With no college lacrosse to watch and high school lacrosse on a temporary — and potentially permanent — hiatus due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), those looking to scratch their lacrosse itch need not look any further.

As Americans across the country practice social distancing, many will look to social media for enjoyment, laughter and more. In our case, we've scoured social media for the best lacrosse accounts to follow. These range from the game's biggest personalities to the best workouts to the best tips for getting through a season without lacrosse.

Did we miss any? Email kdejohn@uslacrosse.org if you know of a valuable account to add.

The Personalities

ESPN announcers Paul Carcaterra (@paulcarcaterra) and Anish Shroff (@AnishESPN) have been engaging with fans on Twitter since last week's news of a lost season broke. The latest crowd-sourcing project by Shroff is an attempt to compile the all-time lacrosse team. It's sparked playful debate while also bringing recognition to the all-time greats. For a trip down memory lane, this is the thread for you to follow.

OK #NCAALax fans - what’s your all-time team? Let’s start with offense today...

3 attackmen
3 offensive midfielders

Go!@paulcarcaterra @QKessenich @RyanFlanagan24 @UncleRickyBeast @Ryan_Boyle14 @jaltersports @DixonLacrosse @USLacrosseMag

Another personality on lacrosse Twitter is Official Lax Girl (@officiallaxgirl). Tari's account blends comedy, life lessons and a love for the sport of lacrosse all on one feed. Katie DeFeo (@ktdefeo) is another must-follow on Twitter.

The Personal Trainers

With many gyms around the country closed until further notice, athletes and even casual exercisers have been forced to get creative with their workouts. We highlighted an advanced workout that can be modified for your home yesterday by U.S. women's national team star Megan Douty, and she's been a driving force behind at-home exercise on both Instagram (@megdouty) and Twitter (@MegDouty).

Taylor Cummings (@taylorcummings_) has turned her Instagram account into a source for those looking to get creative with things around their house. Alex Aust (@alexaust_) has done the same.

another day of quarantine, another at home workout For the past year and a half, pretty much every Thursday morning has been spent at @jdyer_sc with @coachjaydyer .... but sadly not today However, even if I can’t get to the actual gym, I can still get a good sweat in and so can YOU Today’s lift is another Jay Dyer creation to help me stay as on schedule with our training program and in my groove as much as possible Reverse lunges with a step up (courtesy of my stairs) Schless Swings Skater Squats Single Leg Hamstring Bridges Renegade Rows Pushups Please remember to only do these exercises if you have done so previously and know the correct form As far as cardio, I was supposed to do some socially distant hill sprints this early am, but last night’s rain made that a no go... soooo I hit the treadmill instead and ran a solid with sprints and longer distances at different inclines. Mixing in running and lifting has become my quarantine NORM... what’s yours?? #theonlywayisthrough #stayathomechallenge

The Lacrosse Drills

Social distancing doesn't mean you can't get in some stick work. On Twitter, Kyle Hartzell (@Khartzell81) is doing his best to get #quarantinework trending.

Wall ball drill of the day. 2 balls at the same time. #quarantinework pic.twitter.com/Y0UhgvJNiN

Paul Rabil (@PaulRabil) has also been a source for easy workouts to do by yourself and indoors.

Low key parking garages have the best walls to throw against. I’m also getting some healthy social distance from @Khartzell81. And I can show you how to get better at lacrosse indoors https://t.co/spqrVgx955 pic.twitter.com/mcIGXpvMOJ

One of the best resources thus far has been Harvard men's lacrosse coach Gerry Byrne (@ByrneCrimson) and his “1 Clip/1 Drill” series on Twitter. The gist: Each day, Byrne helps break down an aspect of the game in simple, digestable ways. It's must-consume content for both coaches and players looking for a better understanding of the game.

Excited to b Opening Act today at 3pm EST as we roll out Episodes 4 & 5 of “1 Clip/1 Drill”

At 3pm I will deconstruct a possession from Redwoods v. Chaos Playoff Game w/supporting drill.

At 345 Coach Bergman will present on stance/pipe play for goalies.

Brice Queener's got you, too. His Twitter feed (@CoachQ88) is filled with helpful drills.

Working on the ol “Texas Step” dodge. I use this when i’ve already beat a defender w a speed split or show and go dodge, or if i’m having trouble getting to my strong hand (my right) #qtips #qlax #laxdrills pic.twitter.com/fjK8g8AXn8

Isolation might be the best opportunity to work on your trick shots. Just check out these videos that have made the rounds on social in the last week.
