Lacrosse is a team sport that originated from the Native Americans. Legends speak of over 100 warriors from different tribes participating in games played in a wide field. Modern lacrosse is played with two opposing teams with 10 (Men’s) or 12 (Women’s) players per team. Warrior equipment back then was simply a wooden stick with webbed leather pockets for catching the ball (made of deerskin, clay or stone). Helmet equipment was none existent.
Together with the original rules of play, lacrosse equipment has evolved since the time of the Native Americans. Manufacturers now use titanium alloy, synthetic materials, hard plastics and other cutting-edge materials to ensure safe and proper game play. Modern lacrosse uses the following:
- Lacrosse stick or shaft – made of different materials and for different player positions
- Lacrosse head or pocket – which can be bought strung or unstrung
- Head equipment – protective mask, mouth guard, throat guard, chin straps and helmet
- Gloves, shoulder pads, arm/elbow pads and rib pads
- Chest protector (goalie’s)
- Protective cup (Men’s)
- Ball – solid rubber
- Mesh equipment – nylon net with lacing cord attached to a steel frame
- Apparel equipment – official team uniforms, jerseys, lacrosse shoes with cleats and other athletic wear
