A lacrosse teaching device includes a body, a ball receptacle, and a valve. The body includes a first leg, a second leg, and an archway interconnecting the first and second legs. The body defines a tunnel and the archway defines an opening. A ball receptacle defines a cavity and an opening. The cavity is dimensioned to hold at least one lacrosse ball. The ball receptacle communicates with the opening in the archway such that a lacrosse ball can travel from the cavity of the ball receptacle through the opening in the archway and into the tunnel. The valve is positioned between the cavity of the ball receptacle and the opening in the archway and is actuable to control movement of the at least one lacrosse ball from the cavity of the ball receptacle into the opening in the archway.
