Hey everybody. got a few questions for ya. do you play more than just lacrosse, what is it? if so do you use any moves from the other sport in lacrosse?
well i play soccer and have done a few street hockey games. i freaking love hockey but never had the chance to play cuz it was to costly where i use to live. anyway between soccer and street i have gained a few driving and nasty kick save moves. i was just at a Tourney last weekend in Amesbury, MA.(runned by NEPL i think) anyway i averaged like 4 driving saves. i tell ya what thou... cuz of this my play is alot more flash and has people watching.

I play goalie in soccer and street hockey also.
I play with people much older than me in hockey which allows me to get my reaction time up. It also improves my hand eye co-ordination. Hockey also lets me work on my angles.
When I play soccer, I play both forawrd and goalie. It helps me increase my speed/endurance and also allows me gain better hand eye co-ordination.

Played goalie in soccer with a couple of friends for fun, and found out I was pretty good. Now I'm gonna try out for goalie at my school. I guess being a soccer goalie helps you move your feets and reaction time.

play soccer for my high school. wanted to play hockey for my high school but they got rid of the program, so i play for a tri-state team. and in hockey i dont play goalie anymore because of knee problems, so i play defense or im a winger. next to lax, hockey is probably the next best thing. the coordination and reflexes u have to develop with a regular stick helps a lot for your snap with your stick. and i play paintball so reaction time and vision is always a key learning point with paintball.

i use to play ice hockey goalie and its a completely different position from lacrosse goalie, it was throwing me off with playing lacrosse so i quit hockey and stuck with lax. but it definitely developed explosiveness in my legs

I play football( O-line & D-line) and basketball. I used to play baseball, but then I started to enter the world of LAX and realized that baseball sucked. So, here I am.

I play O-Line and D-line too and the explosivness in your legs is very similar to lacrosse. Also, getting quick off the line really helps your reaction time. Reactions carry over to every sport. I also wrestle and that helps to get back in shape after football and to get ready for lacrosse. Wrestling and swimming are probably the best sports to work almost every muscle.

I'm probably a bit older than you guys... when in high school I played Center, Guard, and Defensive tackle for the football team... midget football: center & noseguard
When I was wayyyy younger I played soccer: D, midfield, striker and Goal.. and baseball left bench... err outfield
I've been playing dek hockey for almost 16 years.. about 14 of them have been in goal.
I played 3 years of lacrosse in the NCLL - www.ncllax.org - I played goal only.. and I'm going to be coaching GCC's newly forming girls team

Just curious, what are some of the better goalie camps around in the summer. Are they worth the expense.
Thanks.

Well, I was a soccer goalie this season... Though things didn't end up so well, so I just sticked to midfield/forward. I prefer running up the field trying to get shots on goal rather than be bombarded (my soccer team is abysmal).
I also am a goalie in street/floor hockey. I play as if I'm Dominek Hasek V2. I'm very unorthodox, and I do some pretty crazy stuff. Dropping the stick to use the blocker as a glove is a pretty common thing for me, and the two pad stack is also something I do from time to time. Though I'm tough to beat on shootouts, because I'm excellent at coming out and challenging.
