  3. Math concepts • Shot Speed • Position of a shot • Bounce shot

  4. The Lacrosse Ball • solid rubber ball • between 7.75 and 8 inches (19–20 cm) in circumference • (about 2.5 inches (6.5 cm) in diameter) • weighs between 5 and 5.25 ounces (140–150 g).

  5. Shot Speed • Record shot speeds exceed 120 mph • dr/dt= 120 mph
