Best Cross Training

[NC-LACROSSE]

Alot of people cross train for lacrosse I play Volley Ball and Football. What do you all play, and which one do you think is the best and why?

Sorry it took awhile to get the poll up re-poll if you want to.

you can put more than one choice

Swimming.
Sailing (I guess that builds strength too, so it'd help in lax, but I don't do it just for lacrosse.)

Hockey, Football, and of course ping-pong.

1. Hockey helps a ton with a lot of aspects of lacrosse.

2. Football I find doesn't help as much as hockey but its a fun way to get through the fall. No fallball in my town :(

3. Ping-pongs good for reflexes and footwork.

I play football and basketball. Football because i like hitting things, and basketball for conditioning right before spring.

just post your cross training, the poll wasnt the main point.

I said swimming ... cuz of course arm/ shoulder muscles is very important however each options are very efficient ways to improve... Currently I'm doing track which speeds up my middie game. For those who play defense go for football or weight training. Etc... a mixture of them all is of course a productive workout.

I lift, run, and am trying to get more explosive. But I mostly lift.

Wrestling is also good cross-training.


The more and more i think about it, the more i think badmitton would be a good cross-training sport. Those guys are suuuuppper quick. Plus, they need strong wrists to hit that birdy 200 mph. Can you say faster shot?

You run a lot in soccer. Gets your endurance up for lacrosse season.

i think that cross country is the best training. With that and working out you will be in a mazing shape. I did it for the first time. and for fallball my endurance was unmatched. It helps you run faster and go for longer

I think basketball is good too, I think it should be up there.
