    This is very helpful. Tomorrow is my grandson's first game. I thought I knew nothing about the sport, but it seems similar to hockey in many ways. I followed pro and amateur hockey in my youth. I'll watch your video a couple more times just to be sure, but I think I've got it. Have a fun day.

    Thanks for the video Jake! The closest I have ever come to playing lacrosse was getting hit by a lacrosse ball once when walking to soccer practice. My son’s first practice is this week and this video is just what I was looking for.

    Great video, but, as intended, very basic information for the more advanced lacrosse fans. I would like to see some clarifications on some of the controversial calls that are always argued, like a legal check versus slash, what defines "hit from behind", cross checking, etc. Seems referees have a wide variance of what is legal and what is not. Thank you for the video. I can send to my Mother-in-law who is learning the game.

    My 14yo daughter is interested in playing Lacrosse next year in high school. I was thinking about buying a couple sticks and a ball to get her used to throwing and catching. But not knowing if she would be a defender (long stick) vs an attacker (shorter stick), which would you recommend I buy? I would think it would make a big difference if she got used to throwing/catching with a short stick but then became a defender and had to throw/catch with a longer stick. Thoughts?

    • @kareja316
      @kareja316 Рік тому

    @alexandersles8913 Рік тому

    I think a very important rule that I had no idea existed was being able to hit someone from behind to stop possession, basically if its a fast break your sliding up field to a guy infront of cage and he does not have the ball in his stick but the ball is in air traveling clearly to him if your on his backside it does not matter. Obviously the limitations are it depends on how hard you hit him but its relatively fair game considering refs “SHOULD”understand you don’t have any other options.
