Lacrosse is a sport with a rich heritage, and is played in many parts of the world. It contains the physical hitting of football, the speed and quickness of hockey, and the passing and shooting ability of basketball.

Make no mistake; once you have thrown a lacrosse ball with a lacrosse stick, the game has got you!


Lacrosse For Dummies is for anyone interested in lacrosse, from the ôpeanutö 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 ôwarsö of lacrosse. Whatever your association to the sport, this book is an interesting and exciting read.
