small person sport?

[North Husky]

im almost 6'3 ahnd want to play mid or attack for lacrosse. am i too big even for the sport? lol. i have great endurance and use a parachute to speed train so im pretty fast but everyone just looks at my height. lets see what you think. :agree: just drink alot of coffee and make myself short? lol :crazy:

[rjattack19]

lol...no your perfect height...im 6'3" as well, i use it to my advantage so that i can shoot/pass/catch over all of the little guys lol. im not fast tho so i make up for it with my height and stick skills.

There's a role for all body types:

To see how a big man should play attack, maybe look at Gary Gait or John Grant Junior (~6'4", ~220). Nice mix of finesse and power. Of course, you'll need to spend an hour or two developing your stickwork to get the finesse part down.

You'll see a lot of six foot something guys plopped on the crease for attack, they make great targets for feeds with out to much manuevering. But any person of any height can excell in lacrosse, it's all bout where you want to play and what you want to put into it.

ok thanks alot guys, i thought i was hopeless lol. ill keep up the training then. i know this is a stupid question and is probbably spammed all over forums but are any of you guys on special diets? i have terrible eating habbits lol :crazy:

[MaKiMaKi13]

you might want to check training and tactics for that but, yea i eat healthy it helps when season actually start, i think bigDman wrote a good article about it too

and on another note i hate you you man child your like a foot taller then me just kidding even though im only like 5foot 4 inches

[North Husky]

hahaa ill step on you :devil: but ok i will work on my eating and i just applyed for a job at a new gym (free memberships! :agree: ) yayyy

any other adivice?

[tiplax]

wall ball. I'm 6'3 also and i have the most endurance of any one on my team. If i were you i would also keep defense in mind when considering your position. I'm able to get in the way of a lot of shots. I cover m y attackman so he never gets the ball. also when i clear I keep the stick up high and cradle it, and i rarley get the ball taken away.
good luck

yeah im 5'8 on attack and i wouldnt mind an extra 7 inches as all

lacrosse is for everyone :clap:

[ca180sx]

I'm only 6'0 200 lbs. This wouldn't really be an advantage in the states but in Japan Im one of the biggest on the field. Its great to use the swim move on the little guys.

[nd_lacrosse]

dude the taller the better you have longer arms, just cradle over the little kids heads and you probly have a good 5 inches over an average goalie so put it over him. i think height is a great advantage

[MaddxLax]

the great thing about lacrosse is there is not usually any special body type needed if u can make up for it with talent. (some people might disagree but defenders should be at least average size for their age and not smaller)

[North Husky]

alright thanks yall, i guess i wont start drinkin coffee to stunt my growth :loser:

Yeah, look at Ian Dingman.
6'3", I would love to be 6'3" on the field. (I'm 5'4" and am constitenly being plowed over).

We had a midfielder who was like 6'2, and he was a rocket. Then we had an attackman who was 6'6, skinny guy, but we would just kinda alley-oop the ball to him, and he would quick stick it in. And then our whole defense was over 6'.

Sounds like you should play midfield. I know plenty of tall midfielders who are absolute STUDS.
