The Sport

Lacrosse combines attributes of the most popular sports such as Football, Basketball, Hockey and Soccer. Many life lessons can be derived from this team sport such as sportsmanship, team play, physical conditioning, self confidence and field sports strategies, just to name a few. The Native American Indians believed this sport to be a gift from the creator and played the game as a demonstration of their physical prowess. They referred to the game as “the little brother of war” when the game was used to settle disputes between villages. Today’s game remains strikingly similar to the ancient game but is played on a well defined, Soccer sized field. The object is to score goals by using a stick (Crosse) and throw a hard rubber ball into your opponent’s goal. The opposing team defends their territory, thus creating the competition. Lacrosse is fast, physical and exciting for both the player and spectator. The game’s increasing popularity in the Central Pennsylvania area makes Lacrosse a logical addition to the sports currently offered for all age levels.
