The number of high school and youth teams playing lacrosse has increased 65 percent in the past decade, making lacrosse the fastest growing team sport in the United States. Thousands of new players enter the sport each year. Winning Lacrosse for Girls is the only comprehensive guide to lacrosse for girls. þThe rules for girls' lacrosse are decidedly different than those for boys' lacrosse. The game is played on a field with no boundaries, body checking is prohibited, and a shallow pocket stick (as opposed to a deep pocket stick) is used, among other variations. Winning Lacrosse for Girls teaches the game's basic skills, strategies, and drills and how to master them. Chapters cover the history of the game, the basics of stick handling, the rules of play, passing and receiving, offense and defense, key strategies, skills and tactics, conditioning, and much more. Approximately 75 photographs and 10 diagrams provide a visual accompaniment to the clear, easy-to-read text.

Winning Lacrosse for Girls is an all-in-one, comprehensive resource for players, coaches, and parents who want to improve their understanding of the game.
