Lacrosse allows players to score by placing a lacrosseball into the opponent's goal. It is played on 110-yard fields, with four quarters. The team with more points wins in regulation play. There are some changes to the scoring rules in overtime. If a team fails to score within a certain time frame, it is considered man down.
Lacrosse players have different gear according to their position. Goalies must wear chest protectors and throat guards. Additionally, players are required to wear helmets and gloves. Auxiliary equipment such as resistance trainers or agility ladders can be used to aid speed improvement.
When the time comes for a player to score a goal, they must first drop their stick. A referee will check the pocket depth of the stick and make sure it does not exceed the allowed level. The referee may penalize the player for using a stick too deep to score goals. This is crucial because the player could sustain serious injuries if the ball hits the throat.
Offensive players are often able to shoot from the center of the field. The attacking player then shoots a pass or a shot to the goal. These plays are sometimes called "man-up" situations. The attackmen are more likely to score goals than the defense players.
Defensive player cannot shoot from behind the goal. Defensive players are able to cross the crease, and shoot at the other goalie. In some instances, penalty shots can be free on an eight meter arc.
The goalie-crease is a nine-foot diameter circle. Lacrosse players are protected, unlike other sports that don't protect the goalie. They are responsible for protecting their goal and those trying to score.
For making saves and throwing passes, goalie sticks have larger faces. The tape must be secured to the stick's end cap in order to prevent players from losing their grip. The position and skill of the player will affect the head.
For men's cross, full helmets are required. Women's cross requires no protection for the head. Women's lacrosse also only allows stick-to-stick contact. Some players wear headbands to stop sweat sliding down their arms. Men and women both must wear mouth guards.
In addition to protecting players from concussions, a mouthguard helps players avoid biting their tongues and teeth being knocked out. The headband will prevent sweat from sliding down players' cheeks or eyes.
Men's and women's lacrosse can be played with the same rules, but there are several differences in the scoring rules. Both men's or women's lacrosse games are played on the exact same field. This gives both teams many opportunities to score goals.

How To
How can I start Base Jumping?
Base jumping, also known as free-fall parachute, is a sport that involves participants leaping from fixed objects (usually cliffs), like bridges, towers or buildings without any equipment. To safely land, the participant jumps from the object. It is similar in nature to skydiving. You don't need a parachute and you don’t need to hold your breath until it opens.
The most common type is a wingsuit jumping suit. A wingsuit consists of two pieces, each piece of fabric being sewn together. One piece covers your chest and arms while the other covers your legs. The boots enable the jumper to stand upright while in flight. The jumper pulls on the straps to his/her feet to descend. This causes the material covering the legs and legs to bunch up. This creates a large air pocket underneath the jumper. When the air pocket grows large enough, jumpers can open their parachute to land safely.
Base jumpers may use powered suits to propel themselves faster through the air. Two main components of powered suits are a backpack with batteries and a pack that can be worn underneath the jumper's clothing. These packs contain small rockets that shoot jets of hot gas at high speeds. This creates a thrust that propels the jumper forward. These suits are loud and heavy, however.
BASE jumping can seem intimidating to some people. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. There are several ways to die while doing BASE jumping: you could fall off a steep cliff, hit an obstacle head-on, upside down or collide with another jumper. Although BASE jumping can be dangerous in some cases, it can also prove to be extremely dangerous if done wrong. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
Practice safe BASE jumping techniques starting on a small hill. It is important to take some time to get used to the terrain before you attempt to jump off of a higher hill. Watch out for weather conditions. Try to jump when the wind isn't blowing in your face. Also, avoid foggy skies. If you see more than 10 feet ahead of yourself, then you might need wait until the cloud clears. Make sure you have the proper gear. A helmet, goggles, gloves and a full-suit with a harness are all essential. Fourth, be sure to have a plan. In case something goes wrong, you should ask another person to come along with you. Never, ever jump alone. Always have someone else watching over you.
