Lacrosse

Lacrosse is a fast-paced team sport that involves using a small rubber ball and a long-handled stick called a crosse or lacrosse stick. The objective of lacrosse is to shoot the ball into the opposing team's goal, while preventing the opposing team from scoring in your own goal. Lacrosse combines elements of basketball, soccer, and hockey, and is considered America's oldest sport.

Lacrosse requires agility, speed, and endurance, making it a highly competitive and physically demanding sport.
