Lacrosse For Dummies is for anyone interested in lacrosse, from the “peanut” player (four or five years old) to the old–timer, from the new fan to the fanatic, from the beginning coach to the experienced coach, from the parent who’s a novice to the parent who has been through the “wars” of lacrosse. Whatever your association to the sport, this book is an interesting and exciting read.
Lacrosse For Dummies covers what you need to know to get the most out of this exciting sport, whether you’re a fan, coach, player, or parent of a player. From the fundamen tals of passing and catching to equipping yourself for the game, this book has everything you ever wanted to know about lacrosse, but were afraid to ask. Lacrosse For Dummies opens with the basics of the game, and familiarizes you with such things as the ball and the stick, the position of the players on the field, the equipment used, and the way the game is played. The other parts of the book illustrate how you should watch the game for maximum enjoyment, how you can become a better player, and how you can become a better coach.
This book also explores:
- The fundamentals of playing lacrosse
- The rules of the game
- How to develop offensive and defensive skills
- Preparing yourself for a game
Lacrosse has had a hectic history of ups and downs, probably more than any other sport, but it is still the most exciting sport around. Lacrosse For Dummies can show you how to enjoy this game from any perspective—fan, coach, or player.
