Hey everyone. I am in the 8th grade and this will be my first year playing organized lacrosse. I have played many times with my friends who are good, and I know how to catch good, but I need to learn some of the basics,rules, and i need to learn how to throw. First off, I don't know anything about what equipment to buy. I will play defense and all i need to buy is a shaft,head and gloves. I need advice on a shaft and head. I dont want to spend a lot of money because if i get cut all the stuff will go to waste.I also need help on how to play defense better and what to do. Thanks for the help.

The main thing you need to think about while playing defense is staying in position and moving your feet. A defenseman who doesnt move his feet will get beat. Dont try to take the ball away until you are comfortable with the stick and playing defense. Run with your man and throw poke and slap checks on your man wrists/hands.

Stickwise, the stx vanandium is pretty cheap and a decent shaft. Head wise id go with something wide, either an edge or proton. The av8 can be found on a complete defense stick too and is a solid head. If you dont want to buy new you can try the classifieds and buy some higher end gear for cheap becuase its been used
