Lacrosse or "lax" for short was played hundreds of years ago by native Americans. lacrosse is thought of to be the first American sport. of course the game is much different now then it was back then. the native amerians played as a form of fighting, to settle disputes, or competition between two tribes. there were hundreds of "players" on the "field" at one time, and the "ball" was a rock of animal hide in some form.
