“American field players would really help themselves if they were exposed to a steady stream of box experience. Box lacrosse is an extremely valuable background for a young player, we need to incorporate more of the indoor skills in to the field game. It is almost a requirement to have a top player with indoor experience on your roster right now.” IfsNeedsHelpingYoungGamesPlayerFieldsRight NowSkillsBoxesValuableBackgroundsStreamsExposedSteadyRequirementsLacrosseRosters Author:Dom Starsia
“In baseball, when you get into the batter's box, that's it. It's just you. It's one man against the world. All that matters in that moment is your individual achievement and your individual skill. There is literally nothing that anyone else on your team can do for you. Hell, they're all sitting on the bench, waiting to see what happens, just like the fans in the crowd! It's just you and your bat. And the ball.” MenWorldMatterMomentsHappensIndividualWaitingCan DoHellTeamFansSkillsAchievementSittingBaseballBallsCrowdsBoxesThat MomentOne ManBatsBenchesIndividual AchievementSitting On The Bench Book:Boy Toy Source: Boy Toy
“One of the biggest benefits of playing box for a young lacrosse player is in the development of lacrosse IQ.

That is how your IQ grows and skills improve.” MenPlayYoungGrowsFocusPlayerDevelopmentSkillsBenefitsSticksBoxesVersusLacrosseLacrosse Players Author:Peter Lawrence

“You need to just understand where the ball is and how to use your body. Timing your jump the right way is crucial. Learn how to use your body to shield the receiver and box him out, again, much like a rebound. Trying to beat a receiver to a ball can be a lot like you're posting him up. Rebounding is great practice because you can employ those skills - body position, leverage, timing - a lot more than you might in a football game or practice if the quarterback doesn't look your way.” IfsWayNeedsTryingLooksUseBodyMightGamesPracticePositionFootballLike YouSkillsBeatsBallsBoxesYour BodyCrucialTimingRight WayShieldsQuarterbackFootball GameReceiverRebound Author:Antonio Cromartie
