Jeromy Dinsmore Page 1 Eng. 101 10/1/03 Miss Armentroute Lacrosse is a entertaining sport I like to play. I've only played for 3 seasons, but I caught on quick and was soon scoring goals. In lacrosse you need to know the rules before you play, just like any oter sport or game, the equipment, and different skills and techniques to handle the ball and stick. In this essay I will teach you four basic dodges you can do while playing lacrosse. There are four dodges that I like to do, face dodge, roll dodge, split dodge and finally bull dodge, are simple dodges anyone can do with a little time and practice. If one can master these then that person will be on their way to scoring goals in no time. First someone interrested in lacrosse needs to get the equipment to play lacrosse. All of the equipment is a lacrosse stick, including the shaft and head, shoulder pads, rib pads, elbow pads, gloves, helmet, and a mouth piece. For someone who is just starting to play I recomend buying only a stick and possibly gloves so you can feel how to handle the stick while wearing lacrosse gloves. The reason someone just starting out shouldn't buy all the equipment is because lacrosse equipment usually expensive and if that person doesn't like the sport then they dont have all the equipment put to no use. The face dodge is probably the easiest dodge to learn and is also very effective. After catching the ball from a teammate, the defense man is usually going to play man-to-man, which is where he is right on the player trying to get the ball out of the stick.
