Long-time Sports Illustrated photographer Ronald C. Modra joins his wife, journalist M.B. Roberts, to present an irresistible introduction to the fast-moving, high-scoring game of lacrosse. A challenging form of athletic competition with a centuries-old Native American tradition, lacrosse is the fastest-growing sport in the country today for teams of both sexes at high school and college levels, and lately has been attracting crowds of enthusiastic adult beginners. Prospective players--along with parents, coaches, and trainers--can rely on this definitive photo-illustrated guide, which captures all the visual excitement of the game while delivering authoritative information on everything from the official rules, necessary gear, and safety precautions to the finer points of field tactics and training.
When my nephew asked me to join him at Lacrosse, I thought he'd gone cult on me. Once defined I bought this book. Not only is it pleasing to peruse through, the text informs one gracefully and to the point. Now I know what all his fuss is about regarding this action-packed sport.

Subject: seen at Grant Park on a placard... My friend's son started playing lacrosse so I bought him this book. I actually read part of it before I gave it to him and thought it was incredibly well-done. Really clear instructions and a terrific section about the women's game. Highly recommended.
