Brian's review
I liked the book a lot, because it's about lacrosse and lacrosse is almost my favorite sport. There are couple of reasons why I liked this book. One is it was a great book, it had a lot of people yelling and getting mad at each other.
There are some mean people and some nice people in this book. Todd and Jeff are the nicest players. Todd is overweight and the doctor told him to lose weight! So he plays lacrosse. Jeff, the coach's son, tries to help Todd become a better lacrosse player. Garry, Todd's brother, has played lacrosse for 4 years and is a little nice. Michael is very, very mean. He is the top scorer in the league. He doesn't want Todd to play lacrosse because he thinks Todd stinks. Evan is also very mean. He likes to be around Michael all the time.
I would recommend this book to people that like lacrosse. It was a great book and I think those kind of people would like this book very much.

Fantastic reference
I am new to the game of lacrosse, but have volunteered to help coach my son's team of beginners (first & second graders). This book was a tremendous help in explaining the general rules, structuring practices, and drills.

The book references a coaching system called the 'Positive Coaches Alliance', which gives great pointers on approaching practices and general coaching philosophies. I have coached soccer for six years and still found some of the coaching methods to be very helpful. Not only for lacrosse, but for caoching in general. I will be applying these techniques to soccer (along with modifying some of the lacrosse drills).

I highly recommend this book as your first lacrosse resource.

The best book around on how to coach the game of lacrosse
This is the best book that I've read on coaching lacrosse. It's reads very easy and makes it easy to teach. I'd recommend that all new and old coaches read this book at least once.

If you only need one book to teach kids lacrosse, this is it
I was asked to coach girls High School Lacrosse, I never coached before,but played mens, this book was A-Z everything you need to coach girls or boys lacrosse.

Offers many themed games and drills that provide variety and fun for youth practices.Also provides tactical drills and games for "A" teams.I highly recommend this book for any coach looking for some fresh ideas orany prospective coaches looking for an introduction to the sport. ...

Straightforward introductory manual
Lacrosse coach Noah Fink and experienced writer and parent Melissa Gaskill present Lacrosse: A Guide for Parents and Players, an in-depth guide to America's fastest-growing team sport. Written for readers of all backgrounds, Lacrosse: A Guide for Parents and Players covers how to get started in lacrosse, explains the rules in plain terms, offers tips for finding the right team for one's child and choosing the most optimum gear, and much more. A handful of black-and-white illustrations add a charming visual touch to this straightforward introductory manual, ideal for anyone looking to get grounded in the basics of this action-packed sport.

Good Book for Parents of Starting Lacrosse Players
Both of my two sons play lacrosse and have been for 8 years. I was terrified one of them would be injured during the early years. I thought at the time I would have rather my chilld play football. My fear was unfounded and had I had a book like this to guide me through the sport, I would have enjoyed those first few years more. Now my oldest son is playing adult club lacrosse and the youngest is in his second year of high school. Eight years later, I am still learning many of the technical rules but understand that the game is really very disciplined and focused when played correctly. About the only thing this book doesn't really tell you is how to get the smell out of shoulder and elbow pads, etc. that get worn from October through May!

Great sport, great book.
Lacrosse is a great sport and this is a great book for parents. I only wish it was written sooner, as my sons are nearing the end of their lacrosse "careers."The book covers a wide range of topics and provides a wealth of information for parents about this exciting game and how to help their kids participate in this rapidly-growing sport. My sons and several of their teammates have remarked that the best thing about their school is the lacrosse team. I also saw recently that a NASA astronaut chose to bring his Navy lacrosse jersey as one of the three personal items he could take to space, because the experience of playing lacrosse meant that much to him. This book can be a valuable guide for parents for understanding the "culture" of lacrosse and introducing it successfully to their children.

Arguably the best strategy book written for either field or box lacrosse
The reviewer below is apparently befuddled because Hinkson's classic book doesn't seem to be about Field Lacrosse. He is correct in that. This book is about Box Lacrosse, the indoor game that is Canada's National summer sport. Box Lacrosse and its variant, Indoor Lacrosse, are becoming increasingly popular in the United States and this book is THE BIBLE of Box Lacrosse. Moreover, many of Hinkson's principles of the game and descriptions of the coordination required among players are central to both forms of the game. This is, however, a thinking person's book. It not only describes what offensive and defensive strategies exist, but also why they work and when to use them, given the team composition available to a coach. If you want to KNOW lacrosse, rather than know about lacrosse, this is the book for you. Folks with a more casual interest in the game will likely find this volume WAY too detailed.

In my opinion, this is a five star book for field lacrosse coaches and serious fans. There are not enough stars available to give Hinkson his due if one is a fan of Box Lacrosse.

"Hockey Team strategies"
Although this book supplied a lot of information, it did not give the information i was looking for.For example...zone defenses are played with six players, and the game of lacrosse involves an "X" man...This book is more about hockey and basketball, and the diagrams used are that of a hockey rink!The proper terminology, atleast in Jersey and New York, is "Man-up" and not "Power-play!"The drills listed are very good, but I would not recommend this to a youth league coach who is starting a new program with little experience of the game.

