Lacrosse- If you have the ball can you run over people?

First, definitely play lacrosse in the off-season.  Especially if you are a fullback, this will help your speed and agility in football.\n\nAs far as "running over someone while you have the ball" you can't really.  I'm not sure if you are in high school or college, but I'll assume high school.  Therefore, the rule is:\n\n"Body checking is permitted in Senior & Junior Divisions, however, no take-out checks are permitted by any player. Definition-Take-out checks: Checks in which the player lowers his head or shoulder with the force and intent to take out (*put on the ground) the other player."\nhttp://www.uslacrosse.org/the_sport/boys_rules.phtml\n\nIf you are in college though and play men's lacrosse, the rules bend a bit more.  Each of the following are personal fouls:\n\nUnnecessary Roughness: Occurs when a player strikes an opponent with his stick or body using excessive or violent force.\nIllegal Body Checking: Occurs when any of the following actions takes place:\na. body checking an opponent who is not in possession of the ball or within five yards of a loose ball.\nb. avoidable body check of an opponent after he has passed or shot the ball.\nc. body checking an opponent from the rear or at or below the waist.\nd. body checking an opponent above the shoulders. A body check must be below the shoulders and above the waist, and both hands of the player applying the body check must remain in contact with his crosse."\nhttp://www.uslacrosse.org/the_sport/mens_rules.phtml\n\nHave fun!

I coached middle school lacrosse 7th and 8th grade for 4 years and I have assisted with the lower school program.  Lacrosse can be a dangerous game, I have seen hands busted, cups cracked, collar bones broken and more but it is a safe sport.  The most important thing you can do with someone age 10 and under is find a coach that understands that the childern need to learn the basics and it is more about having fun then winning the game.  Also Make sure that you have all of the proper equipment (AND MAKE SURE THE CHILD WEARS IT!!!) I have seen children get injured because they didn't think that padding was nessasary.  I encourage childern to get started at a early age but as with any sport it is just a game to have fun.  Also some children have anger problems and this game is certainly not for them if they can not control their temper then they should NOT play the game.

I'm assuming you're a girl and you want to play...\n\nThe rules for girl's lacrosse are based on one premise: No plays or actions, defensive or offensive, that could end up hurting another player. The rules are a lot like basketball. The rules are complicated. After three years of coaching girls lacrosse, I still don't understand them all. \n\nThis is a comprehensive resource:\nhttp://www.uslacrosse.org/the_sport/girls_rules.phtml\n\nThere are 11 players on the field and one goalie:\nFirst Home, Second Home, Third Home (All-Time Offense)\nCenter, 2 Attack WIngs, 2 Defensive wings (Midfield)\nPoint, Cover Point, Third Man (All-Time Defense)\n\nThe play on the field is a lot like soccer. Almost all the players move up and down the field to the offensive side of the field and down to the defensive side of the field. Also, fouls can result in cards (Yellow, Red), depending on the severity of the offense.\nMajor fouls, such as tripping, taking a dangerous shot, Hitting a girl in the head, will result in a yellow card. Covering the ball with your stick, kicking the ball (called a "body-ball") will result in a warning and a turnover. These rules are a lot like soccer. \n\nAnyways, there are many, many more rules in girls' lacrosse. I could spend hours writing about the different rules for different situations on the field, but that would take too long. \n\nTo start you need a stick and a ball. That's it. Go to a wall and throw the ball agains the wall and catch it. It takes a while, but after about 1000 reps, it should be pretty natural to you. \n\nThe best way to learn is to play. Remember: coaches are there to teach you and a good coach won't lose his patience. \n\nGood luck

a dude has a toy(the ball)\nanother dude wants it,so he jumps on the first dude and takes it from him.\nnow the first dude's buddies don't like that at all so they try lay a smackdown on the guy who took the ball,now his buddies come to his defense and we all jump on each other and have a great deal of fun kicking punching and rubbing each others faces in the ground.\nsometimes you accedentaly smack your own teamate in the scrum but never fear,he will return the favor soon.\n\nthere are rules but I never learned them,why complicate a perfect game??!\nlol!\nthat's why I never made the team!!

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.

No, the players from the other team cant, but the ones from the same team can. That is why in the corner, there is always a midfield or a forward in the second post.\n\nYou are also not allowed to touch the flags from the corners.

lacrosse was invented by the iriquios(sp) a few hundred years ago, i think its about 500 years ago. \nbut when they played, it was like sacred, there was no roughing other players and each team had dozens of ppl on the field. sounds like crazy fun though.

if your playing a half court game your team has to take the ball back to the top before your team can shoot the ball again....you can take the ball if you dont touch him while doing it...............

It's all about practice.  You need to decide what kind of player you want to be: offense or defense.  Depending on that, get the right stick (be sure to follow the guidelines from US Lacrosse about what kind, since they are pricey)\n\nThe best way to practice is first to get a handle on how to cradle the ball.  Find a wall on the side of your house with no windows and throw the ball against the wall and catch it.  Great practice.  My husband is a lacrosse coach, and this is always the first thing he even has his experienced players work on.  If you can handle the ball right, you can play.\n\nSpeed will always work to your advantage, no matter which position you play.  If you are really fast, go for being a short stick attack.  Long-stick defensive players will certainly be running and defending the ball, but typically not running the length of the field the whole game like attacks do.  I've known defensive long-stick players that have played their entire collegiate career, and never gotten close to the opposing teams goal, so if you want a chance to score, definitely don't play long-stick defense.\n\nGo to http://www.laxpower.com and you can even pose this question there.  You'll get a much better response with more details from players.  Plus, you can find out more about rules and positions there as well.\n\nThe best suggestion I can give though is to work on speed/endurance, and throw the ball against the wall everyday for at least an hour.  You'll be a great player before you know it!\n\nHave fun... it's a great sport!

Never have run one but played in many (amateur)....only recommendation is that if it gets down to a "hill to hill" match in say 9 ball....I recommend that this last game should be "9 ball last ball in".....if it goes in prior to that it gets "spotted" and the shooter that made it keeps shooting from where ever the cue ball finished...this takes the "snapper" and the "lucky roll" out of the equation on a hill game.......how would you feel coming all the way back and your opponent "snaps" it or gets a 2-9 combination to win it!!!

it is never a good idea to slide tackle opponent in your goal area , it may fetch your opponent a chance to get even with you , so we shoud keep our cool n avoid this .

Yes as long as you don't fault other players or touch the ball with your hand.

Holding the ball is a way of controlling the tempo of the game. If you're playing a run and gun team, you want to get them out of their normal game by slowing it down. Usually running teams dont have as good of half court offense. If you control the tempo, the better chance you have of beating your opponent. Also, moving the ball around for 30 seconds and getting a good shot allows for your defense to get back and force the opponent into the half court.
