Helpful 5 Nov 2010
By Davcid Crump - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a senior athlete who now plays baseball and once played football, soccer, and basketball, as well as some other occasional sports such as tennis and golf. This book was helpful to me when my daughter took up lacrosse in high school. I wanted to understand what was going on when she practiced and in games. It's still foreign, but I understand the basics of the game and the tactics now.

Great for the Player, Coach and Fan! 26 Mar 2010
By Hiroshi Jinno - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The first book was more for indoor lacrosse but the 2nd edition is far more.

I am a current player, and give this book a good big 5. Lacrosse for Dummies 2nd Edition is a great book for when you don't know a specific term or technique, you can just basically flip open a book and turn to the page for an excellent explanation. This book goes over not only the mens, but also the girls and the box game.
It is also a MUST read for any coach because it comes with many drills and plays along with specific techniques to teach the developing, intermediate, and the advanced player.

The 2nd edition is a COMPLETELY different book, everyone should disregard the old reviews.

Excellent 21 Feb 2011
By Jonny Lax - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book left no stone unturned when it comes to lacrosse. It had plays, strategy, rules and background on the history of the game and why it's so popular. It's a must for laxheads as well as those new to the game.
