How to throw an over the head check

The benefit of throwing an over-the-head check in men's lacrosse is that it can effectively dislodge the ball from the opponent's stick, creating turnover opportunities and disrupting their offensive play. This check also applies significant defensive pressure, forcing the ball carrier to make quick decisions, which can lead to mistakes. Additionally, a successful over-the-head check can intimidate and frustrate the opponent, giving your team a psychological advantage.
