[morthyr]

I did not give a single flying fuck.

[BowwDowwwn]

Nice shorts..... xD

[icecoldpaint]

like i didnt know this shit

[scubus11]

Short sticks are for queers and gays, long poles are better, by these 3 ways:

1. Way more power

2. Better poke checks

3. Advantage on height of a pass .....sure short poles have good control and I'm not trying to hate even tho I said all those things, you want a long pole defense so they can have better clears down field to midies and they can score

[nebass7]

just kidding expert village is cool

[G0twood]

WHERE ARE THE CHECKS?? WHO ELSE THINKS THIS GUY IS A COMPLETE JOKE? i MEAN, MY GRANDMA CAN DO THIS SHIT!!

[hockeyshot100]

[ItisI111]

@hockeyshot100 lol no ur heels are in the back of your feet. Your balls are in the front. Look it up I can't believe I actually have to explain that to someone.

[hockeyshot100]

@ItisI111 those are called toes dip shit

[onlymusicguy]

@hockeyshot100 itisl111 is right it means get on your toes you dont play lax on your heels stupid

[hockeyshot100]

@onlymusicguy buddy go play ur damn music and stay out of it

[bkboy747]

@ItisI111 actually my balls hang between my thighs

[DEADFRESHhou]

i like how the captions are on checks and hes talking about stance...

[MegaFootballfan11]

wow not even using a d pole

[laxtits]

you're not a laxer unless you're wearing mid-calfs

[redskinsfan1997]

O on is shorts.

[mchs99]

You don't take him to the side he wants to go.... You split the field in half to his off hand.

[OnCuz98]

He's definitely reading the definition of a defensive stance off wikipedia

[WillIndestLax]

@OnCuz98 haha ya ikr

[ilovehaters888]

Hey nice swag d bag... you think you're b.a. with your baggy clothes and you're wearing no-shows

[wlc18]

Lacrosse CAN NOT be taught via You Tube, this is rubbish.

[juanitto4700]

fuckn stupid.. -.-"

[RunawayDrummer12345]

next expert village video: How to walk

[mantoxic95]

if someone here has played lacrosse and defense for more than six years ( thts about how long ive played) please help me i hve a tournament comin up and i need some tips on how to play better and more efficient

[bmwlacrosse996]

shut up...you just relax, not "weight distributed evenly", i bet he never even played before gosh

[bmwlacrosse996]

@bmwlacrosse996 and he isnt even using a long pole...you fail!

[everythingsrandom]

@bmwlacrosse996 THEN HE SHOULDN'T BE MAKING VIDEOS SHOULD HE?

[PointGuard05]

that's so bad... take the video of!!!

[yankeesfan135]

when theyre making a run for the goal use your body, not a stick check

[pieismyidol]

why does he wear a helmet but not even gloves or a longpole?

[WoWPikagg]

haha, the title of this vid is off... no checks were seen in the making of this video.

[Mr12leo12]

box is a lot easier and more fun than field. i play for the redhawks. its more fun to cross check than just push and slash.

[spaghetticat3]

god this guy is an idiot just go watch a varsity practice

[Koolaidman416]

trying this in the spring, any tips?

[Chrustay177]

learn all the rules before the first practice, and get a stick that'll last you throught the season. also get used to some drills that youll b doing at practice so you dont look like a fool.. im in the same position as u, lol :D

[REDCHICKEN60]

Be good at dodging...I.E. Roll dodge, split dodge, face dodge...

[marocks59]

..........

[choloelatino26]

wtf its says "defensive checks" this is stance

[Alm0stJesus]

Once again expert village has failed miserably!!! FUCK YOU expert village for wasting everyones time!!!!

[scaine11]

no flow

[tjvk]

frosty ankles

[ishouldplayzelda]

i've heard it's a really violent sport. isn't it more 'legal assault' then a sport.

[JesusFrk472]

This and how to play lacrosse: defense stance

[AK47kilem]

WTF your supposed to split the field always

[Badboyz60000000000]

where are the checks

[drewson89]

yeah guys i play defense and my advice is dont be cheap and go to a camp. get off your ass and work hard to get good at the best sport ever :D (lax)

[MrJayJayFB]

is lax short 4 lacrosse?

[mininick0001]

yeah dawg

[DarkDescent321]

yes

[relientkfan101]

laxitives?

[sportskid327]

um, im on defense i jsut run into the player loll

[greenapples213]

This guy sucks. I mean he may be a good player but he sucks at teaching. Those were pathetic drop steps.

[Burghlax]

lacrosse exists in oregon? i didnt even know peopel live there.

[w333lt]

Your a fucking hater, get a fucking life

[Burghlax]

oh shut up u queer

[sportskid327]

LOLLOLOLOL

[Burghlax]

[capsaicinrain]

it also exists here in Louisiana.

