PED 1290 - Lacrosse

1 cr

This course is an introduction to the game of lacrosse. Participants learn the basic skills of the game including passing, catching, ground ball pick ups, cradling, shooting, defending and conditioning as well as strategies of play, rules, and game formations. A variety of drills are used to teach and improve basic techniques early in the course and progress toward game play. The course touches upon the differences between the men's game and the women's game, but the course is designed and played more like the women's game (without direct contact and use of helmets and other necessary equipment as in the men's game). Video is used to show both the men's and women's game.
