Lacrosse is one of the most exciting sports in existence, and as a result its popularity is growing extremely fast throughout the United States. Many public-school systems now offer both boys and girls lacrosse programs, and there are numerous town and regional recreation and travel leagues popping up to support the demand.
Lacrosse was invented by the Native Americans in what is believed to be the 12th century. Contests were seen as major event, often taking place over several days. They were played for recreational and religious reasons, and also to toughen up young warriors for battle.
Lacrosse is a team sport played with a lacrosse stick and a lacrosse ball. Players use the lacrosse stick to carry, pass, catch, and shoot the lacrosse ball into the opposing team’s goal. At the end of the game, the team with the most goals is the winner.
