Lacrosse goalie scores goal in his own crease?
In a game, the goalie can accidentally score on his or her own goal. If they try to stop a shot and it bounces off of them and goes fully past the goal line, then it does count as a goal for the opposing team. The goalie is also allowed to leave the crease and in some rare cases can actually go up and score in the other team's goalie.
Why are some lacrosse heads legal in NCAA but not in youth?
Because the NCAA heads are 6 in across the top, making it more narrow and advanced.
Do people in the mll wear shoulder pads?
A lacrosse goalie wears a chest protector not normal shoulder pads however, a chest protector typically has pads for your shoulders. Some people choose to get a chest protector with removable shoulder pads so you could take them off but I wouldn't take them off. Trust me on the not taking it off part it's coming from a goalie, it kills getting hit in the shoulder.
What are some good books for the novice Lacrosse player?
Well if they have lacrosse for idiots...im would bet they do Improved: "Lacrosse for Dummies" is a good introduction to the sport, however it is written by Jim Hinkson, a Canadian box coach, and geared more toward box lacrosse. Hinkson also wrote a book called "The Fastest Game on Two Feet" which is totally box lacrosse. Both are great books, but may not be what you are looking for. "Lacrosse" by Donald Fisher is not just a great lacrosse book, it is a great book overall. A must for any player who wants to understand the roots of the game. As far as drills and techniques are concerned, almost any book in the library would suffice, as the market for such books is small, hence the talent of the writers is not diluted yet. I own a copy of "Lacrosse - Technique and Tradition" by Bob Scott. Originally written in the 1970s, it is dated, but effective. A lot of drills and techniques for teams and individuals. You will need to refer to USLacrosse.org for updates to some rules though.