[Burghlax]

haha oh wow....lacrosse in oregon and louisiana is kinda like hokey in africa

[capsaicinrain]

hah yea, but its growing everywhere man.

[Burghlax]

haha yeah ik. fastest growing sport in america

[marocks59]

its really booming in GA, i was playing it since its start down here, and we had one team. Now we have 7.

[capsaicinrain]

Yea here in Louisiana too. We have around 9 or so high school teams in the state, and we play a few from texas and mississippi.

[nickiesmooth12]

you play at the university of oregon,that in itself is a joke. club players must be really good...

[MCnefariousnude]

A club player for simon frasier just got drafted 5th overall for the NLL, so there clearly is some talent at the club level.

[capsaicinrain]

that's awesome, they bookmarked me on beRecruited

[TheSixespick]

simon frasier? in prince george?

[ryloc5575]

you dont even have a d-stick you fucking tard i actually play only mid and attack have to use a o-stick not real defenders

[cyrus8226659]

same but i play deffense and use a d stick lol

[tanner175]

plz call it a short stick not an O-stick cuz its not juust for offense. the position is called defensive middie and they play short stick defense.

[Badboyz60000000000]

cant even goddam pokecheck

[im1just1here1]

wear shorts that fit you >:|

[bballkp27]

my teams middies blow at D

[mmaurer26]

this video is soooooo stupid..... I thought it was REAL CHECKING! not this stupid moving around...

[mpool33]

maybe worst video ever lol

[lax1player6]

[SCOEN]

i know ther r no videos for long poles i hate that

[toxicfingerboards54]

this is now help to eneone its prefrence what works best

[marocks59]

yeah, i would think so go for it

[PjKabz17]

this video did not show how to check at all i learned that shit in basketball .....stupid

[SnyperNerf]

its like hockey so thts y i joined my school team

[thekidwiththefro]

wow im pretty sure this guys sucks at both life and lacrosse

[lallman00]

true dat

[rogueshdw]

now that ive played a bunch i know yur not supposed to shuffle....i hope other ppl are aware of that

[googlemaniafred]

Thanks

[googlemaniafred]

Im new to lacrosse. Any ideas for a good beginner stick? not defense. Are there specific sticks for mid and attack?

[orangenwhitehorn]

my first beginner stick was a blade 2.0 and kryptolyte shaft. both are amazing, and are decently priced. as for mesh, go with hard. unless you absolutely hate it, in which case, go with soft. however starting with hard is a lot easier then switching because hard shoots faster

[PjKabz17]

hey im new to lacrosse and im just wonderin how they decide to put you as a defense, midfielder, or attack?

[firestormcomputers]

You decide, just work hard at what you want to be. Choose what you want early on, so you can get better acquainted with the position.

[IfOnlyITried]

If your big and strong D is 4 u. Quick and strong arms (shot) then attack. If you have alot of stamina and want to fight for the ball ALL THE TIME then Mid is 4 u.

[BUCKEYSFAN33]

they usualy split u up like this im a defender so ill tell u how they split u up defender usualy is big and strong and likes to hit. midfielder needs to have lots of stamina and needs to be a fast runner.attack u need good stick skills and be able so shoot and pass really good hoped that helped

[marocks59]

woah, those were your first stick? holy hell

[spaghetticat3]

@marocks59 my first stick was a brine f15 with a mojo head and im still using it

[octember26]

use the cupid shuffle!

[rogueshdw]

im new. can defenseman score in lacrosse? or do they have to stay on the defensive side all the time?

[BLAKERSSSSa]

they can score but they have to have a midfeilder back at defense.

[rogueshdw]

wow thnx man.

To BLANKERSSSSa

[Shakenbake312]

i play basketball and this is all sounding familiar...

[diplax23]

ok guys im a big hitting pole man and what you want to do is put your headinto your shoulder, flex the arm that is towards the kid your hitting. get low and as you hit them you want to straighten your body

[hwm250]

im deciding on getting a talon beast or a

harrow howitzer help?????????????

[joeshmoe305]

get a protector the beast weighs 2 times as much as a krypto

[fhslax]

that might be good for hitting, but this is 1v1 Defense...trying to hit someone like that is asking to get burned.

[rogueshdw]

im new to lacrosse and since this video wont tell me how to check can some1 plz explain to me?

[Willifer85]

Same thing with me. If you find a good vid on how to check plz send it to me.

Willifer85

[bighead2280]

the key is to lett the bodyys hit dahh floor

[AIRWARE123]

oregon doesnt even have a boys lax team

[TENNISFREAK321]

hey sorry guys this was a while ago wen i didnt kno anything about lax damn i was stupid bak then but i love playing shortpole d at practice its fucking hilarious

[fhslax]

LOL, what is this crap? Any defenseman who shuffles is an idiot.

