A 30-Day Wall-Ball Calendar You Can Adapt

Wall ball can create useful catching and throwing opportunities when the wall, ball, equipment and space suit the activity. This calendar is a planning example, not a daily workload requirement. A coach can shorten it, change the rest days or substitute a partner activity.

Set up first

Use a wall with permission and a suitable clear area. Keep windows, vehicles, passersby and other players out of the rebound space. Watch the matching USA Lacrosse wall-ball lesson and ask a coach to choose a comfortable distance and appropriate ball. Face the wall; do not practice blind throws with your back turned.

The calendar

Days 1–7: day 1, setup and demonstration; day 2, a brief preferred-side session; day 3, rest; day 4, repeat with a coach’s cue; day 5, rest or another enjoyable activity; day 6, a short accuracy session; day 7, review the week.

Days 8–14: day 8, comfortable preferred-side work; day 9, rest; day 10, introduce the other side only with instruction; day 11, rest; day 12, alternate manageable short sets; day 13, rest; day 14, review control rather than total repetitions.

Days 15–21: day 15, repeat the best-controlled activity; day 16, rest; day 17, use a clear target area; day 18, rest; day 19, add a small coach-approved challenge; day 20, rest; day 21, compare with the earlier target activity.

Days 22–30: day 22, comfortable practice; day 23, rest; day 24, other-side work if appropriate; day 25, rest; day 26, repeat the target activity; day 27, rest; day 28, choose a favorite manageable session; day 29, rest; day 30, review and plan the next step.

What to record

Note controlled catches, the distance used and how the session felt. Stop when technique becomes rushed or discomfort appears. Rest or team practices can replace any optional session. Read catching and throwing fundamentals for the beginner starting point.
