A lacrosse head comprising: a stop member; a left sidewall connected to the stop member; a right sidewall connected to the stop member; and a scoop connecting the left sidewall to the right sidewall opposite the stop member, the lacrosse head having a shaft axis along which the lacrosse head is adapted to receive a shaft, the stop member, the left sidewall, the right sidewall, and the scoop defining an interior area of the lacrosse head, the interior area comprising a rearward section disposed proximate the stop member, a forward section disposed proximate the scoop, and a catching section disposed in between the rearward section and the forward section, the scoop being disposed about 25.5 cm from the stop member, the catching section being disposed from about 6 cm to about 17 cm from the stop member, the left sidewall being a greatest distance apart from the right sidewall at a widest point within the catching section, the greatest distance being measured perpendicularly to the shaft axis, the left sidewall being convex with respect to the interior area at a portion of the left sidewall between the widest point and the scoop, and the right sidewall being convex with respect to the interior area at a portion of the right sidewall between the widest point and the scoop, wherein the distance between the left sidewall and the right sidewall, measured perpendicularly to the shaft axis, continually decreases in a direction from the widest point to the scoop.
