-Lacrosse is a team sport that is played by ten players (men) or twelve players (women), each of whom uses a netted stick (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. The team scoring the most points after four "quarters", of varying length from competition to competition, and overtime if necessary, wins\n\n\n\n-Outdoor men's lacrosse involves two teams of 10 players each competing to project a small ball of solid rubber into the opposing team's goal. The field of play is 110 yards (100 m) long and 60 yards (54 m) wide. The goals are 6 feet (1.8 m) by 6 feet and contain a mesh netting similar to an ice hockey goal. The goal sits inside a circular "crease", measuring 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter.\n\nPlayers line up with 3 offensive players called "attackmen"(The players who shoot on the opposing team's net), 3 "midfielders" or "middies"(The players who shoot on the opposing team's net and also defend their own net), 3 "defensemen"(The players who guard their own team's net), and 1 designated goaltender, or "goalie"(The player that stands inside the "crease" and blocks shots from coming in, like in hockey). Each player carries a stick (the French settlers, upon seeing the Native Americans using the stick, called it la cross (the crosier); hence the cool name "Lacrosse"). Lacrosse sticks may measure between 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) and 42 inches (106.68 centimeters) long (a "short crosse"), or 52 inches (132.08 centimeters) to 72 (182.88 centimeters) long (a "long crosse"). The designated goalkeeper is allowed to have a stick from 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) to 72 inches (182.88 centimeters) long. The head of the crosse on both long and short crosses must be larger than 6 inches at its widest point and it must also be 2.5 inches wide or wider at its narrowest point. The head of a goaltender's crosse may measure up to 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) wide. Although most of the time attackmen and midfielders use short crosses, defensemen, along with one midfielder when his team is on defense, carry long crosses, some teams choose to distribute their sticks differently; this is not uncommon because a team may only have 4 long crosses on the field during live play, excluding the benches and penalty boxes. Most modern sticks have a metal shaft, made usually of aluminum or titanium, while the head is made of hard plastic. Metal shafts must have a plastic or a more popular rubber cap or ("butt") at the end, and it must be adequately taped to avoid injury although some butts are capable of staying on without tape. The heads are strung with string and leather or mesh. This forms a net of whatever material was used in stringing the stick called the "pocket".[2]\n\nGoaltender's sticks vary in length but are typically between 42 inches (1.27 m) and 60 inches (1.52 m) long, and their heads are significantly larger than field players' heads to help in blocking shots. Goalies at the youth levels commonly use short crosses because they are not capable of handling the true goalie crosse.\n\nPlayers scoop the ball off the ground and pass the ball through the air to other players. Players are allowed to run carrying the ball with their stick. Unlike in women's lacrosse, players may kick the ball, as well as covering it with their sticks, provided they do not withhold it from play. Play is typically quite fast. Considerably more goals are scored than in soccer or hockey, with typical games totaling ten to twenty goals.

If I had to guess, I'd say lacrosse--I see it popping up in high schools in unusual places, which feed into college programs (men's AND women's), which feed into....?  No way to prove it--just a hunch...

yea yea its intense midfield all out. Attack is for lazy stickhandlers, long pole is for big guys, but all take great skill to be good. Lacrosse is great.

What teams are you asking about? What staff? If you add some details, maybe someone could answer your question. But copying a question from a text book without giving any context makes it impossible for people to help.

Field lacrosse is the greatest sport on this planet. Too many people are ignorant of this great game. It combines the aspects of every major sport.\n\nHockey - sticks, body checking, different ways of shooting, penalty box\nBasketball - pick and rolls, technical game, personal and technical fouls\nFootball - scrums for loose balls, can't hit from behind, you're allowed to kick the ball to score a point\nSoccer - ten people on the field, field is as big as a soccer pitch, goalie can use his hands to block a shot\n\nLacrosse is a thinking man's (woman's) game. Strategy, speed, strength, and power are all required to excel at this great game. Don't knock it unless you've played it.

Your all wrong In order to play in the NCAA you need to have a womens hockey team as well. Penn State doesent have one so they are considered a club team, basically they have to pay to play. Take it from me I am a hockey player and I was offered a position on the team but I declined.

well, I'm not sure if most people don't know what it is, maybe just the people you're talking to. But Lacrosse isn't played in very many schools, typically only in the more affluent ones, so that may ahve something to do with it.  It was "invented" by native american tribes, and pioneer men used to play it with them, except it was much more of a contact sport then.

Ever heard of Google? Type 'Lacrosse' and you'll find:\n\nBRIEF HISTORY\nWith a history that spans centuries, lacrosse is the oldest sport in North America. Rooted in Native American religion, lacrosse was often played to resolve conflicts, heal the sick, and develop strong, virile men. To Native Americans, lacrosse is still referred to as "The Creator's Game." \n\nIronically, lacrosse also served as a preparation for war. Legend tells of as many as 1,000 players per side, from the same or different tribes, who took turns engaging in a violent contest. Contestants played on a field from one to 15 miles in length, and games sometimes lasted for days. Some tribes used a single pole, tree or rock for a goal, while other tribes had two goalposts through which the ball had to pass. Balls were made out of wood, deerskin, baked clay or stone.\n\nThe evolution of the Native American game into modern lacrosse began in 1636 when Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit missionary, documented a Huron contest in what is now southeast Ontario, Canada. At that time, some type of lacrosse was played by at least 48 Native American tribes scattered throughout what is now southern Canada and all parts of the United States. French pioneers began playing the game avidly in the 1800s. Canadian dentist W. George Beers standardized the game in 1867 with the adoption of set field dimensions, limits to the number of players per team and other basic rules.\n\nNew York University fielded the nation's first college team in 1877, and Philips Academy, Andover (Massachusetts), Philips Exeter Academy (New Hampshire) and the Lawrenceville School (New Jersey) were the nation's first high school teams in 1882. There are 400 college and 1,200 high school men's lacrosse teams from coast to coast.\n\nThe first women's lacrosse game was played in 1890 at the St. Leonard's School in Scotland. Although an attempt was made to start women's lacrosse at Sweet Briar College in Virginia in 1914, it was not until 1926 that Miss Rosabelle Sinclair established the first women's lacrosse team in the United States at the Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore, Maryland.\n\nMen's and women's lacrosse were played under virtually the same rules, with no protective equipment, until the mid-1930s. At that time, men's lacrosse began evolving dramatically, while women's lacrosse continued to remain true to the game's original rules. Men's and women's lacrosse remain derivations of the same game today, but are played under different rules. Women's rules limit stick contact, prohibit body contact and, therefore, require little protective equipment. Men's lacrosse rules allow some degree of stick and body contact, although violence is neither condoned nor allowed.\n\nField lacrosse is sometimes perceived to be a violent and dangerous game, however, injury statistics prove otherwise. While serious injuries can and do occur in lacrosse, the game has evolved with an emphasis on safety, and the rate of injury is comparatively low. Ensuring the safety of participants is a major focus for US Lacrosse and its Sports Science and Safety Committee, which researches injury data in the sport and makes recommendations to make the game as safe as practicable.
