yea yea its intense midfield all out. Attack is for lazy stickhandlers, long pole is for big guys, but all take great skill to be good. Lacrosse is great.

Me too. My brother went to Austrailia for the Flounders Cup, and my dad played and coached all through out my life. I got a step brother that plays in the M.L.L. in B.C. I used to play practice with my bro and was pretty good at it. It helps that we are North American Natives too, our game!

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.

outdoor lacrosse is 10 v 10 with 3 attackmen, 3 middies, 3 defensemen and 1 goalie.  The games are 4 quarters and basically it's similar to basketball in that you're trying to get the ball in the other person's goal and you basically set picks and roll off them as well as go 1 on 1 with your defenseman in hopes to score or draw a defenseman and pass it off to the open man for a shot on goal.\n\nThe ball is thrown through the air using your lacrosse stick, and when the ball is on the ground (outside of the goalie's crease) it's fair game for whoever wants it.  You basically pick up ground balls using two hands and as long as you're not hitting someone from behind and you're both near the ball you can hit the opposing team's player away from the ball (checking).  \n\nBasic rules are no hitting below the belt and as long as you're going for the ball you can basically use your stick to check them (poke or slap check) and try to take the ball away.  If you hit him the helmet that's a penalty and the team has to play a man down.  \n\nIf you throw the ball out of bounds on the sidelines it goes to the other team.  If you shoot the ball and it goes out it's the man closest to the ball when it went out that gets possession.. so basically it's worthwhile to chase shots that the goalie or the net didn't stop because you can get the ball back for your team.  \n\nThere has to be 3 men back on the defensive side if your team is on offense, and vice-versa on defense.  You can have any combination of players on any side of the field as long as you always have 3 players back not including the goalie.  (i.e. 2 defenseman and a midfielder can stay back on defense, and a defenseman with a long pole can go up and transition with the ball on offense as long as a midfielder or attackman stay back on the defensive half of the field).  \n\nTips:  Buy a good stick and start throwing the ball around.  Unlike basketball you don't have to be a specific build to be successful.  I suggest throwing the ball against the wall and joining either a lacrosse camp to learn the basics or start playing in an indoor or outdoor league and just get started.  Once you start playing I'm sure you'll find that it was meant to be that you're not on the basketball team.  Besides, you can legally get away with taking out your frustration in lacrosse ;)\n\nGood luck to ya!

Both sports move fast, but lacrosse uses a hard rubber ball and you throw and catch with a stick that has a small basket at the top. Similar to hockey, the goal is to score more goals than your opponent. \n\nLacrosse also uses 10 players (nine position players and a goalie) where hockey uses six (five position players and a goalie). \n\nA final score of a lacrosse game is usually much higher than a hockey score, typically running into double digits (e.g. 14-11).\n\nHope this helps!

my permananent residence is CT. all the kids at my high school went to enfield high to play hockey (no team at our school) that was a couple years ago so i dont know any current players. i think, considering it is may, there arent many teams still playing.

I played lacrosse in college, but I live in Texas where interest in the sport is minimal at best.

The sport was invented by Native North Americans. Its name was dehuntshigwa'es in Onondaga ("men hit a rounded object"), da-nah-wah'uwsdi in Eastern Cherokee ("little war"), Tewaarathon in Mohawk language ("little brother of war"), and baaga'adowe in Ojibwe "bump hips". The game was named lacrosse by early French observers.

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!
