Book Reviews of Lacrosse For Dummies
Book Review: Great, if you're Canadian
Summary: 2 Stars
Jim Hinkson's books are generally good. However, they are for box lacrosse - the indoor version of the game. Box lacrosse is not that popular in the US where field lacrosse is the dominant form of the game. If you're looking for something on field lacrosse look at Lacrosse: Fundamentals for Winning (Sports Illustrated Winner's Circle Books) or Lacrosse Technique and Tradition.Book Review: Misleading title
Summary: 1 Stars
The title is misleading. It is not about the game of lacrosse as we know it in the United States.
I assumed that I could trust the "Dummies" books to be a good general resource. However, this is not published in the U.S.
It is mostly about the game of "box lacrosse" played indoors in Canada. The section on coaching your players how to cross-check pretty much says it all about how useful it is to the U.S. youth coach or player!
Book Review: Review of Lacrosse for Dummies
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is not about lacrosse played on grass fields. It is about indoor "box" lacrosse.
I'm sure it's a fine box lacrosse book, and some drills would cross over, but you need to be clear that this book is not about "normal" lacrosse.
I also bought "Lacrosse Technique and Tradition" by Hopkins Coach Dave Pietramala. That one is great.
