i want to try and learn but i’m scared

The ball CAN hit the body as long as there is no advantage gained by the offender or disadvantaged to the other team.

This is a great video. I sent it to the parents for both my 8U and 10U girls. Lots of people nit picking and criticizing from a level of expectation that isn’t realistic for first season 8U / K-2nd girls. I like the video because it shows several girls at different levels of their catching and throwing skills and exactly what you run into as a coach of 8U and 10U players. I like now to watch it and see what I would try to work with each girl and I can think of every player on my team and what they do right and wrong.

I hope she’s doing well now

What happened to softball??

This was a great educational video. Thank you for making it!

This is not how u catch a ball put it next to your ear not to close but not to far

Great video - my 12 year old just is just about to start lacrosse at school (mandatory in 6th grade) and I have never played or even held a lacrosse stick. Now I am practicing with her and she’s doing a great job with the catch and give! Thanks!

Hey Coach Bruce, thanks for the video. I played boys LAX in high school, trying to teach my 9 year old how to play girls LAX. Any additional drills or advice would be awesome. Great first video!!! Appreciate it

This is my first time playing field hockey this year and I did not know how some rules worked so this really helped

During a penalty corner there is no requirement that the attackers allow the ball to come out of the circle before playing it - but they cannot score from any shot made at the goal before the ball has left the circle and then been played back in, before being propelled at the goal. Ball-body(foot) contact is NOT an offence unless the player hit with the ball clearly intended to use the body to stop or deflect the ball or her team gain an advantage from the contact. The forcing of ball -body contact (deliberately playing the ball into the feet or legs of an opponent) is an offence, although most umpires appear not to realize this, because the stand alone Forcing Rule was deleted in 2011. At the time of the Rule deletion the FIH RC stated that the Rule was deleted "because any action of this sort can be dealt with under other Rules" - so the Rule was deleted the offence was not (a bizarre deletion). Obstruction is the illegal prevention of a legitimate tackle attempt, usually due to a ball shielding foul by a player in possession of the ball.

Working Hockey at the olympics this year and had never seen it before so this helped a lot!

I have the girl’s stick except mine is women’s size!

i’m 12, is it too late to start lacrosse?

just some constructive feedback about the video from an umpire's point of view and what we are looking for as an umpire. 1:18 "wait for the sound of the stick check". Ok, you are never supposed to judge a stick check by sound, there are some factors into it such as did the player touch the ball BEFORE hitting the stick, was it a stick obstruction by the person with the ball, and more factors and it was still like that in the 2017 update. 3:00 it is not an offence to run between the person taking the ball and another player, it is only an offence if that player prevents the other player from going in and making a legitimate tackle or play at the ball 4:26 "when the ball gets injected it MUST leave the circle before you can ". that statement is false, the ball needs to go outside the circle before you can score a goal, it is not an offence to trap the ball inside the circle. and if this gets updated id love to see something on penalty strokes and pc upgrades as they are a huge part of the game too.

I’m thinking if trying lacrosse but I don’t know. Does anybody think I should?

Im a 13 yr guys lsm 5,8 ft 160 lbs, and this is just confusing for me to watch

Quick Follow up from Coach Bruce. It's now 7 years since I made this video and many of the critiques of the video are valid, but as some validation that what I was teaching works, Caroline (#38) is committed to play D2 lacrosse at a school in Colorado and Kaitlyn (#7) recently committed to play at the University of Florida. I'm not taking credit for getting them there, they have worked very hard to get where they are, but learning to catch and throw this way works. See my comment below for things I've learned since making the video, but the basics still hold up. Give when you catch and keep your stick facing the ball.

Some good examples of hockey infringements. 🏑

I'm a broadcaster and I've never really broadcast Field Hockey before... this was tremendously helpful. Thank you!!

shes not throwing all the way through the ball isnt going to go far it’ll jsut arch and fall to the ground and she also holds her hand a bit higher than it should be when throwing

How come you did not say anything about throwing and you need to teach your girls to follow through when they throw

It's always great to find educational videos like these on youtube and I appreciate the effort you put into this one. However, I would like to clarify for your audience....If a player propels the ball in a dangerous manner it is "Dangerous Propelling". A Dangerous Shot is different, defined as shooting dangerously at the goalkeeper (only). Each reference you make for dangerous shot in this particular video is actually dangerous propelling. Two different fouls. One is an automatic yellow card (DP) the other is not (DS).

