What are some good Wall Ball locations? And can I do it at home?

There are several local spots where you can practice Wall Ball. Here is a Port Moody Wall Ball Map of some of the best locations we found.

You can also get your own re-bounder for around $220 from Lacrosse Experts in Coquitlam and do this in your own garage/street out of the rain.

How can I learn about Wall ball technique?

Here are some videos to watch to help hone Wall Ball technique:

For Best Results:

Find a flat brick or concrete wall at least 10 feet high.
Always wear gloves and your helmet when you are performing your routine – you play with gloves and a cage, so practice with them!
Always have a target – find a mark on the wall or put up a piece of tape (make a small tape square if you can)
Stand 5-7 meters away from the wall
Do this at least 2 – 3 times per week and develop a routine!
Spend at least 15 mins / ideally 30 mins. If you finish all drills in less than 15 minutes, repeat drills starting with the drill that challenged you the most
Have fun!

Suggested Lacrosse Wall Ball Drills:

Quick stick – 50 reps (no cradle) off the wall, catch and throw (no bounce)
Catch then one quick cradle – (no bounce)
Throw to target – let bounce and catch (50 reps)
Bounce before the wall so ball goes up – catch before allowing it to bounce back (50 reps)
Develop your own drills (be creative not repetitive!)
