GLax -- the draw, +
Got out to a Saturday game. Very cloudy and rain off and on. There was a bit of scoring, so the girls kept having to do a draw. I got a lot of chances. This looks a bit like a series, but is actually shots from multiple draws...
(For those not familiar with girls lacrosse, the draw starts play after each score--like a faceoff in hockey. The girls have the place between the backs of the sticks, and on the refs whistle they both push their sticks upward--trying to direct the ball to either themselves or their teamates...)
The ref sets them up...
Waiting for the whistle...
It's up...
The fight begins
After picking up the ground ball...
And now, just some other shots from the game...
One of the rainy moments
C&C always appreciated....

FWIW... the shot on goal is a superb capture, IMO. the only c&c i might offer/suggest is a tighter crop, to isolate the
shooter and the goalie. As a photog of some renoun on SportsShooter and over at Fred Miranda (not me,
anyway very nice set. show us more, pls.
thanks for sharing

Good point! # 10 really does need to be out of that shot. I actually had cropped this one down quite a bit from the original. I had broken one of my usual rules of not shooting at too great of a distance. I was actually behind the far endline on this shot, off to the the right of the goal--so about 100+ yards away from the goalie/main subject. It just so happened that nobody got in the way between me and the goalie and I happened to time it somewhat decently. The girl actually scored off this shot--but in this picture it appears the goalie is tracking it and will certainly save it...
