The game Now

Today the game of lacrosse is very different than the game played by Native Americans but some things are similar. For instance, the Natives had strict rituals before each game and so do players now. Today players have strict eating requirements before each game to make sure they perform up to par. Also traditional lacrosse was played with no protective equipment, and these days kids and pro players alike try to wear as little padding as possible. Kids take the arm shoulder pads of the shoulder pads making it so they only protect your stomach. Also some kids don’t were any elbow pads and the ones who do wear them have tiny ones. The thing most different about the sport is that there is a set number of players that can be on the field at once. Also the technology of the game has improved much from the high tech aluminum shafts to helium inside a lacrosse head to make it lighter. Plus the technique of play has evolved a lot from running through people to passing around and complex plays. The overall game as a whole has changed but so has the way people treat the players. Now instead of being banned by foraners, people are being recruited to a division 1 college at the age of 14 or 15. This is viewed by most as outrageous but there is nothing they can do about it.

Mike, My introduction to lacrosse was about 7 years ago when my son started to play in the youth league in our town. I’ll admit that it’s taken me that long to “sort of” understand the game (I still get confused with some of the plays and calls). Although I like to watch baseball (it’s so American after all) and football, nothing compares to an exciting game of lacrosse! I’m happy to see that it’s gained popularity over the last decade. What an interesting history it has, going as far back as the Native Americans. I love the name of your club lax team, Laxachusetts! What position do you play and how long have you been playing? You’re off to a great start with your blog; I’m looking forward to returning soon to read (and learn) more! Mrs. A.
