What are the rules to playing lacrosse?

Answer 1

Lacrosse is a game of speed and your always gonna be on the run. There is a crosse the stick and a head with mesh in it that you can use to scoop the ball up. Make sure you don't rake it.( my coach is always saying it) When your trying to catch the ball don't catch it like a spoon. Hold your stick up and let it come in DO NOT swat at the ball in an attempt to catch it. And stretch cause you'll feel achy after a game. Never stop in the middle of a game. First of all your coach will go berserk and second like i said its on the run. If your a new player you''ll need a mouthguard, a helmet, armpads, gloves, a cup, a stick, shoulder pads, rib pads, and cleats. Soccer cleats will do. And if their is a bunch of people huddling whacking each other with the stick don't be afraid to run though a knock a few people down to get the ball but if your team looks like they have it get open so you can get a pass and make a fast break to the goal. the positions in lacrosse are midfeild-which is offense and defense, attack which is offense,defense which is defending your goalie and attacking the attack players and goalie which is blocking shots from going into the goal.

Answer 2

Men's lacrosse:

very rough sport

lots of running

10 people on a team (3 middies, 3 attack, 3 defence, 1 goalie)

Middies:

short sticks with deep and flexible net

get the ball from one end of the field to the other

Attack:

short sticks with shallow and stiff net

score goals

Defence:

long sticks with wide shallow stiff nets

get the goal away from the opposing team and to the middies

Women's lacrosse:

non-contact sport

lots of running

sticks are shorter and netting stiffer and shallower than men's

12-14 players, spread evenly depending on how many players there are

Positions are the same as men's

Winning is based on how many points you have when time runs out. (30-45 minute games usually)

Lacrosse is a game mainly played in college or high school, because it is so rough, but many youth teams are being established. If you are not in school, look online for a lacrosse class near you.

Answer 3

keep the ball inbounds

no illegal conduct that could get you arrested

no fighting

score

minimum of 3 people on a team per side excluding goalie

everything else is fair game

Answer 4

Lacrosse is the fastest game on two feet. 10 players on each time take the field in outdoor lacrosse, 6 players for each time for indoor. Both numbers include a goaltender, who is allowed to use a much larger head and pocket than the other players. In outdoor, there are three defenders, three midfielders, and three attackmen. Attack are offense, midfielders are both, and defensemen play defense. The object is to put the hard rubber ball in the net. Rules are similar to those of hockey.
