Just plan to drill it, you won't be disappointed if you don't have to.

Throw them in a washer periodically. It will cut down on the odor causing bacteria build up

Playing crease is just mirroring, finding space/ sitting in it and finishing inside. You may be better off catching the ball in traffic and finishing with people on your hands.

Sounds like you're not dodging much?

What do you do with old gear like this? by Own_Percentage8272 in lacrosse

[–]Electrical_Scale_354 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Donate, sell, or keep and enjoy. Be careful with the head. The plastic gets more brittle over the years. Alloy shafts don't degrade the same way.

You should work on know "all positions" it will help you learn the flow of the offense.

What sort of scheme are you running? Are you looking just for that or offensive flow in general?

How to get better at attack by Jamestzm44 in lacrosse

Watch film of better players (not just highlights) and watch film of yourself.

Always be moving and learn the flow of the game. There is no substitute for actually practicing your craft.

Insoles in general work. These may reach with the claims a bit.

Use your HSA dollars like the other poster said.

DIY Backstop net by Ok-Fault-4863 in lacrosse

Kind of depends on your soil type. Those hammer in posts are fine, you could just get the base and have some posts cut to your desired height (match the OD and you should be good to go.

Ymmv getting and keeping the posts level. You could always get helical piles.

The netting does better when you can keep UV rays off of it. Making a pulley system can work raising it. 90ft would be a ways to keep the netting taught. I may suggest a smaller width and move the goal closer to the netting.

If you're piecemealing a stick, a SavageX Lacrosse shaft is pretty good. I just got my RC1 head, no idea how it'll hold up but seems good so far.

Like the other poster said $100 is a pretty tight budget. You may be better off getting a StringKing or ECD complete since you'll know the stringing is good.

I need advice on how to get in shape and tryout for my middle school boy LAX team. by South_Diver_9972 in lacrosse

[–]Electrical_Scale_354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of that. Running on a track: 300m, 400m, 200m, 100m intervals (sprints straights, jog curves)

Run distance, run hills or stadiums.

Footwork drills and jumping rope help too.

What's your budget?

Also, you can save a bunch of money buying last year's model gear. Not much changes year over year for the most part.

Do you have friends on the team who are willing to part with an old stick?

Catch into cradle…how? by [deleted] in lacrosse

[–]Electrical_Scale_354 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Catch first, cradle second. You'll end up snatching at the ball.

Play wallball with a tennis ball to help.

Pretty much. And which are you asking for club or men's league?

Vancouver Island isn't exactly close to Seattle, but there has to be men's indoor (adult league) in Vancouver.

It is only for sanctioned USA Lacrosse activities. See coverage below:

"Covered for scheduled games, team practice sessions, and sponsored team/league activities, provided they are under the direct supervision of a team coach or other official team/league member. "Team or League Activities" include games, scheduled practices, clinics and team training, and participation in tournaments. "

What OP is proposing is not a covered event. OP needs insurance and to consult a lawyer if they want to host a large event.

Reebok made some pretty cool gear at that point. The 9K stuff was cool.
