Abstract: The purpose of this study was to construct and validate a series of color film loops to illustrate selected women's lacrosse techniques for beginners. The content to be included in the film loop series was based on a careful search of the lacrosse literature and the responses to a questionnaire by well known experts in the field. The film loop series consisted of ten techniques: THE GRIP-CRADLE, PIVOTING, CATCHING, THE OVERARM PASS, THE UNDERARM PASS, PICKING-UP: BALL STATIONARY - BALL ROLLING AWAY FROM PLAYER, PICKING-UP: BALL ROLLING TOWARD PLAYER, DODGING, BODY CHECKING, and CROSSE CHECKING. Each film loop consisted of the title, followed by execution of the technique three times at 24 frames per second and two times at 70 frames per second for each angle viewed. Two members of the 1973 United States Women's Lacrosse Team served as performers of the techniques included in the film loop series.
