The Modern Game • Today’s game is not quite as brutal as the game played by the Indians, but make NO mistake; it is a rough sport!! • Lacrosse involves all the hitting of football and hockey, all the running of soccer, and all the eye-hand coordination of baseball…. It is all the sports rolled up into one AWSOME GAME!!
THE FIELD • Lacrosse is played on a field similar to that of football and soccer. It is 110 yards long and 60 yards wide.
