Benefits
Lacrosse combines running endurance, sprinting, stick handling, throwing, contact, and fast transitions. It is useful for athletes who need both field conditioning and upper-body skill under fatigue.
What to watch out for
Contact, cutting, and stick play can affect ankles, knees, shoulders, hands, and head safety. Use proper protective equipment and avoid ramping field time or sprint volume too quickly.
