[boricuahitman]

Im 5'11, 215

My School is just geting lacrosse this year so im jumping on

I wana know if weight is a big factor, strength,or speed.

In my opinion you should do fine. Especially since your school is just getting lax this year. Dont worry about it, have fun and learn the basics of playin D. Weight isnt all that big a factor, (im not a D man but) Im pretty sure that strength is a biggy, considering your dealing out the hits, not really taking them. Speed is important too, and good footwork. Thats all I got for ya bro, I'll let a D-man take over.:agree :agree

communaction and footwork are the two biggest things you could be 4'4 100 pounds have the best comuncation and foot work ever and be better then some one 6'4 200 pounds all musle with no footwork or communcation

[LaXDaVe]

Actually I doubt that..but yeah :agree good example I guess

[blckout20]

it may be true but that kid whod need a lot of stick skills and he might have trouble handling a long pole. Really you should tell us more, do you play any other sports? are you fast? do you workout? The size shouldn't be that important but you should do fine im 6'0 190 and im a pretty good size defender. but you can't really tell if you'll be good by just height and weight

ive seen 6'2 guys who weigh like 230(?) and they are the last off the bench so dont worry bout size, these guys are right, footwork es mas importante
