is to run at an angle towards the top of the crease, not directly towards the side of the goal. The last step is to dive in the same direction that you’re running, towards the top of the crease, and shoot the ball while in the air.