She’s does it wrong when she throws she needs to make kinda like an L shape with her shoulders and lift it a bit higher than what she was doing she made a V that turned to a very long have W

is 7th grade too late to start lacrosse ? like will it be harder for me 🥍

Hi Everyone, this is Coach Bruce. It's now 4 years after I made this video and I was a new coach then and have learned a lot about catching since I made this video. A lot of the commenters are correct so let me clarify a few things. 1. It's fine for a beginner to hold her hand near the top of her stick to catch, it gives you much more control. 2. Don't let you stick go back to horizontal when you catch, try to keep your stick taller. All the players in this video let their stick go back too far but then don't anymore. 3. You should absolutely "give when you catch" as I stress in the video. It's without a doubt the most important part of learning to catch with a girls stick. 4. When you throw, you should slide your hand down to the middle of the stick and follow the 90, 90 rule as explained by one of the commenters below. 5. Both of the girls featured in this video, #36 and #7 are both likely headed to play D1 Lacrosse. #7 is absolutely going to play D1. She's a freshman in high school this year and already has D1 colleges watching her. She still catches like this and still holds her hand high on her stick when she shoots and she and is an incredible player and a goal scoring machine. #36 is a sophomore this year and missed leading her successful Varsity team in goals last year by 1, so while the video isn't perfect, it's still a good primer for the beginning player and if you learn to catch like they do, you will be well on your way to becoming a good lacrosse player. Have fun girls!

Hi Coach: I'm a fairly new fan of the sport. One thing I'm wondering is this: why wouldn't the offensive side immediately try to flick the ball onto a defender's foot/leg as soon as they enter the arc? I wouldn’t like to see the game played like that, but it seems an easy way to get a penalty corner... Thanks for the excellent video!

She’s bringing her stick way to back, she needs to slide her upper hand down, also they should be cradling because it’s to slow to be quick sticks. Plus it’s just totally incorrect.

Great video. My 11 year old is just getting into it, and these two steps are just what I needed. Thanks for getting straight to the point, too. Some comments are complaining about the lack of cradling, but you specified that you don’t do that as part of this practice, so... whatever people.

great video. I started back in February but only for 5 days and I went to practice today and I sucked and I actually love lacrosse and want to get more into it. I’ll try these techniques next week when I have practice. Very useful thank you

what age do you start teaching? do they use regular size sticks?

Thanks Coach. My daughter is starting lacrosse next week and I know nothing about the women's game.

anyone notice its the same clip playing over and over

Thanks for the detailed walk-through Coach!

Step when you throw please it bothers me!

I have a video for wall ball / rebounder drills on my channel to help as well with shooting, passing, and receiving the ball

Ive been watching videos about the rules to the game and it is very overwhelming since i havent played before... do u think ill be able to get it after i join a team

Some coaches will say that she does not finish the follow through. but in her case it is ok

I really want to start playing lacrosse, but I'm not sure if I've left it too late. What is the best way to learn? (Summer Camp? Join a Team? etc?) I have no experience, so what helped all of you begin to play?

Coaching boy's clinic (U8) with kids as young as 5. Some can catch, cradle, slide they hand down and pass. Most cannot, I'll try this one next practice.

why are they not cradling it seems too slow to be quick sticks

I'm in 8th grade and I want to do lacrosse but if I do lacrosse I will have to do high school lacrosse should I do it or not, I have no experience what so ever, never even thought about doing it till now so yes or no?

great video but to me it seems like her hand is way to high up

I understand that you said she is a newer player, but this video is making me cringe due to how this player was taught to catch and throw. The player should be taught to give, yes, but they also should learn to cradle as soon as they give in with the ball. Another thing is, she's not aiming at all. She isn't stepping with her opposite foot or anything. Anyways, I know if I did any of this at practice or games my coach would fix me so fast.

My partner is bad at throwing. And I honestly think if she threw well i COULD catch it!

All of your players are throwing and catching incorrectly, they need to move their top hand to about the upper middle of the stick and as for throwing they are throwing from their shoulder and they need to be throwing with their arms up with something I call 90 90 because the elbow and armpit should both be at a 90 degree angle. This is not a good video it will not help in anyway.

this urks me, for one, there not stepping when trowing 2, if u catch like that in a game, chances are there going illegally check not thinking, 3, do a half cradle when catching the ball to get used to it in a game.

Girls lax is reminds me of school...Boreing

she has to cradle so she is doing it wrong
