The utmost in portability and fun comes from our friends at Rage Cage, (www.ragecage.com). Rage Cage for lacrosse and Rage Cage for hockey mean you can have a high-quality net wherever you have a spot to play. All Rage Cage goals are one-piece collapsible units which setup in seconds, for easy transportation and storage.

My son and his buddies on the street have a roller hockey game at the end of the cul-de-sac every day after school. Prior to owning the Rage Cage a couple kids had cheap nets around a PVC pipe frame, and they hardly ever went out and played. They’ve taken a new passion for the sport in large part because the Rage Cage hockey net gives them true-to-life action. Because the net is made of heavy-duty steel, and thus is somewhat weighty, they’ve even devised a couple ingenious methods of transporting it down the street and back. Sometimes they use a skateboard to push it back and forth, other times one kid will lift the folded net and another will push him on his skates up to the garage. Once inside, its compact design means it only takes up about as much room as a child’s bike.

The Rage Cage is the hockey and lacrosse equivalent of the portable home basketball goal. And soccer is coming soon. No longer do kids need to go up to the school fields or the community center to play. Now, instead of taking your game somewhere because of the available equipment, you get to bring the equipment where you want to play.

Thunk. Thunk. Thunk. That’s what I hear down at the school every time I have a baseball practice with my team. It’s the sound of lacrosse players practicing off the tennis walls set up at the grade school playground. And though there is a sign prohibiting it, I can’t really blame them. A kid who wants to practice lacrosse by himself ought to have somewhere he can throw and catch.

There’s a better solution. And now the player can practice in the comfort of his own backyard, (or street), and not have to break the rules at the school. The Rebounder Wall from Warrior Lacrosse, (www.warriorlacrosse.com), allows players to practice throwing and shooting without needing a teammate, and the adjustable rebound positioning plays better than a wall.

You can find anything and everything you need for lacrosse at Warrior. If that’s your sport, a Rebounder should is definitely something you need.

Disclaimer: I’ve never played lacrosse, my kids have never played lacrosse, and I don’t even know the rules. Here is what I do know: It is one of the fastest-growing sports in America. Where I live, what was in recent memory a fringe, oddball sport played by a few kids who no one knew, is now ubiquitous. I bring my boys up to the school on Sunday afternoon to pitch them batting practice and there are a dozen kids with lacrosse sticks throwing it around. Many kids who played baseball with my boys have laid down the bat and glove in favor of the stick and net and there are now lacrosse leagues springing up everywhere.

So we decided to look for a company that takes the sport as seriously as the new generation of kids playing it. Warrior Lacrosse, (www.warriorlacrosse.com) seems to fit the bill. Warrior Lacrosse manufactures a full line of lacrosse sticks and heads, including the Revo Pro pictured here. The Revo Pro offers a pre-pinched super tight design for optimum accuracy and ball control. They claim that the reinforced sidewall design makes this head one of the stiffest and most durable in the sport. Their patented flared sidewall also keeps the ball centered in your choice of one of four the pocket designs. Warrior makes a multitude of heads, handles, helmets, gloves, as well as a full line of protective gear, apparel and footwear.

If you’re a lacrosse fanatic, the folks at Warrior speak your language. If you’re like I am and don’t know a crosse from the crease, a few clicks through Warrior Lacrosse.com and you’ll feel you’ve played all your life.

If you or your progeny play a sport where balls or pucks are shot into a goal, eventually you will become familiar with the Rage Cage, (www.ragecage.com). Frank Reeves loved to play lacrosse, but was constantly frustrated with the difficulty in finding fields equipped with goals. The former college player’s solution: If you can’t find a field with a goal, bring a goal to the field.

One-piece collapsible units that will fit into the trunk of a car, these patented products solve a variety of issues endemic to soccer, hockey and lacrosse. No longer do sports leagues need to worry about expensive goals being stolen or vandalized; no more torn and worn out nets from dragging heavy goals into place. The Rage Cage’s innovative system breaks down quickly and easily so that you can bring your game anywhere. Yet the goals are top-of-the line in quality and will likely be adopted as the standard in collegiate sports.

So if the growth of lacrosse has been hindered by the limitations of places to play, one of those hindrances has been diminished. And Frank Reeves will tell you, it’s only because he loves the game.
