The Game as a Whole

The history of lacrosse comes from Native Americans and because of this it is one off the oldest team sports in north America. The evolution of the game has changed throughout time due to the fact that the world has changed. For instance, They used to use wooden balls and have no netting in the stick but as technology changed around them for other things they applied their knowledge to the sport. The first "outsiders" to witness the game condemned it because it was too violent, involved betting and was part of the religion that they were trying to eradicate. Fortunately, the game was preserved and is now one of the fastest growing sports.
