Lacrosse is the national game of Canada and was developed there around 1850, and later in the US in
1877, from the centuries old Indian baggataway, played by rival tribes with teams numbering
thousands. The name, French for "the crook," is from the stick used. The modem game is played on a
field 100 by 60 metres, with caged goals about two metres square. A team consists of ten players:
defence men, midfield players, attack players and a goalkeeper. The object is to score goals by
carrying, throwing or batting a sponge rubber ball with the stick, which has a 25 - centimetre net at
the end. Only the goalkeeper may touch the ball with his hands, and the game is divided into four
quarters of 15 minutes each.
