Lacrosse

Girl's Lacrosse

Girl's lacrosse is a great team sport for girls. It's a great way to make new friends and have fun at the same time. Some people may say it's difficult, but anything you first try will be hard at first. Once you get the hang of lacrosse it's a great sport.

Lacrosse has a lot to do with hand and eye coordination. The object of the game is to try and throw the ball into the opponent's net. To get the ball into the net you have to pass the ball to your teammates and keep the ball in your net.

There's really only four parts to a lacrosse stick. The shaft, the head, the pocket, and the butt. The head is what holds the pocket in place and when they're put together it makes a pocket to hold the ball. The shaft is what you hold when running. It's connected to the head by a little screw. The butt goes at the end of the shaft. The butt protects players from the sharp end of the shaft hitting them and from debris entering inside the stick.

There's a lot of different positions to girl's lacrosse. The Goalie, Point, Cover Point, Third Player, Left and Right defensive wings, Center, Left and Right wing attack, Third home, Second home, and First home. Half of the positions are for scoring the goals, attack players. The other half is to help the goalie, defense players. All of the positions put together create a team.


Lacrosse is a great sport for everyone. It allows you to get great exercise in and have a great time with friends. I definitely love this sport and think it's a fantastic sport.
