Tewaaraton winner Dylan Molloy starred for Brown and then MLL’s Florida Launch. But he ventured into new territory Jan. 20 in Baltimore. Molloy played in his first official indoor game as part of the U.S. team’s training weekend that coincided with the US Lacrosse Convention. Molloy and other field stars got their first taste of the indoor (or box) game, and they want more.

Molloy walks us through the infamous dive as it pertains to the box game.

The Dive

Make a decision. Determine the angle to dive. Tuck the stick and ball inside your shoulder.

Gain a burst of power. Generate speed, center your body and push off with your right foot.

Get your stick out. Once you’re airborne, open your body and extend your stick to prepare for a quick shot and avoid a trail check.

Read the goalie. Guide the ball either far post or coming back near post.
