i was taught to step towards the ball to cut off the angle, and to step right before the ball releases or right as it releases from the shooter.

[PrimeSportsTraining]

How do you step before the ball releases? That is guessing. Wait to the ball comes out and then step out towards the ball at an angle.

This video is rediculous... I am a division 2 goalie. and you step to the shooter not the ball.. the ball can change directions. the shooter is in one fixed spot at release

[PrimeSportsTraining]

I could not disagree anymore. By coming out at the shooter, your momentum is moving forward - if the ball goes to the sides of you, it is tough to get to the ball in time.

what school made this video?...cause they might need a new goalie coach. i could go on and on about this.....this is almost how NOT to play goalie.

@PVvikings33 lol you get pads you get chest protectors goalie gloves with thick padding for the fingers and a throat guard thats almost impossible to break

[Jswizzle217]

@bugred ya that is wrong because it means you often step wrong or early putting you of position

[Jswizzle217]

lax balls cannot change direction. It is physically impossible for a human using a lax stick to impart of spin on a lax ball to cause it "curve" or change direction. This is a myth and goes against the laws of physics. The reason is unlike baseballs, basketballs, volleyballs, and tennis balls lacrosse balls are almost completely smooth. This means it isn't possible to generate varying air pressure (the cause of movement seen in balls) around a lacrosse making it impossible to curve them.

i dont play lax but it looks really hard to play goalie.... i mean you dont get pads, all you have is a stick with a large head......

My goalie is injured and can't play. We have a game on Thursday, no back up goalie. We are fucked. So I might try.

@northmen4999 no that's the difference between d3 and d1. D3 would wipe the floor with d2 any day.
