Try running fullspeed down-field, and taking a shot.

Without dropping the ball.

Cradling the ball takes a lot of practice. As does getting the ball off the ground easily. So does throwing accurately and fast.

If your friends made it over people who played a long time, your school must have a CRAP lacrosse team Or else the kids who played were lazy, and your friends showed more enthusiasm. Coaches will sometimes pick the players who want to play the most.


Just for the record, I was good at baseball, and it still sucks

Hockey
Lacrosse
Rugby

Although baseball isn't even really a sport, its a pastime.

Gotta say I agree with this. Lacrosse is one of the very few sports I always wanted to play, but never had the opportunity too. It's like hockey on grass. It's great.

Yeah I became disillusioned with baseball pretty early. Soccer was great when I lived in CT. Was going to play lacrosse, but my family moved to colorado. Ended up picking up hockey instead.

Most places in the country don't even know what lacrosse is, forget about them having a team.

I know a few girls who play womens lacrosse, its hardcore. No padding? I wouldn't play. I have respect for any girl who plays womens lacrosse.

My friend Gina broke her wrist playing, and barely missed any practices, she learned how to cradle with her cast.

I've played injured plenty of time, but never with a broken bone

Hockey is definately at the top of my list, but football takes the cake as far as a Pick-Up type of sport.

BTW Tennis is not as crappy as you would suspect - have u ever tried to return a 90-mph serve with a little tennis racket? I know I was horrible at it.

Didn't anyone wrestle in HS?

Close but not quite. Slight distinctions.

Neandrethals play Rugby

Men play lacrosse

Real men play hockey!



Seriously though, all three sports take some stones to play.

reloca2001 - Broken wrist? Don't think I could that. Broke my ankle and played a few games on it. Was horrible. By the end of the games my ankle would be so swollen I couldn't walk on it. Had to have someone help me walk. Can't imagine trying to take a shot with a broken wrist though!


Yeah I wrestled. Hated it.
