Hi I'm new to the position (and the sport for that matter)
Just wondering whether anyone here has any advice for me on how to play goal. I tend to let alot in at practise, much more than I do at Roller Hockey, but I've been told that Lacrosse scores are higher anyway :?:
But I'm looking for any photographs or videos that could help me with my keeping and positioning, or even just good advice is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
:lol:

best thing to do is get some of your teammates to just hammer the ball at you a couple of times untill your not afraid of it. you should want the ball to come to you. if it hurts , then you did a good job . get a good crotch guard and u'll have nothing to worry about

Goalie Nation's a good one. Look for the question by yours truly, Will Coleman, in the July '03 section. Ah, the good old days.

Don't worry, I ain't scared of the ball :lol: , its more my difference in positioning I'm getting worried about, I mean, with hockey you come out of net and telescope alot more than lacrosse. I'll check them websites.
Thanks everyone

I didn't say that it is perishable or has a shelf life, although some may argue (and I'm one of them, as I coach hockey and am a ski/snowboard instructor) that techniques change and adapt to the dominant style of play/hardware of the time. Being a rookie I simply want to act on the most up-to-date information. Btw thank you ver much UKlacrosse you have been an invaluable resource :)

I live in the UK though so I've never seen them play :cry:

Great video.

In a similar vein

It was worth watching the UKLacrosse goalie in the Blues Final against Jedi. He scored the opening goal. An absolute inspiration.

Gotta love the blurb

Who is a Lacrosse Goalie? "When we look at the goalie position in the game of lacrosse, we see a gladiator, a soldier willing to sacrifice his body for the sake of the team. When we listen to the goalie, we hear a general, a field commander, constantly instructing and leading his troops. When we think of the lax goalie we can often imagine a crazy person, someone willing to stand in front of a hard rubber projectile moving over 100 miles per hour... but we also visualize a super athlete. Cat like quickness, ready to attack the in-coming shot. Courage, extreme focus and a will to compete no matter what the odds. These are the true characteristics of a lacrosse goalie." Coach Mark Ward

That's awesome Mully...and it really shows when you're 1-on-1 stand your ground, stand tall and make the shooter think.

Any comments on the Mark Ward vid and whether it's legit cos I'm considering buying it.
