the best head for a defesive player would be somethin that isnt pinched at all because it is much harder to catch and pick up a ground ball a pinched head at the end of a d-pole. something like the edge or proton would be good

Pokes to the throat(aim for the Adams apple area) and eyes are very effective. Your thumb will work best, but any fingers will work. I have also been known to use a "fish hook" in the mouth or arm pit. If you can grab an ear, twist it. Mom's do that for a reason! Twisting fingers can make the toughest person back off. If all else fails grab hair, and not just on the head. We teach our students to go for chest hair, arm pit hair, what ever will make the attacker react. Once they react, you have the upper hand, take it. I would use it to exit the vehicle if possible.  Not every situation can be trained for. Part of learning is to visualize your normal situations, and build your own defense moves, and plan of action. Try to practice with a partner so you can see how a person reacts to each attack, it will help you to figure out your next move.

Hey cherrycola,\n\n     Here are my tips:\n\n     1) Know the rules, and the basics: Goalies can use their hands inside their box, with the exception of a) when his teammate passes the ball to him with his foot, and b) when he is outside the box.\n\n     2) Be aggressive. The best goalies are hands on and take charge goalies. They are the boss of the Box, and take seriously the fact THEY are the last man standing when a goal opportunity presents itself.\n\n     3) Be willing to endure pain. As a goalie, you will have to dive to block incoming shots and land roughly, jump to punch balls away or grabbing them, bumping into players occasionally, especially opposing ones. Finally, you will get roughed up when you charge an advancing forward, all by him self -- the one-on-one situation.\n\n     4) Polish up your reflexes, but more important, your positioning under the 3 goal posts. Watch videos of the great goalies and watch their footwork and positioning during key offensive situations. Watch how they dive (a dying art in my opinion. Goalies today have lost that flare and acrobatics that made goalie an attractive position in the first place. \n\n     5) Know your own personal weaknesses and strengths. Are you too short? Too Tall? Great on on-on-one but weak in the air? Bossy? Too dependent? Find out, compensate, and build on it.\n\nWell, Cherrycola, I hope this helps. Take care

Based  on your size and speed I would suggest Offensive Tackle and Defensive End.  I am 5'8" 165 and run a 5.1.  I'm a frosh and play D tackle and guard.

With lacrosse the way I improved my coordination was playing wall-ball.\n\nI would spend hours and hours throwing against a brick wall, but when you do it don't be flat footed, keep moving your feet, and use both hands, even if you are terrible.\n\nIf you do it long enough you do get much better.\n\nI would also take my stick and ball out when i went for jogs around the local park and would cradle the whole way, changing hands, and throwing ball out in front and charge for the ground ball.\n\nIt works really well.\n\nWhen playing wall-ball mix it up a bit as well. Play long balls (not near any glass windows, I learnt that the hard way) some days and short balls on others.

Well theres always ebay but they usually dont have lacrosse gear. You shoudl go to a play it again sports which usually have good priced heads, or if you get the lacrosse magazine they seem to be fairly priced. If you get the head and its not strung then i would suggest monster mesh or some people call it 6 diamond mesh.

I don't know about Volume but some really good defensive players come out of USC.\n\nPolamalu, Seau, McGinest, Tatupu are some of the best names today.

Legs and back.  You need to be able to spring into the tackle and run like all get out.  Work on leg thrusts with lower wights to develop quick twitch muscles and strengthen your back to take the hits.  I would also work on hand strength to help with grabbing for ankles or jerseys if you are not in position to make a solid tackle.  Speed and quickness will help you most at OLB

I just checked out the site. I admit I know nothing about lacrosse or about stringing. But the site looks good and well organized and I can't think of a reason why I wouldn't go with your product. I went to yahoo and typed in Stringing and Pinching to see what is all out there. Once again I don't know if that is how a lacrosse player would search for these products or not. But I didn't see you guys on my search. I can't buy anything from you if I can't find you. You have the site set up now I would concentrate on making sure you are one of the first store that pop up when people search for lacrosse items. People don't like to look to fare for there products and will choose quickly where there money is going to go. Good luck.

Not knowing your exact team makeup, ie number of  SP number of Closers or whether the league is Head to Head or rotissiere, I can't be certain.  However of those listed Saito is the best choice strictly on ability.  A good closer who should have the job for awhile makes him a worthwhile add.  If by some chance your league counts holds as well as saves, Zumaya would be the top choice.  If you need a SP more, I'm not particularly impressed with those you listed.  Shields might be OK, but is Scott Olsen of the Marlins available?  I imagine Josh Johnson also of Florida is gone, but I'd rank Olsen ahead of any of the guys you named, and fellow Marlin Ricky Nolasco might also be as good or better choice than Shields.  Another option is Cole Hamels.  He's been shaky last couple of starts, but I think he'll turn it around and be a very good fantasy SP.  In fact I'd add Olsen, Saito, and Hamels if all were available.  Do you have any bench hitters you can drop?  The bench isn't very important in most fantasy leagues.  I'm in first or contending in some leagues with no extra hitters.

yeah, free flow is good. if your team playing defensive, fine, let them. or you can change the formation into 4-2-4 this way, you can play attack football and defensive at the same time. don't pass the ball through the midfielder, use long shots. haha.... hope it works

Don't forget, the players are the ones playing the game. Speaking of players, what happened to Owens? I remember two cups ago, he looked like a sure star. Yesterday, he looked less than average. The same for Beckam, to me, he was a very good player, just a bit of a choker. Very average now. I should not talk. My team, one of the favorites, already won a game. Favorites? They looked mediocre, with a weak defense.

have the other big man set you pics, or go high low have the other big man set up out by the free throw line and you guys can rotate, also the guards need to do thier job of swinging the ball to get the defense moving, id say have one guard be in the corner and pass it to him and hopefully that will bring one of the guys playing d downlow out to cover him and open things up. other then that id just say work on your short jumper.

I agree; small forward sounds like a good position! They are very adaptable and able to play from various positions on the court, plus with your three point skills, you would be a double-threat for people trying to defend you from the paint, and they will have to guard you from the outside as well! Goodluck! =)

Guy Lafleur breaking down the wing with his golden locks flowing behind him as defenders scramble to stop him to no avail...\n\nJacques Plante dons a goalie mask for the 1st time....\n\nTiger Williams riding his hockey stick after a rare goal..\n\nThe long reach of Mario Lemieux as he dekes around a defenseman and the puck appears to be velcroed to his stick...\n\nCraig Mactavish being the last player to go without a helmet...
