(lacrosse) a quick change of direction by an offensive player to create space for receiving a pass
A V-cut in lacrosse is a type of movement used by players to get open for a pass. The player makes a sharp cut in the shape of a "V," starting by moving in one direction and then quickly changing direction to receive the ball. This movement helps shake off defenders and creates space for the player to catch a pass. The V-cut is an important skill for offensive players, as it allows them to get free from their opponents and be in a good position to score or make another play.
