Claim:
A method for making a lacrosse stick head comprising: injecting a first plastic material into a first mold to form a base lacrosse head structure comprising a stop member, a first sidewall connected to the stop member, a second sidewall connected to the stop member, and a scoop connected to the first sidewall and the second sidewall opposite to the stop member, the scoop having a top surface on a ball-receiving side of the lacrosse stick head and an underside surface opposite the top surface, and the stop member, the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the scoop defining a pocket area; removing the base lacrosse head structure from the first mold; inserting the base lacrosse head structure into a second mold; placing the second mold in contact with a face of one of the stop member, the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the top surface of the scoop, wherein the second mold defines an interior cavity over the face, the face facing the pocket area, and the interior cavity formed over only a first portion of the face, a second portion of the face contacting the second mold, injecting a second plastic material into the interior cavity of the second mold to form an overlay adhered to the first portion of the face; and removing the base lacrosse head structure from the second mold, wherein the second portion of the face comprises exposed base lacrosse head structure and wherein the overlay adhered to the first portion comprises an isolated application that is adjacent to the exposed base lacrosse head structure of the second portion, such that the face is not completely covered by the overplay.
