Be a Student of the Game

Lacrosse is an incredibly fast paced game no matter what level or age you play at. There are so many moving parts which makes it is hard to get a grasp for lots of little details; like where everyone is supposed to be on the field, understanding off sides or visualizing a pick and roll. That is why it is extremely important to watch lacrosse. This makes it easier to understand and visualize anything your coach may teach you. Luckily, Princeton is a lacrosse hot bed, with one of the best Division 1 college teams in the nation and numerous extremely competitive high school and club teams with in 30 seconds from downtown Nassau street there is plenty of lacrosse to watch. So get out there, watch a game, have fun and be a student of the game. Princeton University tickets are usually $8 and their games are always on the weekends.

Things to look for while watching the game...
- Take note on how quickly and comfortable every player can transition between their right and left hands.
- "If you want to walk, play baseball." there is never a moment where a player is not running their absolute hardest.
- Learn the positions, understand the responsibilities for every individual, defense, middy and attack
- Even the guys on the sideline are paying attention listening to their coach and ready to jump in the game.
