Lacrosse help please?! answers needed ASAP.

Question

I have been playing soccer since i was 8 and i am now 15 and a freshman in high school. We are not gonna have a HS soccer team this year because there were not enough players or something. Is lacrosse anything like soccer? are the fields set up the same way? what about the players positions? Our school does not have a lacrosse team, but a bunch of HS soccer players including myself would like to find a sport that is similar to soccer. And could someone please help us find a lacrosse club north of Indianapolis, IN?any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

hey im 15 and a sophmore in HS  i played soccer when i was 4-12 and i played lacrosse this year at schoool and in a summer league. it is set up differently u start with ur team all over the field not just all at one end but the positions are similar

there are defence(3) and attack(offence)(3)

then there are midfields that line up around the "center circle" there are 2 attack wings 2 defence wings and a center that are all mid fields and then of course u have a goalie

there a total of 12 ppl on at a time including the goalie

the goalie net is alot small er and the coalie wears alot more equiptment than in soccer. lacrosse is quite a bit different because ur using a gand-held stick to shoot and carry the ball instead of just your foot but passing strategies are sometimes similar. Though, the way the defence works is alot different and i would say more strategic. You can also go behing the net in lacrosse about 15 ft.

the similarity is that in both sports you need leg strenght and endurance to run

good luck and do try out because its alot of fun :)
