Lacrosse- Why do middies always one hand scoop for ball then cradle it with one hand?

Question

My coach always tells me to scoop the ball with two, and bring your stick up to yuor ear. But i always see like in the pros they one hand scoop it, then cradle with the same hand. Does anyone know what im talking about

Answer 1

i heard the ref tell the best playa on my team if u scoop with one its a penatly idk but they may think its a hazzard so just dont do it

Answer 2

He tells you this because for people just starting to learn lacrosse use two because it is easier. Pros normally do this because they can deak better. I think whichever way you do it is fine.

Answer 3

yeah i know what your talking about

they do it cause they can and it looks good

haha

but also because you can run faster with a stick just in one hand as for scooping i guess its faster too

Answer 4

He just tells you that so you can learn how to pick the ball up properly.

Once you get to a high enough level you can do one handed scoops and cradle with one hand.

I do it.

Ive been playing for 7 years.

But he's just teaching you the correct skills.

Answer 5

your coach is just hating on you cause your good!..;]
