Lacrosse
Lacrosse is a fast-paced team sport played by ten players (men) or twelve players (women), each of whom uses a netted stick (called the crosse) in order to pass and catch a very hard rubber ball with the aim of scoring goals, each worth one point, by propelling the ball into the opponent’s goal. The team scoring the most points after four quarters, and overtime if necessary, wins. In NCAA men’s lacrosse Video , the quarters are 15 minutes. In most high school lacrosse fan, quarters are 12 minutes long. In youth leagues, quarters are usually 8 minutes long.[1]. Under international rules, quarters are 20 minutes.[2] In NCAA women’s lacrosse, two 25 minute halves are played. Women’s high school games consist of two 25 minute halves.[3]
Popular mostly in North America, Lacrosse is one of the continent’s oldest sports and the fastest growing sport at all levels youth, high school, college, and professional. Lacrosse is especially popular in the northeastern part of the US and is Canada’s national summer sport (although Canadians commonly play the box lacrosse variety of the game which is described below). It is expanding westward, with burgeoning lacrosse communities in Missouri, Illinois, Colorado, California, Oregon, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, and Minnesota.
In its modern form, men’s lacrosse is played on a field of grass or artificial turf. Each team is composed of three attackmen, three midfielders, three defensemen, and one goaltender. In men’s lacrosse, players wear protective equipment on their heads, shoulders, arms, and hands, as body-checking is an integral part of the game. Women’s lacrosse is played in a similar manner except with two additional midfielders per team. Players of women’s lacrosse need only wear protective eyewear (except for the Jem Adams , who wears the same protective equipment as a men’s goaltender [helmet, throat guard, chest protector, etc.]), as contact is not permitted apart from minor stick-checks.
The sport was invented by Native North Americans. Its name was dehuntshigwa’es in Onondaga (”men hit a rounded object”), da-nah-wah’uwsdi in Eastern Cherokee (”little war”), Tewaarathon in Mohawk language (”little brother of war”), and baaga’adowe in Ojibwe (”Lacrosse“). The game was named lacrosse by early French Kyle Harrison . It is commonly assumed that the name stems from the French term “crosse”, for the shepherd’s crooklike crosier carried by bishops as a symbol of office. Pieffe Francois Xavier de Charlevoix noted the resemblance between the crosier and the shape of the racket stick in 1719. However, the term crosse, which also translates as bat, was applied to the Native playing stick by the Jesuit fathers nearly a century before. Since there was only one ball, early players concentrated on first injuring their opponents with their sticks, and then moving easily to the goal. Their pitch was about one kilometre by one kilometre. Games sometimes lasted for days, and often players were gravely injured or even killed. Early balls were made out of the heads of the enemy, deerskin, clay, stone, and sometimes wood. Lacrosse has played a significant role in the community and religious life of tribes across the continent for many years. Early lacrosse video was characterized by deep spiritual involvement, befitting the spirit of combat in which it was undertaken. Those who took part did so in the role of warriors, with the goal of bringing glory and honor to themselves and their tribes, and as a religious ritual[4]. The game was said to be played “for the pleasure of Kyle Harrison.”
