Ask the coach TOM KENNEDY - Head lacrosse coach at Moeller for eight years, compiling a record of 87-32; played college lacrosse at perennial powerhouse Syracuse. Q: What talents do I need to play lacrosse? Is the sport as dangerous as believed, and is it expensive? A: To play the sport of lacrosse you need speed and you have to be mentally tough. We ask for a 12-months-a-year commitment from our lacrosse players if they aren't playing another sport. We ask them to participate in weight training and off-season conditioning programs. Lacrosse is not a dangerous sport. In eight years we've had three knee problems and quite a few bumps and bruises. Equipment, which includes a stick, helmet, gloves, shoulder and arm pads, costs Tom Kennedy about $200, but every year we have a used equipment Lacrosse not dangerous sale.
