Lacrosse Net : What is it?
| Lacrosse nets are essentially large sheets of mesh fabric used as barriers or practice targets for lacrosse practices. They are stretched over rigid metal or synthetic frames and placed inside the lacrosse field. They usually have small pockets sewn into the corners for catching balls. Most lacrosse goals can be fitted with different mesh sizes, allowing them to be used for other goal sports like baseball and softball.

Kinds of Lacrosse Nets include the following: |
Barrier nets (lacrosse)
Barrier nets are used to block stray balls and prevent them from going over the field. They are usually placed behind lacrosse goals to block stray balls.
Target goals (lacrosse)
Target goals are stretched flat and have recessed pockets on all four corners. They are small and portable, and are ideal for use in backyards.
Shot nets (lacrosse)
Shot nets have small, deep pockets attached to the top at either end of the frame. Players try to drop the ball into the pockets from lacrosse sticks. They are commonly used for accuracy training or skill shooting. |

Size: Choose a lacrosse net in the right size for your intended use. Nets usually range in height from 10 to 12 feet. For backyard practice and skill contests, a small, lightweight net should be enough. Larger nets are ideal for full teams who regularly practice at a fixed field.
Portability: Choose a lacrosse net that you can easily carry and set up. Look for one made of lighter materials such as polyurethane or PVC, rather than steel or other heavy metals. Make sure the parts are easy to assemble and the net comes with simple setup instructions.
Durability: Make sure your lacrosse net can withstand all sorts of weather abuse. Look for such features as heat and cold resistance, mildew resistance, and waterproofing. If you will be setting the net up outdoors for long-term use, choose a rustproof frame and quick-drying net. |
