5.0 out of 5 stars A must for coaches and players of box AND field lacrosse!, August 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Lacrosse Team Strategies (Paperback)
I can not begin to tell the sleepless nights I spent revamping and retooling our FIELD lacrosse team's offense with ideas from Hinkson's book. ALthough it is based on the box game, most of the principles apply directly (or can be modified) to the field game. Along with his fundmentals book, I highly recommend this book to any aspiring fan, coach, or player of the fastest game on 2 feet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arguably the best strategy book written for either field or box lacrosse, September 21, 2006

Billax (Orinda, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lacrosse Team Strategies (Paperback)
The reviewer below is apparently befuddled because Hinkson's classic book doesn't seem to be about Field Lacrosse. He is correct in that. This book is about Box Lacrosse, the indoor game that is Canada's National summer sport. Box Lacrosse and its variant, Indoor Lacrosse, are becoming increasingly popular in the United States and this book is THE BIBLE of Box Lacrosse. Moreover, many of Hinkson's principles of the game and descriptions of the coordination required among players are central to both forms of the game. This is, however, a thinking person's book. It not only describes what offensive and defensive strategies exist, but also why they work and when to use them, given the team composition available to a coach. If you want to KNOW lacrosse, rather than know about lacrosse, this is the book for you. Folks with a more casual interest in the game will likely find this volume WAY too detailed.

In my opinion, this is a five star book for field lacrosse coaches and serious fans. There are not enough stars available to give Hinkson his due if one is a fan of Box Lacrosse.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Hockey Team strategies", January 15, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Lacrosse Team Strategies (Paperback)
Although this book supplied a lot of information, it did not give the information i was looking for. For example...zone defenses are played with six players, and the game of lacrosse involves an "X" man...This book is more about hockey and basketball, and the diagrams used are that of a hockey rink! The proper terminology, atleast in Jersey and New York, is "Man-up" and not "Power-play!" The drills listed are very good, but I would not recommend this to a youth league coach who is starting a new program with little experience of the game.
