The FASTEST sport on two feet, and one of the fastest growing sports in the US!
Lacrosse is a fast-paced, exciting sport that combines the best aspects of many sports. Boy's lacrosse is a contact game played by ten players: a goalie, three defenseman, three midfielders, and three attackman. The object of the game is to shoot the ball into the opponent's goal and to keep the other team from scoring. A goal is scored when the entire ball passes the plane of the goal. The team scoring the most goals wins.
