The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected pro lacrosse players, coaches and fans alike, with leagues like the National Lacrosse League going on a hiatus. This has forced many pro lacrosse players and coaches to practice “social distancing” and find creative ways to train and spend their time while quarantined.
Pro lacrosse Talk compiled some of the best social media videos from pro lacrosse players and coaches across the leagues.
Mike Poulin remains gameday ready
We’re beginning to wonder if Mike Poulin ever takes his goalie gear off. Let’s hope the Georgia Swarm netminder is atleast washing his gear frequently..

Tether ball? Sure. Birdbox Challenge? Let’s throw some stick work in there too. Think you can shoot the ball over the walkway into that bucket? No problem.
Is there anything that John Grant Jr. can’t do?
Answer: No, no there isn’t.

Hey Jake. I have resorted to a wooden bench. Unfortunately, not adjustable. pic.twitter.com/m59qAlqkfH

It’s not adjustable, but we hear wooden benches build character.

It’s a Full House for the WPLL stars
Everywhere you look, there’s a WPLL star making the most of having to stay home. When the coronavirus pandemic is over, is it too much to ask for a Full House-style episode with Alex Aust, Michelle Tumolo, Taylor Cummings and Kylie Ohlmiller? We know Katie DeFeo would be more than capable of producing it.

Any lacrosse player missing the sport right now can relate to Marcus Holman. Don’t lie, you’re probably cradling as you read this right now.
Brodie Merrill brings a whole new meaning to a sock trick
The NLL legend Brodie Merrill gets some reps in and does laundry in the process. It’s safe to say these lacrosse pros are making the most of quarantine life.