[jimmynoobtron22]

im new to lax, if you dont shuffle then what do you do

[fhslax]

just strafe right and left...if you shuffle you're retarded. Any attackman can run faster than a defensemen can shuffle anyway.

[wslax93]

wtf this shit suck

[Wavekid11]

I was really disappointed with this video. It said defensive CHECKS and all it had was the stance (which i already know). Not helpful at all. Other lacrosse videos are O.K.

[0HowarIL]

yea guys he sucks totally... but is that why hes on a D1 lacrosse team? yea retards how bout you get your facts straight before you run your mouth

[lax8196]

my stance is way different but by the comments i'v seen i think im doing it right =P

[pullume]

i dont think these vids are made for his benefit, do you? :)

[TitanLax17]

lol his stance sucks

[xvxpivotxvx]

lol no need to here me... u said it all xD

[dilbeckskate]

He is correct for a middie or attack player,

but really a defender should be kind of squating like a linebacker stance with your stick out in front of you, nice vid , how about some long stick vids

[uloveme78]

and u are a loser...

[Ak47srleet]

he says in the beginning its teachin the D stance, not how to play overall D. But i agree he doesnt kno shit. You stand like a boxer, you get your ass in a chair and crouch down a bit.

Oregon lax is a club, but they were the number 1 ranked club team in the US for a long time.

[laxguy484]

does this guy always wear the same stuff?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[syphonPSPfan]

expert village.......more like noob village

[graffattak]

if there noob village then how do they have over 73,000 vids

[wannnabeMadv]

wow i never knew that you can teach someone how to play one of the toughest positions in lacrosse in only one minute and 23 seconds its amazing

[flippride247]

nice helmet

[biggdav20]

lol he looks like a total fag the way hes bouncing up and down

[doomKthnx]

wtf he knows nothing

[TENNISFREAK321]

since wen did he say he was a middie hoopz

[super6961]

you dont know what your doing, look at your wigger ass with your shorts around your ankles

[motorhead101]

this fool is a joker...you dont shuffle when you play defense. youll get beat every fucking time. you run with your attackmen keeping your body square to him while your legs run parallel

[lloydram]

think this video needs a longer title

[capsaicinrain]

i agree

[drummerKid4Life]

do any of you know anything about this game i havent even played my first game and know that middies play D and Offense

[sincs999]

mate its the best game in the world - thats the most important thing u need 2 no. middies play D and attack. but mainly use a short stick. d players mainly use a d pole - but they dont have to.

[capsaicinrain]

dude, middies have to use a short stick, and defenders have to use a d-pole...from 50-72 inches in length

now sometimes there are "long pole middies" which is when a middie and a d player switch places so a long-pole can play the whole field

[NavySEALs523]

tennisfreak, you dont need a d pole to play d stupid shit... middies play d too.

[Skatelax]

You guys say he sucks but he plays for Oregon it looks like and they are savage as hell.

[motorhead101]

oregon! hahahahahahahaha there AWEFUL i bet there club too! look for instruction from REAL college lacrosse players not these tools on youtube

[TENNISFREAK321]

get a d stick stupid shit

[Hdgunnell66]

fuck off you dont even know how to play lacrosse you dont need a d stick to play deffensive.

hes using a short stick to show the position and movment .

[Hooopz44]

tennisfreak hes a fukin defensive middie hes not gunna use a fukin d pole learn ur shit b4 u speak and sound like an idiot

[anibaba10]

Someone needs to pull up his shorts.

[sportslynett44414]

all these videos suck ass

[14zander]

haha too right, i feel sorry for them

[NarutoLover182]

This vid sux balls ive been playin for 3 years and if someone was playin that bad d on me id lay his ass out

[killerbrad12345]

ok wow i play and taht vid sucked balls

[killerbrad12345]

i play d* and that* vid sucked balls

[hovallax41]

so........ that sucked

[yootoobdood18]

lmao this vid sucks ass...i dotn evan play d and i could tell u more...o and ur supposed 2 keep ur stick out in front of u, if the palyer with the ball is nt in front of u then u hold ur stick up to block passes. the only thing this vid talks about is shuffling and drop step...that basically comes naturally to any athlete

[iono101]

Is that how your supposed to do it? I thought I remeber my coach telling people to point your stick out all the way, so you you can keep poking them.

[sgreermp]

thats a poke check

[pebble32]

hes not holding it wrong, you hold your stick like that so that you can pick off passes quicker.

[NewYorkLax23]

uh i guess hes talking about a d middie... cuz your d pole should be straight out in front of you

[kings937]

dude hes wright

[laxinballas]

Yeah NYlax your right that isn't a real d player at all....And he needs to not draw in to much by putting his foot out towards the attack or middie

[Clevercrisis]

Why the hell isnt he using a D-pole?
