Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐My sons and daughter play lacrosse. I never heard of the sport before moving to New England. I bought this book in the hopes that if I understood it more, maybe I would have a better attitude towards the sport.This book was only sort of informative. The book is also old – from 2005, and this sport at all levels has developed passed what was covered. I would have preferred the book be organized or “rotated” differently because it was hard to follow. The game rules really needed a grid-comparison between the various youth-levels and by gender. There are many useless statements, paragraphs, and commentary throughout the book that are merely filler.Questions I still had after reading the book include* What is the normal lacrosse season* How many games are played* What is the standard/expected practice schedule* Exactly what are the details to look for in equipment* Still did not understand the types of positions or plays* Still did not understand how all the penalties work, when they are called, on who, and how much license or league variations are expectedIf would recommend finding a different book than this.

⭐This is a great resource for people who want to know more about the game. Our son started playing and I had many questions. It was not easy for me to follow all of the intricate rules. A coach recommended this book to me. It is basic. It is not a book I would read cover to cover but it has information for both boys and girls LAX.

⭐Being a lifelong hockey player, I expected to easily understand this new sport that my son has started playing. I was wrong. This book has given me the basics to watch the game and has much more that I plan to come back to and learn about after the season.

⭐The book is a little old, but I knew that buying it. That’s why it was so cheap. The book is great and I am learning a lot about lacrosse from the book. I received the book fast and in-spite the age of the book, it is in great condition.

⭐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.

⭐My grandson who will start lacrosse this spring finds this book very informative and easy to follow. Also it helped his mother to know what equipment to purchase.

⭐easy to read and helpful but would have liked a little more strategic info

⭐Received as described.

⭐perfect
