The Skill Stick | Backyard Lacrosse Trainer

The Skill Stick is the only stick on the market designed specifically for common lightweight sports balls. Unlike a regulation game stick, The Skill Stick is designed to be compatible in size + weight to maintain feel when dodging, passing, and shooting. Develop soft hands and coordination while catching. This allows for meaningful practice and play without the need of a backstop.  

Outside? Go ahead and rip a shot while your neighbors are watching, it won’t hurt their grill.

Inside? Might as well toss some stress balls into the couch and get some wall-ball reps while watching TV.  Or show off one of your crazy spin moves while you dodge past your family members. 

The result is a lacrosse stick that is incredibly fun to play with, and can be used everyday to develop lacrosse skills around your home.  This is a great indoor/outdoor lacrosse training stick for kids, adults, and quite frankly any age due to its combination of lightweight, flexibility, and strength!

Key Features

The People’s Head is designed to scoop and release shots accurately and smoothly both indoors and outdoors. The design accommodates the diameters of commonly available and inexpensive balls, such as tennis, wiffle, and foam stress balls to be used in the everyday yard and around the house.

Go ahead and buy yourself a bucket of 20 wiffle balls; they’re cheap, they won’t fly too far, and they don’t turn into a bunch of unusable slick greasers like lacrosse balls do.

The People’s Mesh comes preinstalled, and is designed with patent pending technology to interchange quickly, throw consistently (even in poor weather), and can be removed completely to allow for the lacrosse head to be strung in a fashion matching your exact preference.  

Choose between Standard and SUPA Whip.  The more whip, the stronger the hold and the lower the release point.  Generally speaking, more whip is recommended for more experienced players , but it’s also based on personal preference and play style. 

The People’s Shaft (24” long, 5/8” diameter, bamboo) can be replaced, if needed, for a couple of dollars with a 5/8” diameter hardwood dowel rod (oak or ash) from a hardware store or with another bamboo dowel rod. The recommended length is 24” for everyday play. Shafts can be cut smaller to create a fiddle stick (think hockey shinny stick), or lengthened to mimic a defensive pole.

To cap it all off, The People’s Butt End comes with the stick. Nothing too fancy here, but it’s way nicer than the water bottle cap I taped to the bottom of my shaft in college.
