Lacrosse
there were no out of bounds. you could run as far as u want
The game begins with two middies facing off in the center of the field.
The game of lacrosse was first used as a war game to settle disputes between tribes
In Lacrosse's current form, men's lacrosse is played on a field of grass or artificial turf (such as Field Turf). Each team is composed of 10 players on the field at a time: three attack men, three midfielders, three defenders and one goaltender. In men's lacrosse, players wear protective equipment on their heads, shoulders, arms, and hands, as body checking is an integral part of the game, and stick checks to the arms and hands are considered legal. Now, that is a big difference from how the Native Americans played lacrosse. As you can see, lacrosse has slowly developed into more of an advanced form of lacrosse. Since lacrosse's debut in the Native American age, lacrosse has changed in a lot of ways. including the sticks, the amount of players that are allowed on the field, the size of the lacrosse field, the ball that they use to play, the goals, the positions, etc. Pretty much everything has changed since. The game has always required tremendous athletic skill. In early games, just running up and down the field was a great feat. Goals could be as far as 500 yards to half a mile apart and no sidelines limited the playing area. Games lasted two to three days with "time outs" between sundown and sunup. Compared today there are four quarters in very game, and each quarter is 15 minutes long. The only real main part of the game that remained the same was the concept of the game of lacrosse, to have fun, and to knock people out.
In 1963
Native American tribes were the first to play.
The university that fielded the nation's first college lacrosse team was New York University.
they are related because there is field lacrosse and field hockey which are both played on fields. The object of the game is the same score the most goals by the end of the game to win. In both sports there is body checking.
Nobody is quite sure when the game of Lacrosse was first played. The game dates back to the Indian times, with the Ojibwa, Mohawk, Iroquois, and Choctaw tribes. The game was played in fields, with no boundaries and no padding of any kind. In the game, the only rules were you couldn't use your hands. Women were not allowed to play lacrosse, as the game often got very physical. Goals were spread anywhere from a half a mile, to several miles apart. There could be anywhere from 50 to 1000 people playing at a time.

Lacrosse was first seen and documented by a french soldier who called it lacrosse because of them using sticks.
