Here are a few pix from the lacrosse scrimmage last Saturday. For those who don't know lacrosse, it is played on a field similar in size to a football / soccer field and has 10 players a side. Three attack men, three mid fielders (middies) and three defenders plus a goalie. The game is played with a hard rubber ball about the size of a tennis ball and the players use sticks with a "basket" on the end to control the ball. The goalie has a stick with a large basket (head) to help stop shots and up to four players can have long poles. At least three players must stay on the offensive side of the field and at least four players must stay on the defensive side of the field. That's the basics and will help you understand a bit when looking at the photos. Oh yea...one more thing...it is definitely a contact sport. All were shot with a D600, 200-400mm Nikkor at f4 and 1/1250 - Auto ISO.
