How to Win a Draw in Women's Lacrosse

Video Transcript

"Alright, every lacrosse game starts with a draw. You also do a draw after someone scored a point to resume the game and you do it in the beginning of the half too. So, basically, what it is, is it's two players who turn their sticks with the backs towards each other with the ball in the middle and you have both hands on the stick and you're trying to get up underneath the ball and fling the ball above your heads and then all the teammates kind of move in to try to get the ball and grab possession. And so to win a draw, you want to make sure that you're sturdy, that your legs are planted firmly and you want to have a good grip on your stick and the way you win it is get underneath the ball really quick and hit up. So you want to be the first to get under and hit up and you want it to go hopefully, either towards a teammate and you also want to be ready that if you can, to snag it. Now I've got Melissa with me who's going to help me show us an example of the draw. So, the referee will place the ball in the back of your stick and you set up and you'll wait for the whistle, but we're just going to count to three, okay? One, two, three."
