This is not the only reason why lacrosse is called "fastest on both feet". There are many reasons why lacrosse has earned this illustrious title. The most notable of these are described below.

The Essential Role of Speed ​​in Lacrosse Strategy
One of the more prominent reasons why his lacrosse earned its nickname is the essential role of speed in lacrosse strategy.

Speed ​​is the most important thing in lacrosse. Every strategic element of the game supports this fast-paced playstyle from top to bottom.

For example, attacking strategies are based on evading past defenders on the ball, forcing defensive rotations, and exploiting defensive weaknesses. The spark that ignites all of this is a quick dodge. Speed ​​and acceleration are essential to effectively fending off defenders in the sport of lacrosse. Without speed, it's pretty hard to make a successful attack. Speed ​​is also required in defense. Defenders need to react quickly when the ball is in motion and the players are in motion. The gap between the ball and his carrier must be quickly closed to prevent the opponent from scoring.

Essentially, the basic lacrosse plan requires all lacrosse players to jog or sprint whenever they are on the field. That's because the ball rarely stays in one place. If they lack the stamina to keep up, they are most likely on the bench. This is the score before and after the game.

The Lacrosse game is a high-score venture. An offense can amass a good number of points
in a very short amount of time.

Lacrosse is similar to hockey and soccer in many ways, but the scoring percentage is not the only one. While hockey and soccer teams score fewer goals per game, many lacrosse teams average 10 or more goals per game. If you don't believe us, here are the stats for the 2018-2019 D1 Lacrosse season. A significant hit rate is primarily due to the speed and efficiency with which criminals process their possessions. Preventing a relatively small ball from reaching the depths of such a large net is very difficult for the defense.

This is disappointing for defenders, but it's what players and fans want to see. speed kill. It may be a cliché, but it's true in this sport. Fast scoring in lacrosse games is a direct result of this phenomenon.

Freedom of Movement
Additionally, lacrosse players are free to move around the field while in possession of the ball. This freedom of movement allowed lacrosse players to run fast and free, speeding up the game dramatically.

It is difficult for defenders to take possession of the ball. It becomes very difficult when the opposing team has world-class attackers.

For Athletes
Let's get down to business. You've just started playing and you're looking at all his lacrosse positions on the field and wondering where you fit in. He may think he's suited for a certain position, whether it's an attacker, midfielder, defender or goalkeeper, but depending on his skills, his body, his style and his mindset, he could be better elsewhere. Let's take a look at lacrosse positions and see where you can best practice.

Attack
Not only must you have exceptional racket skills, but you must also be a killer on goal. You have to face it head-on and you have to support it. You can't be afraid to put your nose in the action. That's what makes a good lacrosse attacker.

Midfield
racket has to handle great, but first and foremost you have to be a runner. A lacrosse midi builds everything by running up and down the field, so it needs to be lengthy, but most importantly, it must be able to pass through rocks effectively. Although he can take some shots on goal, his main role as a midfielder is to pass the ball to the attackers and let them take shots. You can't be selfish here. So if you want to pass the ball and get ahead in the game, the Midi is for you.

Defense
This is his position as the backbone of the lacrosse team. If you like to put your helmet in the middle of the action and not be intimidated, the Defender might be for you. You can be taller and less mobile here. You don't have to have good stickwork, but good aggression. If you consider yourself an enforcer, defense is probably your style.

Goalie/Goalkeeper
Hand-eye coordination is important in this lacrosse position, but skill and speed are also essential. Regardless of your stickhandling skills, if you can get in the way of the ball and stop it from entering the net, you will be at your best as a goalkeeper.

FOGO
if you have limited skill but can draw quickly, you can qualify as a FOGO. (It stands for Face Off and Get Out, by the way.) All you need to do in this position is win the showdown. If you're just practicing pinch, pinch and rake and you're fast enough to dodge it over and over again, you can literally come face-to-face, win, and get the ball to your team. Then exit the field.
