Cradling - One of the most important skills in lacrosse.

Cradling - is the ability to maintain possession of the ball, in your cross while standing or running.

Cradling - is the motion of the cross(stick) head that creats a centrifugal force on the ball to keep it in the pocket.

Cradling - move the stick head and shaft in a semi-circular motion of about 12 to 18 inches in diameter (side to side).
1/26/2007Sports Nutrition tips:
 Protein - helps the body in maintaning aerobic metabolism instead of anaerobic metabolism, which prevents the body from taking protein from lean tissue.
  Adequate protein speeds recovery and help in actual performance situations.


Fresh fruits & Vegetables - fresh produce is a great way to get vitamins and minerals that help the body function as normal. They are usually fat-free and contain lots of energy for they body to use as exercise.

    "Lean and Mean"  means proper exercise and nutrition.

Some fruits ,like bananas, contain potassium,a mineral that regulates water levels in the body and stabilizes muscle contraction. Low potassium levels can lead to muscle cramps and fatigue, so eating potassium-rich foods is a good idea.
           Eat what you want, in moderation!!!!!!!!
