Lacrosse
Lacrosse, invented by the Native Americans, is a popular team sport in North America and a national summer sport for Canada. It involves the use of nets, or "heads" as they are called, which consist of a wooden or metal shaft with a net on the end. Hockey is a game based on this sport.
[change] How the game is played
Lacrosse has two teams, each with ten players. There is one goalie, three defensemen, three midfielders and three attackmen. The goalies defend the goals, and if the ball goes into the goal, the team who got the goal scores. Whoever scores he most goals by the end of the game wins, with an overtime period being played if the game is tied. The game has four quarters and starts with a "faceoff" at the beginning of each quarter. A faceoff is when the ball is on the ground to start the game, and one person from each team fights for the ball.
