	Lacrosse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lacrosse is a fast-paced team sport played by two teams of ten players each who use netted sticks (called the cross) in order to pass and catch a rubber ball with the aim of scoring goals by propelling the ball into the opponent's goal.
		Lacrosse is especially popular in the northeastern part of the US and is Canada's national summer sport.
		Canadians most commonly play box lacrosse, an indoor version of the game played by teams of six on ice hockey rinks from which the ice has been removed; the enclosed playing area is called the box, in contrast to the open playing field of the traditional game.

	Box lacrosse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Box lacrosse was invented in the 1930s as a way to promote business for ice hockey arenas, and quickly became the most popular version of the sport in Canada.
		Box lacrosse is also played to some degree in the United States and Australia, though primarily by players brought up by the outdoor game.
		Box lacrosse and field lacrosse are played under two very different sets of rules and on very different surfaces, however most of the national representatives of the Canadian and Iroquois Nationals field lacrosse teams are primarily box lacrosse players.

		Lacrosse is a team sport played by two teams of ten players each who use netted sticks (called crosses in French) in order to project a small rubber ball into the opponents' goal.
		Designating lacrosse as an official sport is more of a nod to history than a reflection of the present-day situation, because very few people in Canada actually play or follow lacrosse, certainly far fewer than follow or play hockey, football, baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, golf and other sports.
		In box lacrosse the goal is smaller (4' X 4') than in outdoor lacrosse (and the goaltender usually bigger).
