Lacrosse Tips: For Attackman
1.Make your defense man play you and you alone every second you are in the game. Keep moving all the time so that he must center attention on you and not be in position to help his fellow defense man.
2.In moving the ball around the circle, make all passes sharp, short, and to the outside, away from the defense man.
3.Make feed passes hard. - Never lob!
4.When you have the ball, never stand still - keep moving all the time - if necessary run backwards and forwards - but keep moving. When you are ready to pass, take one step back quickly and move.
5.All feed passes must be thrown directly overhand or directly underhand - not sidearm!
6.Always move to meet every pass, and circle away from your defenseman.
7.Never make a pass to a man who is covered just to get rid of the ball.
8.If an attackman is being ridden hard and can't dodge or get away - the nearest man on each side goes to help him.
9.On all long shots, a man must be on the crease. On every screen shot, the crease attack should check-up on the defenseman's stick, and immediately face the goalie, so that he is ready to bat in the rebound.
10. If you receive a pass after cutting and haven't got a shot hold onto the Ball.
11. Always be in position to back up shots and feeds. When a cut is made, or a shot is taken, the whole attack must play a part, moving to be in a position to backup a pass or a shot. Control the ball!
What are core courses? For a definition of core courses, See your high school’s core-course list at www.ncaaclearinghouse.net.
Division I
2008 and Later
If you enroll in a Division I college in 2008 or later and want to
participate in athletics or receive an athletics scholarship during your
first year, you must:
• Graduate from high school;
• Complete these 16 core courses: - 4 years of English - 3 years of math (algebra 1 or higher) - 2 years of natural or physical science (including one year of lab science if offered by your high school) - 1 extra year of English, math or natural or physical science - 2 years of social science - 4 years of extra core courses (from any category above, or foreign language, nondoctrinal religion or philosophy);
• Earn a minimum required grade-point average in your core courses; and
• Earn a combined SAT or ACT sum score that matches your core-course grade-point average and test score sliding scale to the left (for example, a 2.400 core-course grade-point average needs a 860 SAT).
Note: Computer science courses can be used as core courses only if your high school grants graduation credit in math or natural or physical science for them, and if the courses appear on your high school’s core-course list as a math or science course.
