Lacrosse:
Technique and Tradition, The Second Edition of the Bob Scott Classic
by David G. Pietramala, Neil A. Grauer
Paperback from The Johns Hopkins University Press
ISBN: 0801884101
For thirty years Bob Scott's Lacrosse has been the ultimate guide
to the "fastest game on two feet," explaining the men's game at its highest
level and promoting the Johns Hopkins philosophy, which has become synonymous
with lacrosse excellence.
In this long-awaited updated edition, Coach Dave Pietramala, whose Blue
Jays won the 2007 and 2005 NCAA men's lacrosse championships, and Neil
Grauer, a Hopkins graduate and veteran writer on lacrosse, among other
subjects, have reworked every chapter, modernizing sections on rules, equipment,
preparation, and tactics. They revisit topics such as drills and skills
for specific positions, game strategy, clearing tactics, and the history
of the game itself--including a section on the Johns Hopkins contributions
to lacrosse. New diagrams and images help to clarify concepts and instructions
in the text. Action and instructional photos by Hopkins photographer James
Van Rensselaer capture some of the drama from the 2005 championship year
and accompany the teaching chapters.
Like the Bob Scott book on which it builds, this edition will soon become
familiar to every serious student of the sport. |

Lacrosse
Legends of the First Americans
by Thomas Vennum
Paperback from The Johns Hopkins University Press
ISBN: 0801886295
An ancient Native American sport, lacrosse was originally played to
resolve conflicts, heal the sick, and develop strong, virile men. In Lacrosse
Legends of the First Americans, Thomas Vennum draws on centuries of
oral tradition to collect thirteen legends from five tribes--the Cherokee,
Ho-Chunk (Winnebago), Seneca, Ojibwa, and Menominee. Reflecting the game's
origins and early history, these myths provide a glimpse into Native American
life and the role of the "Creator's Game" in tribal culture.
From the Great Game in which the Birds defeated the Quadrupeds to high-stakes
contests after which the losers literally lost their heads, these stories
reveal the fascinating spiritual world of the first lacrosse players as
well as the violent reality of the original sport. Lacrosse enthusiasts
will learn about game equipment, ritual preparations, dress, and style
of play, from stick handling to scoring. They will discover how the "coach"--a
medicine man--conjured potions to prevent game injuries or make the opponent's
leg cramp as well as how early craftsmen identified the perfect tree--marked
by a lightning strike--from which to carve a lacrosse stick.
The game is no longer played by large numbers of men on mile-long fields,
and plastic, titanium, and nylon have replaced hickory and ash, leather,
and catgut. As lacrosse continues to evolve, this collection will help
us remember and understand its rich and complex history.
