Great video from Marty O'Neill. I highly recommend watching this and doing the drills. My kid is a box goalie and loves his Max Lax shins, pants, uppers, and goalie gloves. A few runners on his team have the ribs and shoulder pads and they are great.maximum Lacrosse makes top notch gear!
Another trick I learned was to use a hockey net instead of a box lacrosse net to practice, for the same reasons to use a regular stick instead of a goalie stick.
