well, james, how old are you? is there a chance you haven't fully developed?  also, there are lots of sports that don't require size, but are based more on speed and agility.  if you don't like those sports, even lacrosse can be a sport for you.  i once knew a kid who was your size but a bit taller and he was extremely good at faceoffs and earned a college scholarship based on the fact that he was so useful for that one skill.  just practice, practice, practice!

The best trick in lacrosse is the over the shoulder no look shot.  It's when you run parallel to the goal, acting like you are going to kick it back out, and flip the crosse over your shoulder farthest away from the goal. Just make sure that your shot isn't taken until you have just passed the goal.  It is an amazing shot done with perfect execution.\n\nP.S. Good Luck on your presentation!

Ever heard of Google? Type 'Lacrosse' and you'll find:\n\nBRIEF HISTORY\nWith a history that spans centuries, lacrosse is the oldest sport in North America. Rooted in Native American religion, lacrosse was often played to resolve conflicts, heal the sick, and develop strong, virile men. To Native Americans, lacrosse is still referred to as "The Creator's Game." \n\nIronically, lacrosse also served as a preparation for war. Legend tells of as many as 1,000 players per side, from the same or different tribes, who took turns engaging in a violent contest. Contestants played on a field from one to 15 miles in length, and games sometimes lasted for days. Some tribes used a single pole, tree or rock for a goal, while other tribes had two goalposts through which the ball had to pass. Balls were made out of wood, deerskin, baked clay or stone.\n\nThe evolution of the Native American game into modern lacrosse began in 1636 when Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit missionary, documented a Huron contest in what is now southeast Ontario, Canada. At that time, some type of lacrosse was played by at least 48 Native American tribes scattered throughout what is now southern Canada and all parts of the United States. French pioneers began playing the game avidly in the 1800s. Canadian dentist W. George Beers standardized the game in 1867 with the adoption of set field dimensions, limits to the number of players per team and other basic rules.\n\nNew York University fielded the nation's first college team in 1877, and Philips Academy, Andover (Massachusetts), Philips Exeter Academy (New Hampshire) and the Lawrenceville School (New Jersey) were the nation's first high school teams in 1882. There are 400 college and 1,200 high school men's lacrosse teams from coast to coast.\n\nThe first women's lacrosse game was played in 1890 at the St. Leonard's School in Scotland. Although an attempt was made to start women's lacrosse at Sweet Briar College in Virginia in 1914, it was not until 1926 that Miss Rosabelle Sinclair established the first women's lacrosse team in the United States at the Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore, Maryland.\n\nMen's and women's lacrosse were played under virtually the same rules, with no protective equipment, until the mid-1930s. At that time, men's lacrosse began evolving dramatically, while women's lacrosse continued to remain true to the game's original rules. Men's and women's lacrosse remain derivations of the same game today, but are played under different rules. Women's rules limit stick contact, prohibit body contact and, therefore, require little protective equipment. Men's lacrosse rules allow some degree of stick and body contact, although violence is neither condoned nor allowed.\n\nField lacrosse is sometimes perceived to be a violent and dangerous game, however, injury statistics prove otherwise. While serious injuries can and do occur in lacrosse, the game has evolved with an emphasis on safety, and the rate of injury is comparatively low. Ensuring the safety of participants is a major focus for US Lacrosse and its Sports Science and Safety Committee, which researches injury data in the sport and makes recommendations to make the game as safe as practicable.

I watched the game last night with the coyotes I think that SJ was playing better but just not putting the puck in the back of the net many great scoring Chance but not many goals. Cujo has also has a 30-7-0 record against the sharks so I don't see a change in that unless the sharks step it up a notch. I like what I saw of the sharks but if they want to win they need to keep crashing the net and stop with the bad turn overs. also stop giving away odd man rushes. As for the chances of making the play-offs not to good a lot of teams in the running will have to drop the ball for this to happen. Go Leafs and Canadians and ottawa :)

It depends on your gender.  Guys' lacrosse is way different from girls'.\n\nAssuming you're a guy from your SN:\n\n-Lacrosse is played on the same kind of field as soccer/football.\n-The goals are much smaller (like 1/3 the size) of a soccer goal, making scoring a bit more precise.\n-Each team has attackers who score and defenders who... defend, and a goalie.\n-Men's lacrosse involves helmets and pads because it is a contact sport.  Like hockey, it can get a bit violent sometimes and the ball travels at speeds sometimes reaching like 90 MPH.\n-The ball is carried in a woven pocket on the end of the stick.  In men's lacrosse, this pocket is deep enough that it stays in there fairly easily.  However, in order to keep it in there while running, the stick is "cradled" (meaning you move it back and forth from ear to ear with the pocket facing your face) to counteract the jarring motion of running and to make it harder for the stick to be checked and the ball knocked out.\n-The ball is shot into the goal through the air with the stick.\n\nFor more info, why don't you Google this?  Some stuff will probably come up.  Or try finding a book on the subject.

Lacrosse.  It is a unique game with a lot of history.  It is really America's first team sport and oldest sport, started by Native American tribes as a war game.\n\nI love the game, including its speed and the agility of its players.  If you ever have the chance, go watch a Johns Hopkins University team (or other such great college teams).  Really quite amazing.

Anyone who doesn't like to curl should really go try it. There are plenty of people who would be willing to teach you how to curl. It is a great game. There are so many different levels to compete at. In My club there is a league where most of the people have only been curling for a few years. They are just there to have a great time and man do they ever. I take curling a little more seriously then they do. My team has regular practises and we compete with the best teams in the world.

With lacrosse the way I improved my coordination was playing wall-ball.\n\nI would spend hours and hours throwing against a brick wall, but when you do it don't be flat footed, keep moving your feet, and use both hands, even if you are terrible.\n\nIf you do it long enough you do get much better.\n\nI would also take my stick and ball out when i went for jogs around the local park and would cradle the whole way, changing hands, and throwing ball out in front and charge for the ground ball.\n\nIt works really well.\n\nWhen playing wall-ball mix it up a bit as well. Play long balls (not near any glass windows, I learnt that the hard way) some days and short balls on others.

defense in lacrosse is a lot like defense in basketball so if you've played basketball you will understand lacrosse better. when you are guarding someone remember to stay low and shuffle your feet. you can put your forearm or knuckles lightly on the other girl and remember to keep your stick up. while defending her try and guide her away from the goal and try and make her use her left hand(unless she is left handed then make her use her right).  when you are being covered by a defender you can dodge her or fake her out to get past her. \nfor ground balls remember not to empty check girls sticks(checking without the ball in the other girls stick). and don't cover.\nif your team has good stick skills then they will be a lot better. practice throwing and catching and craddling the ball A LOT. also something you can practice is quick stick. it is passing and catching without craddling so you move your stick quickly(hence the name quick stick).  picking up a stick and practicing every day will help you to become a lot better lax player. also look for camps near you that your team could go to.  sorry if this isnt much help :&#92;
