 Women's Lacrosse Guide May 14, 2007

This was perfect for allowing me to follow along with my daughter's new passion. I'd seen men play in college, but this game was quite different. This guide fit right in my purse. The other parents actually thought I was well versed in the understanding of women's lacrosse. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sportspectator, for publishing a useable, understandable guide for the parent spectator. A group of us parents ordered Women's Lacrosse Guides from Amazon with the hope that we might learn what our daughters were doing on the field. This wonderful guide has taken us from complete confusion to a good, basic understanding of how the sport is played, scored, what constitutes fouls and how fouls are handled (moving the fouling team four meters away from the fouled player who is given possession of the ball). Especially instructive is the easy to decipher field diagram which allows us to follow along as the players move on the real field. There is so much accessible information in this little fold out guide! However, the bonus has been the increased dialog between parents and our student/athletes as we are now familiar with the terminology of the sport and can ask educated questions about the games we just watched. Having these guides in hand to instruct us has opened communication with our children and greatly increased our enjoyment of the game of Lacrosse.

This product (it's not a book, not even a pamphlet, just a fold-up card with a lot of empty space) doesn't have the rules of girls' lacrosse, or basic game strategy, or anything else worthwhile for coaching lacrosse. The Amazon description is a fraud. I won't ever trust their blurbs again. You can get a basic rulebook from US Lacrosse with the complete rules. The Baffled Parents book and the Winning Lacrosse books at least have some content. Stay away!

Who knew? A Native American sport? And we think of basketball and baseball as the true American sports!
I enjoyed reading about the history of lacrosse.
Like the other pamphlets in this series, this one is well-written and accessible.
One question that went unanswered: do men play lacrosse? If so, how do the games differ? Why does women's lacrosse merit a unique guide?
In this case, the Referee Signals were really helpful. Now, to find a local game! Since I live in the Pacific Northwest, this may be a challenge!
Excellent coverage of a sport completely new to me. Thanks, Bryan Jones.