A must for coaches and players of box AND field lacrosse!
I can not begin to tell the sleepless nights I spent revamping and retooling our FIELD lacrosse team's offense with ideas from Hinkson's book.ALthough it is based on the box game, most of the principles apply directly (or can be modified) to the field game.Along with hisfundmentals book, I highly recommend this book to any aspiring fan, coach,or player of the fastest game on 2 feet. ...

Good ideas presented
I like the way this book is put together.It lays out week by week plans for the off season as well as on season.The author also explains why certain workout techniques are suggested for different times of the year.I've read through and plan to use the routinues myself and see if if it puts me back in condition to play some over 40 ball.Until then I've reserved the final star.

Lacrosse - Why Weight Training
I found this book to be excellent for the young lacrosse player. It shows the basic techneques and how with repititions they can increase their strength but at a safe pace.

New Edition is Way Better
I'm a multi sport athlete who trains all year round regardless of what sport I play. I bought a few of these Ultimate Guide to Weight Training books, and they definitely helped me train specifically for the different sports that I play. Then about a year later I received an email from amazon that there was a new edition out.These upgraded editions are even better than the originals, with more articles and a lot more sport-specific information. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who plays a lot of sports or wants to specifically focus on training for one sport in particular. ... Read more

Great book for instruction
I wanted to comment on the Lacrosse Bible. I bought the book for my children as they are both in the sport at school. The level of their knowledge of the sport has been enhanced by this book. The author has included all the drills necessary for anybody to learn the sport and excel at it. I would highly recommend this book for anybody with an interest in sports who wants an understanding behind the mechanics of this sport.

Simply AMAZING! The best book of its kind -- by far!
My son, Drew, was a mid-level player on his HS varsity lacrosse team. Last season, his junior year, while some of the better players were being evaluated by college scouts, Drew was receiving very little (if any) attention. I bought him this book as soon as it came out (July). The results have been nothing short of miraculous. His skill level has increased ten-fold! Now, he's simply ridiculous, playing at a level neither the coach nor I knew he was capable of. Even though the season hasn't officially started yet, he's already been named a starter. What's more, the coach has called all the college scouts he knows, telling them that Drew is a must-see. Thank you, thank you, thank you Vincent Perez-Mazzola... Because of you, my son's dream of being offered a scholarship for a college lacrosse powerhouse may soon become a reality! ... Read more

Book Description

For thirty years Bob Scott's Lacrosse has been the ultimate guide to the "fastest game on two feet," explaining the men's game at its highest level and promoting the Johns Hopkins philosophy, which has become synonymous with lacrosse excellence.

In this long-awaited updated edition, Coach Dave Pietramala, whose Blue Jays won the 2007 and 2005 NCAA men's lacrosse championships, and Neil Grauer, a Hopkins graduate and veteran writer on lacrosse, among other subjects, have reworked every chapter, modernizing sections on rules, equipment, preparation, and tactics. They revisit topics such as drills and skills for specific positions, game strategy, clearing tactics, and the history of the game itself -- including a section on the Johns Hopkins contributions to lacrosse. New diagrams and images help to clarify concepts and instructions in the text. Action and instructional photos by Hopkins photographer James Van Rensselaer capture some of the drama from the 2005 championship year and accompany the teaching chapters.

Like the Bob Scott book on which it builds, this edition will soon become familiar to every serious student of the sport.

Great update of an old classic
As noted in the title, this is an update of Bob Scott's classic book on Lacrosse technique and coaching from the 1970's.Coach Pietramala has provided the best of both worlds in this edition.He has retained much of the old school, tried and true techniques and instruction from Coach Scott's original, while adding new techniques and strategies from the last thirty (!) years.I have played the game for 35 years and coached for six, and I have referenced the original edition countless times.Having Coach Pietramala's updates and observations included make this an invaluable reference and a must-have in any Lacrosse coaches library.It's also a great history of the legendary Johns Hopkins program for any fan of the sport.

Doing Justice to a Great Book
David Pietramala and Neil Grauer have managed to take a classic and update it without sacrificing the integrity, spirit, and purpose of the first edition by Bob Scott.This Second Edition is an absolute must read for any lacrosse coach, player, and fan. Pietramala has done a masterful job of giving the reader insight into the modern game and his own personal views on the sport and the players, much as did Bob Scott before him.Neil Grauer has performed a flawless job in fine tuning the syntax and overall style to make it a very enjoyable read while remaining instructional.Truly the best contemporary book on the sport of Lacrosse. It is a rare and wonderful glimpse into the mind of a great player/coach, and the legacy that is Johns Hopkins Lacrosse. ... Read more

Interesting Lacrosse Book With Cool Pictures
The book has really cool pictures. I also like how it tells you about the history of lacrosse and other really, really cool facts.

good read for overall knowledge of evolution of game
I got this book because I'm an avid lacrosse player and love learning about the roots and evolution of the game. Since I live in Texas where lacrosse isn't nearly as big here as it is in the Northeast, it was interesting to see how the game is played and the culture is so huge at the D1 level. There was too much emphasis on the men's game, however, with only one section devoted to the women's game. But the picture quality was awesome, thanks to Inside Lacrosse magazine, and the layout is also neatly done. Makes for a good coffee-table book. ... Read more

This is an excellent tool for getting a better understanding on how to support and help my daughter improve in lacrosse.

