		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.
		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 Summary
		Lacrosse is a fast-paced team sport played by ten players (men) or twelve players (women), each of whom uses a netted stick (called the crosse) in order to pass and catch a very hard rubber ball with the aim of scoring goals, each worth one point, by propelling the ball into the opponent's goal.
		Canadians most commonly play box lacrosse, an indoor version of the game played by teams of six on ice hockey rinks where the ice has been removed or covered by turf; the enclosed playing area is called the box, in contrast to the open playing field of the traditional game.
		Lacrosse world championships have been dominated by the United States, particularly in the men's game, where the only world championship game loss at either level was in the 1978 final to Canada.
