The Britannica
(EB) defines Lacrosse: "competitive sport, modern
version of the North American game
of baggataway, in which two teams of players use long-handled,
racketlike implements (crosses) to catch, carry, or throw a ball
down the field or into the opponents' goal. The goal is defined by
uprights and a crossbar framing a loose net.
The distinctive
feature of the game is the crosse, the implement used by the
players to carry, catch, and pass the ball. The crosse is a staff
of wood, usually hickory, the top being sharply bent to form a
hook from the end of which a thong is drawn and fastened to the
shaft about 2 or 3 feet (0.6 or 0.9 m) from the end of the handle,
forming an oval triangle that is woven with a loose network of
leather, nylon, or gut to form the pocket with which the ball is
handled."

Lacrosse
: Fundamentals for Winning (Sports Illustrated Winner's Circle
Books)
By - David Urick, Bob Woodward / Paperback / Published
1991: a reader writes: I coach high school
Lacrosse in Missouri, and have found this book a valuable
tool in teaching Lacrosse to my players and their parents.
I also loan this book out to other coaches and assistant
coaches. The book is very comprehensive, but it is so easy to
understand, that a total novice at Lacrosse is able to
understand the game and even feel like an authority. It
covers rules, history and strategy. In an area where
Lacrosse is relatively new, this book is a
god-send. |

Indian Lacrosse : Little Brother of War
- By Thomas, Jr. Vennum / Paperback / Published 1994 - -a reader writes
" Vennum's work covers a neglected aspect of North American history:
the role of lacrosse in native culture. By examining varieties of the game
played across the continent, Vennum demonstrates that it was more than
just a sport. Lacrosse provided entertainment, served as a substitute
for armed conflict (and sometimes was a precursor to it), and was part of
native spirituality. Particularly fascinating is Vennum's ability
to weave the sporting aspects of the game with the sociological.
Also important is his investigation of how the majority culture
has taken this game and turned into something completely
different: with standardized plastic sticks and a for-profit
motive for playing. By taking the story all the way to the
present, the author reveals that to native Americans the game
still means much more, although many nations no longer even know
they once enjoyed playing the "fastest game on two feet.""
