How to cradle

In lacrosse, boys and girls both cradle different ways so this will be just for girl lacrosse players. To cradle a stick, put your hands just like you are about to throw (see earlier post).Hold the stick up so the head is right next to your face, and have your thumb and index finger touch around the bottom, and put the bottom of the stick, along with your hand, at the opposite hip. Then start to move the stick back and forth from your ear, back over to your face, and keep on going back and forth to master the motion. The point of cradling is to keep the ball from being checked out of your stick or just falling out, during a game or even while just passing around.
