Trash Can Lacrosse!

[huskielax2010]

(I hope this is the propper thread, and if it's not please move it.)

I just got back from a lacrosse camp in lake forest where Brian Silcot (Coach of the dragons) and Andy Hayes were the coaches. Coah Andy introduced me to this amazing game called "Trash Can Lacrosse." Here are the guidelines/ Rules:

Supplies:
-One regulation trash can, preferably the grey plastic ones
-Two teams of three
-An object (we used a cone) placed about 10 yards from the trash can
-A tennis ball

Basic Game Play:
-One team is on offense (3 players) and the other team is on defense with one man in goal. It's basically a 3 vs. 2. shooting on the trash can.

Rules:
-We played with sticks and gloves so minimal stick checking was allowed, but if you want to play with full pads go right a head, otherwise, no checks.
- There is no endline, so on a shot the ball is in play. Pretty much there is no out of bounds.
-Goalies can not have their butt below the trash cans top rim (can placed on side) other wise anything else is legal.
-Once a team loses possesion the opposing team takes the ball 10 yrds back and then can resume play.
- If the goalie makes a save but his butt is below the top rim, or someone full out body checks someone, they result in a penalty shot.
-Penalty shot: Person sands at the marker and shoots the ball once.

And finally the most interesting rule: The games are played to one. But who cares, play to 100.

This is a really cool summer game and best of all its fun, competitive, and all you need is a trash can, six guys, and a tennis ball.

Hope you all enjoy it, i shure did.

Good game. It's like makeshift minilax.

We played this at Hobart camp like 3 years ago... We played with ministicks and it was 4v4 (3 players and 1 goalie for each team). It was fun until my friend got hurt, and then it got banned...

you should play in a b-ball court.its faster and way more fun. play with one goalie and a clear line.all shots behind the back.3 passes before a goal.since most good players could run up the middle of the field throw 2 fakes and roll it between the goalies legs

there was a thread on people playing with trash cans or paint buckets

one thingg though if u play on a cement b-ball court you would get more scoop scratches or break the whole topstring

It sounds like a good idea, might have to round up my friends and get a game started.

well it kind of seems weird due to the goalies butt now allowed to be below the top rim because then would you hold your goali stick upside down?