A GREAT book for anyone interested in Girl's Lacrosse
Don't let the title fool you, anyone with an interest in girl's lacrosse will benefit from reading this. Players, Parents, Coaches, etc. It does a really nice job of going over the basics and emphasizing what is important for a female lacrosse player. She offers some fun games and drills that can be used at any level.

Bringing Girls' Lacrosse into the Modern Era
This book is perfect for coaches and players who are new to the game of girls'/women's Lacrosse.Several years ago, when I was recruited to coach my daughter's youth league team, I searched high and low for a book, such as this one, covering the girls' game. I found plenty of books for boy's Lacrosse and a few that had a chapter or two covering girls' Lacrosse.Often, these books covered very outdated techniques and methods.Bottom line, there was no comprehensive guide for teaching and developing young girls into well-rounded Lacrosse players.Coach Tucker's book is a great guide for dad's like me who have men's Lacrosse experience, beginning coaches, new players, and, of course, baffled parents.My favorite section covers the suggested drills.Each drill is clearly defined and well diagramed. She also provides great advice for managing practice and keeping the girls involved and excited about playing lacrosse.I plan to implement many of her suggestions into my practices.A must read for coaches and parents who are interested in developing technically sound players who love the game of girls' Lacrosse. ...

Review of Lacrosse for Dummies
This book is not about lacrosse played on grass fields.It is about indoor "box" lacrosse.

I'm sure it's a fine box lacrosse book, and some drills would cross over, but you need to be clear that this book is not about "normal" lacrosse.

I also bought "Lacrosse Technique and Tradition" by Hopkins Coach Dave Pietramala.That one is great.

For indoor lacrosse only!
This book is NOT for US field lacrosse, boys or girls. Indoor Canadian...i suspect it is great, but I have no clue.

Boys Only Need Apply
If you're coaching boys lacrosse, this is the book for you.However, if you're interested in girls or women's lacrosse, don't waste your money here.There's only a few pages on girls rules and even those are skimpy and practically useless.

Great Box Lax book
It is a great book. The only thing though, it should of had some colour pictures and from what I can see the cover has a WLA (Western Lacrosse Association) goal net and there isn't that weird green flooring there is in the NLL on the cover.

Go Vancouver Ravens!!!

Great Book!
As a fan of box (indoor) lacrosse, this book helped me to understand the rules of the game when I was still new to the sport. With the growing rate of intrest of box lax in the US and new teams poping up all over the country I think this will be a good thing for the players as well as the NLL(National Lacrosse League).

Interesting summaries of Lacrosse players
This was a very professionally written account of the lives of 15 very diverse people who also happen to be professional lacrosse players.The book really makes you view these athletes as interested in their sport, valued members of their community, and very different from the multi-million dollar primma donnas who play other professional sports.I definitely recommend this book.

stories of professional lacrosse players
This book is filled with stories of professional lacrosse players.The players are atypical from other professional sports players, who are often filled with self-admiration and greed.Yet, they are not exactly everyday people either.The players do have full time jobs and families, but many of them are in noble fields such as teaching, law enforcement, the armed forces, fire fighting...Of course, it takes a noble character to be devoted to such an underpaid and under-appreciated sport.The players sacrifice their bodies, time, and some family commitments for the love of their sport.The writing is clever, and the author gives good insight about the players' individuality, achievements, reminiscences, and dedication.

"Great Book about NLL Lacrosse"
After the Duke Lacrosse scandal, it was refreshing to see an upbeat well-written book about lacrosse.These players truly honor their sport, and make the casual observer want to learn more.The stories were interesting, and it was a good overview of the NLL, and the players who make the league work.I really enjoyed it, and hope to see more books like it.

Fascinating Book about Lacrosse Players
This book was interesting, insightful, and sometimes even funny when explaining the lives of 15 "ordinary" people who have jobs, wives, kids, and play professional lacrosse on the weekends.It makes you realize how different pro lacrosse is from other pro sports.(And I mean that in a good way.)The writing was clear and engaging, and I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Great NLL Book for Fans
It was great to finally read a good book on professional lacrosse.The writing was interesting and insightful, and provided a good mix of lacrosse history combined with people who play the game.I would definitely recommend this book for the lacrosse fanatic, or even the casual observer.I enjoyed it! ...
