Inner City Lacrosse

LACROSSEHistory Deemed the fastest game on two feet, lacrosse has a history that spans centuries and is the oldest sport native to the North American continent. Rooted in Native American ritual and religion, the game was often played to resolve conflicts, prepare for war, heal the sick and build strength.

Until the mid-1930s, men's and women's lacrosse were played under virtually the same rules, with no protective equipment. At that time, men's lacrosse rules began evolving dramatically, while women's lacrosse continued to remain true to the game's original rules. LACROSSEHistory

Object of both men’s and women’s lacrosse is to score more goals than the opposing team by shooting the ball into the opponent’s netted goal Women's rules allow 12 players on the field, limit stick contact, prohibit body contact and therefore, require little protective equipment Men's lacrosse rules allow 10 players on the field and some degree of stick and body contact but violence is neither condoned nor allowed LACROSSE General Overview

Lacrosse is played primarily in the spring Resembles strategies of basketball and hockey or field hockey on a field similar to a soccer field Players use sticks with aluminum alloy or titanium handles and plastic heads with mesh- or leather-strung pockets to catch, throw, scoop and shoot a solid rubber ball Games involve quick sprints, passes, a motion offense and shots on goal LACROSSE General Overview

Over the past decade, number of men, women and youths playing lacrosse has increased another 8.4% each year to reach the estimated 568,021 people playing today Level __ 2009_ Youth125, , ,271 High School100, , ,624 College 20,293 29,822 31,614 Professional Post-College 7,563 10,071 11,342 Total 253, , ,230 LACROSSEGrowth
