Method for manufacturing a lacrosse head pocket

A method for manufacturing a lacrosse head pocket comprising:

• providing a first mold defining a first plug cavity and a second plug cavity;
• extending a first cross lace between the first plug cavity and the second plug cavity;
• introducing a first polymeric material into the first plug cavity and into the second plug cavity, the first polymeric material encapsulating at least a portion of the first cross lace within the first polymeric material;
• allowing the first polymeric material to cure, thereby forming a first plug and a second plug in the respective first plug cavity and second plug cavity, the first plug and the second plug being disposed distal from one another along the first cross lace, the first plug, the second plug and the first cross lace forming a first plug unit;
• removing the first plug unit from the first mold;
• placing the first plug unit in a second mold including a first runner cavity and a second runner cavity, so that the first plug is disposed in the first runner cavity and so that the second plug is disposed in the second runner cavity;
• introducing a second polymeric material into the second mold, the second polymeric material encapsulating at least a portion of the first plug and at least a portion of the second plug;
• allowing the second polymeric material to cure, thereby forming a first runner and a second runner, the first plug being disposed in the first runner, the second plug being disposed in the second runner;
• and
• removing the first runner and second runner from the second mold,
• wherein the first cross lace extends between the first runner and the second runner, thereby securing the first runner to the second runner.
