I thought that it might be helpful in building a larger lax base for potential lax fans to learn some of the basics of the game. I never played competitive lacrosse but have watched the game since high school, and I know that in my case there has been a lot to learn and that the more I learn, the more I enjoy watching the game both in person and on TV.
Based on my discussions with adults at UR games and others, mostly through work or at my children's' schools, there are many who do not know even the basics of the game. It is a pretty new sport not only for UR but for many below the Mason-Dixon line.
With the success of our team, I think it is appropriate to help provide a basic understanding of the rules, tools and other basic aspects of the game through this board.
I would encourage others to post in this thread, but to keep it very simple. Questions whether leading to an ongoing conversation or just for the sake of an answer will also contribute to a basic or deeper appreciation of the game and our team.
