If you want to excell in college women's lacrosse going forward, then pattern your game after the men's game. The checking will not be a component, but the teams that recruit draw specialists hard will thrive. Draw specialists only determine who gets the ball to score, I know it's the most obvious statement, but still somehow not the priority in game preparation below the collegiate level. How much time do clubs spend on draw preparation? Far too much time scrimmaging, 1 ball for 22 players. Win draws 2-1 and you win. It's the easiest and smartest way to tip the field in your favor. It's laughable how clueless people are to this flaw in the sport. The fair thing would be the ball come out from the goalie after a score. Possession is everything in a sport that you score almost 40-50% of the time you have the ball.
