An Introduction To Lacrosse

Everyone has watched it, been amazed by it and thought it looked like fun. Lacrosse is a team sport that requires a fast pace and quick judgment. Each team consists of 10-12 players (10 men or 12 women) whom use netted sticks in order to control a rubber ball. The object of Lacrosse is to score by guiding the rubber ball into the opposing team’s goal.

Lacrosse is extremely popular in North America where it is the oldest known sport and still remains one of the fastest growing. Everyone from children to high school, college and professional Lacrosse athletes are at continuous play. Lacrosse is widely adored throughout the United States and it’s Northeastern region, but is perhaps most highly honored as Canada’s national summer sport. Fans in the Western United States need not worry, however, as the sport is steadily moving toward increased popularity in Colorado, California and Oregon. Even the sunshine state in the Southeastern United States is catching on, along with other southern states such as Tennessee and Texas.

Lacrosse is played on a competition field made of grass or artificial turf and with lacrosse goals on each end. Both men’s and women’s Lacrosse competitions are much the same with the main difference being the required protective gear. Women competitors are only required to wear protective eye gear whereas gentlemen athletes are required to wear a lacrosse pinnie, protective headgear, shoulder equipment and protective hand wear.

The sport of Lacrosse was originally invented by North Americans. Originally designed as a very intense, physical sport, players used their netted sticks to make contact with their opponents and then clearing the way for them to score a goal. In their earliest days, Lacrosse games often lasted for several days. Because the sport was so physical and encouraged contact between players, some competitors were seriously injured during the early years. However, contact is no longer permitted in Lacrosse as we know it today. The object of the game is to direct and guide the rubber ball to victory without harming, or inflicting pain upon, any players on the opposing team.

Individuals who would like to learn more about Lacrosse, are interested in participating or simply want to stay abreast of the latest news, happenings and live events may visit lacrosse.org. In addition, website visitors may be able to read additional historic facts, player profiles and information on contacting the organization.

Egypt Football Clashes: At Least 73 Dead

At least 73 people have been killed after a football pitch invasion in Egypt, officials say.

Clashes are said to have broken out as fans flooded the field seconds after the game in the northern coastal city of Port Said finished. Some reports say the death toll is as high as 73.

Hundreds more had been injured amid reports of rocks, bottles, flares and fireworks being thrown, health ministry officials told state TV.

It is being described as the worst disaster in the history of Egyptian football.
s details of the violence emerged, a football match in Cairo was called off in mourning and television footage showed sections of the stadium on fire. An announcer said the blazes had been started by fans angry over the cancellation.

A security official and a medic in Port Said said fans of the home team, Al Masry, swarmed the field after a rare 3-1 win against Al Ahly, Egypt’s top team.

They threw missiles at other fans and injured some players.

A medic at a morgue in the city said some of the dead were security officers. The causes of the deaths were not immediately known.

Some players were taken to a locker room for protection, a player, Sayed Hamdi, told state TV.

The country’s football federation has now “indefinitely delayed” all premier league matches.
