15 too late to start lacrosse?

Question

im 15 turning 16 in august and going into my soph year of highschool. i have the rest of summer to practice and have basic skills down and even bought mark millons dvd and am working with that.

do you think its too late for me to start? i have a few friends that play, and some are helping me out. but with plays and such am i gonna be too far behind or is it all stuff i can learn before the season starts?

Answer 1

it depends how fast u can learn things. do you want to play varstiy or jr varsity? cause youll have to work hard to try out .i play lax and im 13. it took me about a yr or so to get the hang of it and really know what i was doing lol =]]

Answer 2

not to late. have been involved in the box and field game since 1940s . watch the video, go to libary . please do not take offence, the name of the best instuction book ever , is called lacrosse for dummies . it is the easiest book to understand . every player no matter what level should read this book . live small community , they started box lacrosse program . parents did not have a clue . 2 old guys standing there watching incopwetent people ruin the sport . between us many rings , we walked out due to little leaque syndrome . there were 5 underprivlaged 15 to 17 year olds there . after practice the two of us would take these lads to tennis courts for practice . all 5 are playing major junior a in canada , all will recieve scholarship . the superior adults caused the sporet to be dropped . 2 men who forgot more walked . you are definatly young enough to make the team . dont worry , just get the book and practice . best advice.put three base ball warm up doughnuts on shaft were head joins , wrap tape around shaft so doughnuts will stay in placec . the game has exploded , the best example , state of texas , more novice lacrosse players register than for football . to the 3 ladies who answered question . i want to know why the networks do not broadcast the womans game . it is better than mens game . for example 12 countries played world under 19 championships . just outside vancouver british colombia . there were no broadcasts at all. it was not even on the evening news. get poker , darts bowling , fihing off tv . put the womans game on major networks .

Answer 3

lacrosse (well at least girls' lacrosse... I know that they are completely different) was really easy to pick up for me. the year after i started playing, i made jv, and the next year i made varsity. just make sure that you can cradle, pass, and shoot. and also make sure that you are in really, really good shape.

Answer 4

Definately not!! It's never too late for anyone to start playing lacrosse!! I've played on my school's varsity team since freshman year, and every year I've seen girls, who the first time they ever picked up a stick was at tryouts, make varsity! It just depends on how quick you are at picking up the game. Since you have friends that play, it will be an easier transition for you. Just keep working with them throughout the summer on basic stick skills! Also be sure to have a very good endurance level, because, like soccer, you run all the time in lacrosse.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 5

Absolutely not. I started playing lacrosse last year when I was 17 and I ended up on Varsity these last 2 years. So long as you get enough practice in and you have passion for the game you'll do fine.
