About Lacrosse
Lacrosse is a team sport, played with a rubber ball, and a long-handled racquet. The objective of lacrosse is to advance the ball up the field by passing or running with it, and shooting it into the opponents goal.
Lacrosse History
Lacrosse was first played by the Native Americans, specifically the Algonquian. The game was used as part of religious ritual, to resolve conflicts, heal the sick, develop strong men, and prepare for war. The first lacrosse games are thought to have taken place in the 12th century. These games consisted of teams composed of 100 to 1000 men. In 1637, Jean de Brebeuf, a French Jesuit missionary, was the first European to write about the game. He named the game lacrosse. The rules for lacrosse were refined in Montreal, Canada in 1867, by Dr. William George Beers. In the United States, lacrosse has primarily been played in Maryland, New England, upstate New York, Long Island, and Mid-Atlantic states. In recent years the sport has spread to other states. Today, lacrosse is played at the high school, college, and professional level.
Lacrosse Tips
Stick handling is a key skill in lacrosse. Players should practice passing and catching on the run, and scooping the ball off the ground.
