What is Lacrosse? Lacrosse is a sport played with a lacrosse stick and a lacrosse ball. It is the oldest organized sport in North America, with its origins with the indigenous people of North America as early as the 12th century.[2][3][4][5]
There are currently 71 NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse teams, 93 Division II teams, and 236 Division III teams. Thirty-two schools participate at the NAIA level. 184 men’s club teams compete in the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association, including most universities and colleges outside the northeastern United States.

What are some of the rules of boys’/men’s lacrosse? From Wikipedia: Players use the head of the lacrosse stick to carry, pass, catch, and shoot the ball into the goal. Boys’/men’s lacrosse is a contact sport and all players wear protective gear: helmet, gloves, shoulder pads, and elbow pads.[7]
The regulation playing time of a game is 60 minutes, divided into four periods of 15 minutes each.[31] Play is started at the beginning of each quarter and after each goal with a face-off. During a face-off, two players lay their sticks on the ground parallel to the mid-line, the two heads of their sticks on opposite sides of the ball. At the whistle, the face-off [players] scrap for the ball, often by “clamping” it under their stick and flicking it out to their teammates. When one of the teams has possession of the ball, they bring it into their offensive zone and try to score a goal. Due to the offsides rule, settled play involves six offensive players versus six defensive players and a goalie.[32]
How is boys’ lacrosse different than girls’ lacrosse? The rules of girls’/women’s lacrosse differ significantly from boys’/men’s lacrosse. Whereas boys’/men’s lacrosse is a contact sport, girls’/women’s lacrosse does NOT allow body contact but does allows stick to stick contact.[8] (from Wikipedia)
