Methods of attaching a tape to a head of a lacrosse stick. The tape includes a first side that is attached to the head, and an opposing second side with a number of different sections each with different frictional coefficient values. A first section may include a low friction coefficient value and is configured to be positioned along an outer edge of the head to facilitate sliding the head along the ground. A second section includes a higher coefficient value and is configured to be positioned along an inner side of the head to contact against the lacrosse ball to facilitate ball control. The tape is configured to be used with a lacrosse stick, but may also be used in various other contexts.
