LacrosseAll About Lacrosse
By: Devin Hohenstein
This is a lacrosse stick. The stick is one of the most important
pieces of equipment because you do every thing with it in lacrosse.
These are a pair of lacrosse cleats. You wear them on your feet. They
have spikes on the bottom that make your dodges more sharp and are good
for running on grass and turf.
This is a pair of lacrosse gloves. They protect your hands from getting hurt.
This is a lacrosse helmet. This protects your head
from serious head injuries.
This is a chest protector/shoulder pads. This is
a very important piece of equipment, it protects you from getting injured and your chest is the main target of all body
checks.
This a pair of elbow pads. It covers most of your arm if not all of it. It is important to wear
when you’re not allowed to body check because your
opponent will focus on stick checking and if they miss they
might hit your arm.
This is what it looks like when your wearing all of your
equipment.
Now that you have just seen what the equipment looks like it is time to see the positions
and the lacrosse field!
The first position I will share is Attack. (I play Attack.) Attack is played all the
way down the field by the OTHER teams goalie. They mostly take the shots and chase after the ball when
the ball misses the goal before it goes out of bounds.
(White uniforms in the picture.)
The second position I will share is midfield. Midfield is played mostly in the middle of the
field, that’s where it gets name, midfield. Three people play
midfield on one team. The one in the middle does the face-offs to win the ball for there team. The other two are the right or left wing. The midfielders are
allowed to go anywhere on the field.
The third position I will share is defense. Defense is the same in every
sport. You try to prevent the other team from scoring. In this case the
defense in lacrosse is to prevent the the other team from scoring a goal.
Another line of defense is the one and only goalie! The goalie has the job of staying in the goal the whole game
and blocking shots that come at them pretty fast. The goalie’s job is very
scary.
THE END!!!!!Hope you liked it!!
