My lower back frequently hurt after practice when I

first started. I worried about it a little until I

realized (by feeling around on my back) that it was

the muscles next to the spine that were painful, not

the spine itself. These muscles were getting work

they hadn't had before and were sore, just like my

hamstrings, quads and deltoids frequently were

initially. The soreness went away as my practice

became stronger and more regular.
