Lacrosse

The university that fielded the nation's first college lacrosse team was New York University.

kinda. it all depends on what position you play in lacrosse. lacrosse is faster because of the posistion of middie and attack they are the ones on the team that run notice how basketball players stop and dribble then shoot or pass lacrosse is always running cause of defence and the shots of lacrosse will beat bball anyday

New York has amazing lax. Some of the best laxers come from there. Maryland is also a decent lax machine too.

To be honest I didn't even know Nike made lacrosse sticks. if I were you I would stick to the good quality popular brands like STK, Brine, Harrow, Warrior, Maverick, etc.

Nike has the backing of STX, who have engineered and marketed the Nike lacrosse line. The heads & handles are made by STX (many of the Nike handle patterns bear a strong resemblance to current STX handles). Nike product warranties go through STX. We like the heads & handles but are not sold on the protective gear.

To clean a Lax head you take out all of the mesh and then bleach the head.

Syracuse Orange men's lacrosse was created in 1916.

Men's lacrosse heads can be strung a variety of ways. A men's lacrosse head is usually strung with 10 diamond hard mesh. A woman's lacrosse head is strung in a way called traditional. This type of stringing is required for regulation women's lacrosse. Men's heads can be strung traditional as well as long as the pocket meets the level of regulations such as NFHS or NCAA. Women's lacrosse heads have the ability to be strung with mesh, though it will not meet women's game regulations.

In college lacrosse, Johns Hopkins has won 44 national championships -- 35 of these were earned prior to the first NCAA Division I tournament in 1971.

There are 10 teams in the MLL.

1) LA Riptide 2) San Francisco Dragons 3) Washington Bayhawks 4) Boston Cannons 5) Chicago Machine 6) Denver Outlaws 7) Long Island Lizards 8) New Jersey Pride 9) Philadelphia Barrage 10) Rochester Rattlers

There are only 2 sizes of sticks in the sport of lacrosse, long poles and short poles. Long poles are generally used for defense and short sticks are generally used for offense. You will choose your stick length based on the position you play.

Middies, but there are two kinds, defensive middie and offensive middie.

im a defensive middie

there are 10 players on a lax field at one time. 3 attackmen, 3 defense, 3 middies, and one goalie

The crown (round top that goes on the head), bill, button (on top of crown), team initials (logo) on face of the crown, manufactuers tag and size (back, inside crown), and MLB logo on the rear of outside of crown (MLB team caps only).

Yes, In football everything is done by the book and there's really no freedom like there is in lacrosse. In lacrosse you can do tricks and draw up your own play on the run. Also lacrosse takes more stamina and endurance. In football you get a break every fifteen seconds whereas in lacrosse a play can last over five minutes of non stop running and hitting. Although both are a contact sport lacrosse requires more mental and physical toughness and strength. You wear small pads in lacrosse for more mobility and speed so when you get hit, you get hit hard. Lacrosse is a faster paced game and is also is referred to as "The fastest game on two feet". Lacrosse was first used as a war game in Canada to train Indians on how to fight. I played both Highschool football and lacrosse and I can say that lacrosse was more physcially demanding than football. I often found myselft taking a hard beat down by another player in lacrosse at least two to three times a game but the best part is giving it back....................................................................................................this guy doesnt know what he is talking about. he obviously plays lacrosse and has probly never even worn a football helmet. so shut your face. football is a war on a feild. a war were nobody dies. yes we have breaks here and there but our intensity during those plays can not be matched with lacrosse. yes, lacrosse is nonstop but football players energy is 1000 times more in one play then probly half a lacrosse game. speed and endurance have nothing to do with thoughness.i have played both sports and i can tell you with the full truth that football is harder then lacrosse.......................ill just put it how it is. lacrose=running the whole time, hitting with metal poles, getting hit way harder with less pads. football= *throws ball* one guy gets hit ok lets all rest guys that was tiring

60 inches typically

The professional lacrosse league called Major League Lacrosse was founded in 1999 and had its first season in 2001. Plus are you talking about women or men?

The regulation net is 6ft by 6ft with the net being drawn 7ft behind the goal making a pyramid shape.

well it may depend on the type of stx head or warrior shaft,,, usually they can but you may have to drill a new hole. i had an stx proton power on my warrior krypto pro, and all i had to do was drill a new hole.... hope this helped :)

every thing counts as one, in the pros there is a line that if shot behind, it counts as 2 points

You use RIT dye, that can be purchased at any local drugstore, supermarket, hardware store or arts and crafts store.

Not very big. About the size of a mens pro regulation sized baseballs, but made out of rubber.

Paul Rabil got serious about lacrosse as a freshmen in high school

Lacrosse originated back with the Indians and it is still unclear what year it actually started. They played lacrosse as a war training game to get them ready to fight. Their games lasted days and days and many people would die in the process because they would have thousands of people playing at one time, and no rules.
