Abstract: A lacrosse stick string arrangement for receiving and manipulating a ball, the lacrosse stick having a head frame including a top wall portion, a bottom wall portion, and a pair of sidewalls which connect the top wall portion and the bottom wall portion. The string arrangement includes at least two longitudinal thongs extending in a spaced apart substantially parallel relation relative to the central longitudinal axis of the head frame, the longitudinal thongs being coupled to the top and bottom portions of the head frame, a plurality of flexible netting material extending between and intertwined with the longitudinal thongs, and a sidewall connection mechanism for connecting the flexible netting material to the head frame at the outer periphery of each sidewall.
