I love lacrosse and if you don’t know what it is; it’s a game where you have a stick that looks like this:
So, if you look at my first picture, you can see that it has a pole in the middle which is called the shaft. And then a top which is called the head, and the string is called the mesh. That’s a normal lacrosse stick. Now picture a regular lacrosse stick with a shaft that is about double the length of a regular stick. It’s called a long stick and it’s used for defense. Some people might call it a defensive pole.Now a goalie stick. The head is bigger than a normal stick and wider to catch shots coming at the goal. Now let’s get to the actual game. In lacrosse you have three positions, well no, four. 3 midfield, 3 defense, 3 attack, and the goalie. So, every game you start with 10 players on the field. Plus the other team’s 10 so 20 people on at once. The goal of the game is to get the ball past the other team’s goalie into the goal.
Basic fundamentals: let’s just start with passing. To pass you want to hold your dominant hand near the middle of the stick. Then your non-dominant hand at the bottom. Then, like a lever, propel the stick forward. Next, let’s get to catching. To catch you want to put your dominant hand at the top of the stick and non dominant hand at the bottom and then catch it. Following that we have cradling. It’s a little hard to explain, but for a video and more information you can look up Paul Rabil YouTube and he can show you how to do all those things better.
