First practice of the year...

[UTlax31]

Today was the first practice of the year... i hate the first practice... you know the one where you run 65% of the time and go through fundamentals 35% of the time. I know it seems early but atleast it wasnt cold today. With the first game in a month we gotta start sometime. I guess i was wondering when does everyone else start practice? And seriously...how many of you are looking forward to that first full week of running?

[AttackMan17]

I hate running. Bleh, but my area cant legally start till Feb.

Stop complaining, We're March legally.

[UTlax31]

Stop complaining, We're March legally.


Man you guys start late... we are almost done by then...

[faceofflax15]

Man you guys start late... we are almost done by then...


We're done Early Early June, Late Late May.

[goalieskcickay]

I know many teams have hell week and they don't even touch their sticks for the first week or so.

Or, in most wrestler's cases, hell season. :evil:

Conditioning for lacrosse is going to be nothing for me after going through a season of wrestling.

[Mustangs21]

Yeah man consider yourself lucky. Over here in New Jersey we cant start anything wether it be practice or tryouts until March 1. So until then Im lifting and running, but I cant wait till that day.

[UTlax31]

Could be worse too, atleast it's not snowing or anything like that. We've been practicing, lifting, condition etc since fall, but our first official practice doesn't start until the first week of March I believe.


Yea we have been training independently and had some practice in the fall. unfortunatly i think that we may be getting some snow next week...i know all the way down here... but there is a wicked sick cold front coming across the plains and it is gonna get real cold real fast... needless to say next week is gonna suck... hope i dont break my pole...

[chsattack22]

we are having winter sessions every sunday until our season officially starts on March 21

[Irishlax22]

We can not start "Legal" practices until Early march. Now we do workouts 2 times a week that a complete waste of time for anyone who knows how to play.

[laxr24]

We've been doing team indoor and team conditioning so when the season rolls around in early march, we're ready to actually play instead of doing additional running during practice.

[truste1]

we've been conditioning twice a week but practices don't start until feb 19th

[cali feeder]

Uh, we've been holding captain-led practices for about the past 2 months...official practices with our coaches begins on the 22nd.

[SilverZeppelin]

I hate running. Bleh, but my area cant legally start till Feb.
cali is awsome we get to start february , and weve been doing 1 week a week practices since july

[BlueWave]

Man you guys start late... we are almost done by then...
yeah we cant start until march too, but were allowed to start conditioning the week before the season offically starts so we wont have to run for 65% of the first practice.

[bee_laxer5]

we've been conditioning since last week, but we start practicing with sticks and pads on the 16 of feb

[UTlax31]

we've been conditioning since last week, but we start practicing with sticks and pads on the 16 of feb

We will have played 3 games by then... i'm glad we dont start that late...i would hate life

[lacrosseman192]

we lift and run up until our first day of actual practices on march 6

[LymanLax28]

We've had conditioning 5 days a week since we got back from winter break. So have pretty much all the other teams around here. I think try-outs are the 22nd, that's when we can "legally" touch our sticks.

[Tiger_Lax_44]

My first real practice is not til feb 12th but we have had preseason since the start of november

[wcwarriorlax]

we started 2 weeks ago... are team is mostly begginers so we havent done much yet its been pretty easy

[pantherLax]

It sucks for us cause we were allowed to practice twice a week but then someones parent complained and our school is full of rich snobby ppl whose parents do more talking then them so it all got canceled and now the AD is in trouble and me and my friends are worried that our season is also!

[CHRISLAX15]

season starts march 19 but we have been going to clinics

[laxattack11]

we've had weight room every tuesday and thursday and 6 AM practices before school every wednesday since about october, and we started shooting practices every sunday 2 weeks ago. first practice/tryouts are i think march 5th. and indoor every thursday night.

i wish we started as early as most of you do...

[chattlax2]

we have been practicing since early Nov. but we don't run much yet cause the rest of the other guys on the team are new to lax, with exception to a few ones, and we do a lot of regular practice..we'll be in shape though

[CHSlax]

Or, in most wrestler's cases, hell season. :evil:

Yep same here. wrestlers make good midfielders.

[LaxDman62]

Im supposed to strart some time this upcoming week.

[ByrdDpole]

We start official practices Tuesday.

However, we've had senior-led practices since December

ANd YMCA weight room and training sessions since October or November...

except our coach told us football players not to come.

[hatterslax5]

we dont start offical practice till march 19th, but we run captians practices and work out in the weight room and run, so that way we dont have to deal with the first practice conditioning and we just jump right into running plays and working on team d and the good ole stuff like that.

haha been there done that, its way worth it man dont worry.

[ByrdDpole]

So our first practice sucked, and its looking like the whole season will...but we'll be the best conditioned team in the league!

We ran 20 straight minutes, in the school (freezing and sleeting outside). We ran down a hallway (about 100 yards) up two flights of stairs (about half a lap maybe) down two flights of stairs. Repeat for 20 minutes. Its a lot worse than it sounds.

Then we did a lot of core exercises. Oh well, no practice till tomorrow.

[Big-Red]

I have tryouts on the 24th so after that is when practice will start. I can't wait...

[Project X]

We started conditioning on Saturday, we start real practice early February I think. Since we're conditioning now, I'm actually looking forward to actual practices starting so we can actually do something on the field, although going over basic stuff will suck.

[manup5183]

First practice was today. We basicaly started where we left off...but ran much much much more. lots of suicides. some game situations and some line drills

[MadCowDisease]

What do you guys mean when you say you cant start practice "legally" until a certain time?

[jsweetslax]

Stop complaining, We're March legally.
yea we start in march to. :bawling:

[GBaschski]

We condition pretty hard before the season starts so we don't run that much in practice. Season officially starts Feb 12th.

[Riot]

I had pneumonia for most of the try outs and the first couple of practices. I'm nervous because I have no idea what to expect.

[somrandomguy]

We usually start around Valentine's day (February 14th), with a tournament first weekend in March. The regular season starts right after that.

[faceofflax15]

Dang, I really am getting anxious, Anxious meaning can't wait till, March 14th..

Ergh...













Ergh..

Maybe I should freeze myself and have butters unfreeze me on March 13th..

But the otters scare me..

[CSlax06]

Weve been practiceing for about 3 weeks now. Indoor practice, not much running. Isnt to bad.

[baylorlax13]

ya running sucks we start in Feb.13 but our school has pre-lacrosse that started in late nov
