N2  - "Women's lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States. Now more than ever, players, parents, and coaches need a reliable resource to guide them through the increasingly complicated game, including the worlds of college recruiting and club play. In this ultimate guide to women's lacrosse, Janine Tucker, head women's lacrosse coach at Johns Hopkins University, and Maryalice Yakutchik, a writer and former lacrosse player, cover the field with vital information.Each chapter provides a detailed explanation of a specific skill or technique, illustrated with easy-to-read instructional diagrams and photographs. Coach Tucker begins with lacrosse survival skills -- throwing, catching, cradling, and ground balls -- then moves on to more advanced techniques such as precise checking, fast footwork, correct stick and body position, deceptive shooting, and quick dodges. Chapters on cutting-edge offensive and defensive strategy, as well as specialized skills such as goal-tending and the draw, will get any team ready to hit the field. For young women who want to play at the college level, the concluding chapter on recruiting offers a timeline; testimonies from players, parents, and college coaches who have been through the process; and a sample resume.As stick technology advances, athleticism increases, and rules and regulations adapt, even the most experienced players and coaches need to keep current on all aspects of the game. They'll find all they need in Women's Lacrosse."--Publisher description
