What do you use for lacrosse?

Answer 1

I'm not sure whether you're participating in boys or girls Lacrosse, but this can apply to either.

1. Plant foot:

When throwing the ball, you put the opposite foot forwards than your top hand. For instance, I'm a righty, so I put my left foot forwards when I have my stick in my right hand. Keeping your shoulders square to wherever you want to pass or shoot, point your plant foot at your target.

2. "Push-Pull":

Now that you are set up to throw the ball, hold your dominant arm at a 90 degree angle with your elbow as the vertex and with your bicep/shoulder in a straight line from your chest. With your bottom or non-dominant hand, simply hold your arm extended at the bottom of your stick, out from your torso. When you are ready to throw, quickly tilt/swing/push your top arm towards the ground. It's difficult to describe this, but it's like your forearm is a hand on a clock and it is going from 12 to 9. This is your "push."

With your bottom hand, simply pull it quickly towards your body. This is your "pull." Do both the "push" and "pull" at the same time. With a girl's stick, this is easier to do, but with a boy's stick you just have to do this a little harder because of the deeper pocket.
