If you are looking for a shoe to improve your lacrosse or field hockey game look no further than the Asics GEL-V Cut®.  The Asics GEL-V Cut® field shoe is perfect for lacrosse or field hockey. 

It features Rearfoot GEL® cushioning system.  Asics says that this benefits you because it attenuates shock during impact phase and allows for a smooth transition to mid-stance.  This pretty much means that when you are running and your foot hits the ground you are not going to feel it as much. Also after hitting the ground with the back of your foot you will easily glide to mid-foot stance.  Most people know about Asics GEL® and how comfortable it is.

They also feature Solyte® Midsole Material which is a lighter weight midsole compound than Asics standard EVA and SpEVA®.  Also the Solyte® features enhanced cushioning and durability.  This make the shoe lighter and more comfortable to wear.  It is definitely nice to have a shoe that is light and comfortable, it seems to make you run faster and have more fun playing the game.

The GEL-V Cut® shoes also feature Asics PGuard™ Toe Protector, this protector enhances toe durability.  So not only do you have good heal protection, midsole comfort, you also have toe protection.  This makes a perfect field sport shoe in my opinion.

The GEL-V Cut® is available in men's and women's and available in two models.  You can get it in the regular or the Turf model.  They both feature the HG10mm® heel set-up.  The regular model is excellent on all field conditions and the Turf performs excellently on synthetic or hard ground fields.

Well there is a manufacturer right here in the good old USA that can ship a wide variety of custom basketball uniforms in as little a 10 days.  How much would you be willing to pay for service like that? Oh did I forget the other good news- pricing- custom for the price of most companies stock uniforms.  So who is this miracle company...

The most common question I get when someone wants to buy a basketball net is...  What's the cheapest anti whip net you got?

Ok I am thrifty too but the cheapest, as many of you know I'm sure, is not always the most economical purchase.  There are times when the cheapest may be important... outdoor hoops for instance.  Net on outdoor hoops are constantly being destroyed by vandalism or players hanging on them.  Here is where I recommend my cheapest anti-whip net. Believe it or not though there are still high quality nets available and to be honest investing $20 a pair could save you money in the long run as well as providing a better playing experience.

Let's take a look at a few of our options from least expensive and up.

Most of our customer buy our standard anti-whip basketball net and would be surprised to find out that for just a dollar more they could be buying our "deluxe" anti whip net that features a larger 6mm diameter cordage.  While this is only a 1mm difference in cordage diameter the result is a much stronger net that will last longer.  At around $5 a net you can't go wrong.

Next we step up to Carron Net Anti Whip Nylon Basketball Net.   This is the original absolute anti whip net.  Pioneered by Carron Net, the original Anti-Whip design is the very best for Professional, College and High School team use. The top half of these nets are made of durable fibers encased in tough 100% nylon and prevents the net from whipping up on the rim. The lower half of the net is Carron Nets strongest nylon. Use on all no-tie hoops.  While more expensive at around $9 a net you will get more bang for your buck with these nets.

Last but not least, and sort of a blast from the past is the Carron Net Anti Whip Cotton Basketball Net.  The fine tightly woven strands of 100% cotton are extremely durable.  This net is best used indoors as it is a natural fiber and should be kept dry.  The upper portion of the net is encased in nylon so it is anti whip.  These aren't the most expensive basketball nets on the market but at around $20 bucks or more a pair they could still be considered an investment when it comes to basketball nets.

Consider yourself informed now.  If you've been in the game for a decade or more I'm sure you've used these types of nets in the past and I encourage you to give them a try again.  As athletic budgets are dwindling throughout the country it may be hard for many people to justify buying top end basketball nets but as many have experienced the top end nets could last much longer saving you money in the long run... not to mention the aggravation of constantly changing those cheaper nets.

Dodge Ball has been around for many years it is played mostly in physical education class but there are also leagues popping up all over the place.  While adult league can get away with being rough it is a good idea to play as safe as possible in physical education class.

Basic Play: There are 4-10 players per a team/side.  The dodge balls are placed on the center line at the start of the game and the players start at the back line.  The number of balls depends on the number of players in the game.  You can have enough balls for each player or a couple less to make it interesting.  The ref of the game yells dodge ball and the players run to the center line to collect the balls.  Once a ball is collected the player needs to run back behind the safety line before he or she can throw the ball at a person on the opposing team.  If person is hit by a ball they are out of the game and sit in the out area.  The only way someone can get back in the game is if a person on their team catches a ball that is thrown at them.  If a ball is caught then a player from the side that the ball was caught goes back into the game.  The object of the game is to get everybody on the opposing team out.

There are many different kinds of balls that can be used in the game of dodge ball but the safest is the Rhino skin foam dodge ball.  This ball is not only safe but affordable.  The ball measure 6" so it is perfect for any size hands.  These balls are made tough so they can take the abuse of a physical education class.  These balls come in rainbow sets of 6 as well and are available at www.morleyathletic.com.

While dodge ball may seam like a rough activity and safety should be a concern at all times, the game offers many valuable skills.  It teaches teamwork, agility, and situational awareness.  Situational awareness is a term used by fighter pilots, it is basically the skill of always knowing what is going on in your surroundings.  Being observant to the point that your defensive guard can react to any incoming obstacle.  This is a skill that should be developed throughout ones life and is useful in situations from driving to business negotiations.  So next time you are teaching dodge ball, just think, you may be training a future fighter pilot!
