Lacrosse, a field sport not wholly unlike soccer or hockey, is one of the
most popular sports in North America. It might not enjoy the same broad
appeal as other competitive sports do, but the skill required to play and
the excitement it generates keeps it going year after year. Collegiate
and professional lacrosse continue to expand throughout the United States
and Canada.
Lacrosse is played on a field which is 110 yards long and 60 yards wide. Like hockey and soccer, defensive and offensive players are on the field at the same time, passing the ball forward to their attackers so they can score goals. Each player wields a lacrosse stick, or crosse, to field the ball. Each side also has one goalie, the team's last line of defense against an opponent's ability to score.
The crosse is the most important piece of equipment for a player, besides padding. Each player's stick consists of two parts, the shaft and the head. Many lacrosse sticks come in one piece, but you can buy two independent parts if you are looking for particular designs. Some players, for example, prefer a certain type of stringing for their head, while demanding a tougher shaft to help when play gets particularly rough.
