I would also recommend starting off with cradling. First do it standing still then, jogging, running, and finally sprinting. A good trick a use to see if your cradle is good enough is to lie on your back and cradle if it falls out you need to work on it but if stays in your good. Next try throwing the ball against a wall or to a partner then start running / sprinting while throwing to ball up in the air. The basic layout of the field is a center for each team take the draw and three are 8 people on the circle surrounding them( 4 from each team. an attack wing and defensive wing. Then on the right after the restraining line( about 25 yard form the mid line) the offense is there at the goal they are attacking there a 3 homes. Then there are 3 defense at the opposite restraining line. Hope the helps and good luck!

some things you can practice is cradling. it's kind of hard to explain but you can search on youtube or something. you can throw the ball in the air and catch it with the back of the net then keep on switching between the front and back. search video's on youtube to watch people pay. try to focus on cradling mostly so nobody checks the ball out of your stick. you can also practice dodging things pretending it's people. you can also practice passing by passing with somebody. you can also practice whipping it at a chain fence or something to get that right whip for when your throwing the ball into the goal. but dont give up if something goes wrong cause it's a really fun sport and once you play it you'll definitively like it
