getting around defenders

[laxgirl37]

I searched the forums but only found tips for guys lacrosse. I play attack on a girls team. I am not the fastest player on my team but my stick skills are really good. I used to be able to get away with using the speed that I have and ball control but now that I am playing at a higher level I find it harder to get around the defense and fake them out. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or knew how to do some fakes.

When running horizontal behind the goal at X, my attackmen always drag me so I almost trip over the crease, and they accelerate fast and I cant get a good lift check in. Im not completely sure of the dodges that you can do with a girls lacrosse stick, but if you know of any those would probably be good. A head fake or too would confuse your defender, as well as a studder step. If you can throw a couple pass fakes, thats another option.

and change speeds when running, this always fools defenders sticking me...and run in angles rather than straight forward when you have a defender on you

make the defender and and change direction alot, like do little juke steps and then out of nowhere go the opposite way
