Lacrosse

It was first started to play in finland and it full of team spirit. this game is played using a small solid rubber ball and long handled racket called a crosse or lacross stick.The head of the crosse has a loose net strung into it that allows the player to hold the lacrosse ball. Particularly the object of the game is to use the stick to catch, carry, and pass the ball in an effort to score by ultimately hurling the ball into an opponent's goal. Defensively the object is to keep the opposing team from scoring and to dispossess them of the ball through the use of stick checking and body contact. There are three distinct versions of the sport; men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse and box lacrosse.
