	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.

		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.

		In box lacrosse the goal is smaller (4' X 4') than in outdoor lacrosse (and the goaltender usually bigger).
