Getting a ground ball in Lacrosse, commonly referred to as a GB is the art of scooping the ball up from the ground. The stat is just when these GB's are accumulated into an average.
No, when a ball falls onto the ground in a lacrosse game it is referred to as a 'ground ball'.
no, you could use your stick, but lacrosse is a game where the ball is wanted above the ground at all times, so i wouldn't recommend that.
At the start and after a goal of each lacrosse game, there is a faceoff. This is where 2 players put their sticks on the ground with the ball in the middle and fight for the ball
Basically a rake is a technique for picking up ground balls where you have the head of your stick on top of the ball, keeping the butt of the stick up towards you and in a raking motion (hence the name) pull the ball backwards and up into your stick. This method is not as effective as scooping through the ball because it takes more time and you can easily lose the ball if you are in a 1 on 1 or in a group fighting for the ball.

A ground ball is when a player picks the ball up from the ground. The ball is often dropped and ground ball pickups are a vital skill to have. A ball thrown and intercepted by the opposing team is also considered a ground ball for the person intercepting the pass.
yes in lacrosse there is a ball used
you check the head of the stick fast and quick to create a release of the ball and take it while it's in the air or ground. Be careful not to hit them though so no slashing. :)
Lacrosse is traditionally a Native American sport that we call stick ball. It is an important part of our culture and was often used to settle disputes. The Native American version of stick ball could often get more aggressive and violent than the lacrosse version you see today.
