Who created lacross?

Answer 1

Centries ago in the Native American tribes. It was played for many reasons such as preparing for war or healing the sick. At the time when Lacrosse was used to prepare for war, players used fields that were miles long and either had a single target to hit or two posts that the ball had to pass through. The balls at that time were made of wood, clay, or deerskin. Lacrosse was discovered by the Jesuits in the 1630s. During this time many tribes would come together and play in huge tournaments throughout Canada. Not until the 1800s did the French really pick up on the game, later giving lacrosse its name. The first women's lacrosse game was played in 1890 in Scotland. About thirty years later it finally came over to the America's and became popular in colleges around Maryland. Throughout the years women's lacrosse has stayed true to the original set rules while men's lacrosse made some drastic changes. Women's lacrosse still prohibits body contact and limits stick contact unlike men's which require full equipment to protect their bodies. All rights Reserved to
