how fast can a lacrosse ball go?

As fast as you can shoot it dumb***
310980
about 1000 mph.\nSome say 1040 mph.

The muzzel velocity varies, depending on the brand of ammo, length of barrel, etc.\n\nYou could use a typical muzzel velocity of 1200 feet per second though...thats 818 mph.  I've seen manufacturers claim up to 1400 feet per second...954mph.\n\nhope this helps.

I used to play quite a few sports in school.\nI would have to say that I enjoyed playing volleyball and lacrosse the most.\nAs an adult, I am still keen on lacrosse.  I like to watch it as well as play it.  It takes such skill, eye hand coordination, and speed to play the sport.  It is a unique mix of football, hockey, and even basketball skills.  I think that is why I like it so much.  Said to be the fastest game on two feet.... you be the judge.\n\nI also like to attend LIVE football and basketball games.  I can't get into watching them too much on television.  I love watching Nascar, but get a bit tired of watching after 100  or so laps.  I turn the race back on when they are down to about 20 or so laps left.\n\nSo my all time favorite would be lacrosse.  My youngest son has fallen in love with the sport and really enjoys playing it.

It's 220mph, near enough, so you're looking at perhaps a bullet, or a jet. It might be worth dropping it to 49 m/s (110mph) or even 24.5 m/s (55mph) to bring it within the range of a sports car or ordinary motor.

The faster the ball goes the more it will break down hill

There are a few things that make a sport exciting:\n\n1.  High speed. \n2. Continuous action and movement.\n3. Physical contact.\n4. High skill level.\n5. Visibility of the athlete in play.\n\nFootball (Canada and the US) has 1, 3, and 4.\nFootball (world game) and basketball have 1, 2, 4, and 5.\nBaseball has 4 and 5.\nTennis has 1, 4 and 5.\nAuto racing has 1, 2, 3, and 4.\n\nAnd so on.  But only three sports have all five attributes: hockey, lacrosse and rugby.  \n\nHockey is better than lacrosse and rugby because of skating.  In every other sport, if you stop moving your feet, you stop moving.  That doesn't apply to hockey.\n\nHockey has one other attribute that NOT ONE other team sport has: substitution during play.  (Well, box lacrosse does as well, but not field lacrosse.)\n\nEven in football (soccer), players cannot enter the field without the referee's permission, and they don't allow it while the ball is moving.  You could play 60 minutes of hockey with the only stoppages in play being the end of the first and end of the second periods.

I played men's lacrosse for 10 years, and I have coached for three. \n\nIf you stand up, pretend that your head is one axis (90 degrees) and you have another axis, extending from your hip, horizontal to the ground (0 degrees). Your best chance being accurate is a throw from 45 degrees to about 70 degrees. This is called three-quarters. Any lower, you'll be side-arming and any higher will be awkard. Both ways you lose accuracy.\n\nIn a throw, hold your stick in a way that feels natural. To start a throw with your right hand, point your left elbow at the target, and follow through until the head of your stick ends up pointing at the target.\n\nHit the wall every other day. Do about 50 reps with each hand. Remember, it takes about 10,000 reps for the action to become natural. \n\nAfter you master that, try throwing against the wall while sidestepping, or shuffling your feet, parallell to the wall. \n\nPick a spot on the wall and try to hit that spot repeatedly. \n\nAs for shooting, you'll need a goal. Or paint a 6 * 6 sqare on a wall. Shooting is more accuracy than power. You need to stay close to the pipes on a shot. Practice running and shooting. Run sideways, or at the goal while you're shooting. This is more like a shot you'd take in a game.

lacrosse was invented by many indian tribes as a form to prepare for war. the earliest recorded date of lacrosse being played was when all the explorers came to the northern americas.  when the queen of england saw this sport she thought that the sticks look like whats called a La Crosse which is the long metal pole that the pope holds. thats how it got its name

I gotta go with Football(not soccer, american football) and the fastest growing sport in america, Lacrosse. I play and watch them both.

Pretty fast...i would say around 40...

For maybe a half a second. The ball will initially go as fast as the car, but, because the mass of the ball has so less mass in comparison to the car, it will quickly lose momentum and slow down and fall to the ground.

You need to run is all. Use a running resource, like Runner's World. They have training plans for all sorts of goals. The one you probably need for lacrosse is the 5K training plan to get a nice base of endurance. \n\nCheck this out:\nhttp://www.runnersworld.com/category/1,5034,s6-51-184-0-0,00.html\n\nAfter you get a nice base of endurance, throw in some Fartlek runs:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fartlek\n\nThese fartlek runs can make you faster. What makes you faster is activating/strengthening your fast twitch muscle fibers. Another really good way to make you faster: try runnning up hills as fast as you can, then WALK back down. Repeat 5-10 times. \n\nDo some plyometric exercises.\n\nAs for upper body strength, try the following exercises: pull ups (overhand grip), situps, push ups, etc. Try some dips and some bicep curls. Try some forearm curls.\n\nAlso for forearm strength, this is what I did: I took a broom by the bottom of the handle (opposite from the brush) and lifted it with my wrist. \n\nArm strength will help with checking and shots, also.
