Lacrosse is a sport that is not very common and not that many people know what lacrosse is. This sport is interesting because it is a new sport and it’s fun. For example it’s similar to football mix with soccer but in this sport you use sticks with nets. It’s like football because one team tackles the other team to get the ball and in soccer you have to get the ball in the net. Lacrosse is a unique combination of speed, skill, teamwork, fitness, grace and historical significance. Lacrosse is currently the fastest growing sport in the United States. Native Americans are the ones who invented this sport in 1794, but the details about how it was played remains a mystery. The first women’s lacrosse game was played in Scotland, 1890. This game was originally used to toughen up young men for war. This sport can be fun if u learn or know how to play. It can be exciting to play a sport that has been around for many years like the other sports.
