How do you play lacrosse?

Question

how do you play lacrosse?

Answer 1

first off. its the best sport ever. for boys its very physically demanding. make sure you can run and sprint very well! make sure you are in shape. and make sure you can run with lots of padding on and a helmet. basically you have to shot a ball into the other teams net. theres attack, mid, and defense. to be a middie you are constantly sprinting back and forth up and down the field playinnd BOTH defense and offense. attacks job is to manly shoot the goals and defense mainly is to steal the ball back and to try to not let the other team get a goal. pretty simple. but theres alots of rules and stuff you have to learn so you should ask a coach or something

Answer 2

There are four positions in lacrosse per team:

Attack-  3 attackman which try to score on the other team's goal. Usually has the shortest stick for better stick control and a really pinched head for better ball control.

Defense-  3 defensmen which try to refrain the attackman and midfielders from making a goal.  Usually has the longest stick to be able to hit the attackman from a farther distance and has the stiffist head.

Midfielder-  3 midfielders who play both attack and defense.  They can travel the full length of the field, as opposed to defense and attack who can only travel half.  Can have up to one long stick midfielder.

Goalie- Last line of defense who can stop a goal.  The goalie must be tough mentally and physically, as they must be able to take the pain of being hit from a ball that can travel several miles per hour.  Has the biggest lacrosse head on the field and usually directs the defense.  The goalie may choose whether  to wear a chest pad or not, as the chest pad may reduce movement.

Midfielders start the game off by a face-off, where two midfielders battle for the ball in the center while two more midfielders start off at the side. Once a midfielder gains possesion, they will work with the attackmen to try and score a goal, while the defensmen and goalie try to prevent them.  

Answer 3

wow..where to begin. Lets see, the preschool version is _teams try to keep the ball with their team, and score in the goal. You have a stick and cradle, while passing, catching, and setting up plays to move around your defenders and score. You can "check" to get the ball back and try and score for your team. Go to an instructor or camp to learn basic skills, plays, and rules.
