The document outlines several shooting drills for lacrosse players, including step down shooting, shooting on the run, attack dodging with footwork, mid triangle shooting, inside finishing, money ball shooting, and dodge-pass-pass drills. The drills involve catching and passing, footwork through cones, dodging, rolling away from pressure, and finishing shots on the move with proper form and footwork. Variations are suggested such as adding a goalie or pressure to make the drills more game-like.
