A fun sport which involves the fast action of basketball combined with the hits of football and
hockey. The goal is to move the ball around through
set plays or transition offense and
shot the
ball into a goal. While there is a misconception that lacrosse is gay, its quite the opposite. In lacrosse, the defense is tasked with hitting the other players and playing team defense to take the ball at the other team.
The goalies are probably the craziest players on the field as they stand in the goal with nothing but gloves, helmets and a chest
pad and try to stop a
shot coming at over 90 miles per hour.
Another misconception is that lacrosse players are unathletic. This is completely false. At lower levels this statement my be applicable but in
college, you will find some of the best athletes playing lacrosse. I play division 2 lacrosse and I run a 4.5 40-yard dash and im not even the fastest on my team.
Baseball players: "Why do you
play lacrosse, that's so gay, you must not be athletic"
Lacrosse players: "sorry I dont like to stand around for 3 hours trying to
hit a
ball"
