How to Lace Up a Lacrosse Goal

Lacrosse is a sport native to North America. It was originally played by Native American tribes and then later by the European settlers of Canada and the United States. Modern lacrosse requires a large field and two goals equipped with nets in addition to sticks and a ball. The process for lacing a lacrosse goal is not complicated and requires no specialty tools or hardware. All that is needed to successfully lace the net is the lacing cord provided by the manufacturer of the net.

      Ensure that the net is attached to all four of the goal's corners with the mounting hardware provided by the net manufacturer. This will help keep to the net in place while the lacing cord is attached.

      Attach one end of the lacing cord to one of the bottom front corners of the goal. The goal will have a small circular opening into which the cord should be inserted and then knotted.

      Lace the net by threading the lacing cord through every fourth or fifth square in the net. Lace from the bottom of the goal post to the top taking care to wind the cord around the post. Continue the lacing process across the upright and then down the remaining post.

      Complete the lacing process by "locking down" the lacing cord at the bottom of the second post: After threading through a square near the bottom of the post, bring the lacing cord around the post and then under the section of the lacing cord that was just wrapped around the post. Secure the cord by tying a knot.
