10/15/2023 1 Comment Week Three: Learning LacrosseWe got our friend Olivia to teach us how to play lacrosse. First she taught us how to cradle the ball. Cradling is when you rotate the stick in half-turns. We all struggled at first but Olivia helped us work on our technique. After we practiced how to cradle we asked Olivia who was the best at it. She said that Lexi was the best at cradling. Next, Olivia taught us how to throw the ball. She had to show us the correct form on how to hold the stick and how to aim. We all thought that throwing was pretty easy to do. Olivia said that Daniela was the best at throwing. Olivia also taught us how to do long passes. She told us that we had to throw it with more power for the long passes. Daniela and Ava did good but Lexi did struggle at first because she wasnt throwing it with enough power. She eventually got the hang of it after practicing for a little bit. Olivia said that Ava was the best at the long passes. After Olivia taught us how to throw she taught us how to catch. She passed each of us the ball a few times so that we could get used to it. Olivia said that Daniela was the best at catching. Finally, Olivia taught us how to check. Checking is where you hit an opposing players lacrosse stick so that they drop the ball. We all struggled with this becuase we didnt know how hard we had to hit the other stick so that the other person would drop the ball. After practicing a while of practicing Olivia said that Lexi was the best at checking. We aksed Olivia who was the best overall at lacrosse and she said Ava. Olivia said that if we were to play lacrosse Lexi would be defense, Daniela would be attack, and Ava would be midfielder.
