Lax Sak Practice Lacrosse Balls - Soft Same-Size Training Balls 12

In this review of the Lax Sak Soft Practice Lacrosse Balls, the bottom line is simple: these are training balls built to lower the intimidation factor while keeping the feel of a regulation lacrosse ball. They are aimed at youth players, new lacrosse athletes, and coaches running indoor or gym drills who want a softer ball that still matches regulation size and weight. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of authentic weight with a softer, shock-absorbing outer fabric that reduces pain on contact and limits bounce, so practices stay focused and safer.

Key Features

• Same size and weight: Matches the dimensions and heft of a regulation lacrosse ball so stick handling and shooting translate to game play.
• Softer outer fabric: The shock-absorbent cover makes the ball less intimidating for beginners and reduces sting when hit.
• Reduced bounce and rebounds: Designed to limit rollaway and minimize rebound time so players spend more time practicing and less time chasing balls.
• Indoor and outdoor use: Safe for hardwood gym floors and usable on outdoor surfaces, making these balls versatile for different training environments.
• Good for goalie drills: Easier to scoop and less painful to take at close range, useful for goalie reaction and stick work training.

Who It's For

This set is best for youth teams, new players, and coaches who need a safer indoor or outdoor practice ball that retains regulation weight and size. The softer design helps players build confidence with catching, passing, and scooping without the same risk of injury or damage to gym floors as a hard ball.

Players seeking exact regulation feel for competitive play warmups will appreciate the weight, but high-level players who want the exact hardness and rebound of a match ball should look elsewhere. Also, those needing an ultra-durable, tournament-grade hard ball may prefer a traditional rubber lacrosse ball.
