Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports in America today. In this day and age there are more youth programs, high school programs, college programs, and professional programs, than there ever has been. What a lot of people don't know is that lacrosse is the oldest sport in America and it was created by the native Americans. Lacrosse is truly the American sport because it was created here by native Americans on America soil. Of course the sport was played a little differently back then their sticks were different like in the picture above you can see that those sticks are very old and lacrosse players use much more strong and advanced sticks today. Also lacrosse used to be just men, but it has expanded to boys and girls of all ages so everyone can enjoy the fun. Another difference between Lacrosse played by the native Americans and present day is that The Native Americans used to play to settle disputes and their games could go on for days. Also the native Americans would use violent tricks to unsure the win like rocks. Today lacrosse is no more than an hour and a half per game and is as safe as possible with protective gear.
