Lacrosse: The Game
Since the beginning of man there has always been competition. One man versus another to see who is better at what they do or the game they happen to be playing at the time. Each country has a sport that has been played for ages. America is no different. What is the oldest active sport in America? The game of Lacrosse fits that description. “It is the oldest continuously played sport in America.” (World). Since its origin in early Native American times the sport of Lacrosse has greatly changed. Today lacrosse is a fast paced game that has evolved from the original version of the game before our nation was around. The game has an abundance of history behind it. Evidence of the game date back to 1612, were William Strachey wrote about Powhatan peoples playing a game we now know to be lacrosse. It later reappears in a document dating back to 1689 called An account of the Indians in Virginia (Aveni). Through the years it has been made clear that the game was played mostly throughout the eastern half of North America. Tribes in the southeast by the Great Lakes and in the St. Lawrence Valley area played the game most of all. Among these tribes were the Cherokee, Chicksaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, Yuchi, and many others. Till this day what remains of these former tribes still practice the game of lacrosse. The Ojibwe, Menomince, Potawatomi, Sauck, Fox, Miami, Winnebago, Santee, Dakota tribes from the
On what I have read about Tennyson I am not surprised by his reaction towards Brewsters help during his lacrosse games. The reason why I am not surprised by his reaction is because Tennyson loves to winn and is very competitive, so when he had Brewsters help he got upset because he thought that he was getting better as a player. Also Tennyson feels like he cheated in the lacrosse game. When he saw Brewster on his side in pain and that he was there at the game Tennyson got mad and felt super bad because he knew that Brewster was feeling his pain instead of hin feeling it. I think that Tennyson wants to feel his own pain, because he will know when the pain is too much and he can stop playing, but when Brewster is taking his pain he doesn't know

Lacrosse was started by the native Americans and was first known as stickball. These original lacrosse games were far different than those of today. Their games were major events and took place in fields ranging from 500 yards to several miles with up to 100 to 100,000 players. In modern lacrosse the field is only 120 yards long and there are 10 players on the field for each team. Lacrosse was first founded as a sport in 1856 by a Canadian dentist named Dr William George Beers.
Growing up in a small farm town in Wisconsin, few people would thing that a future NCAA lacrosse player would be on the come up. This athlete would have some of the best coaches and the worst coaches in that the game had to offer and would drip all of the knowledge they had. This athlete even fewer would know that he had an idea of being a great lacrosse coach and inspire other athletes to reach for things that they never thought they could aspire to. This athlete is me and I come from Waunakee, Wisconsin which is a small football farm town that dose not have many NCAA athletes come from it and even fewer lacrosse players that play the sport in the area. Like as was stated before I have had amazing coaches who pushed me to better and other

Trevor Baptiste is one of the best and most well-known lacrosse players in the world.
The heat bears down on me, as I feel my skin burning in the hot summer sun. Dust and dirt floats around the air and a thin layer of grime covers my entire body. Sweat drips around my goggles while adrenaline fills my body and my heart races. In the middle of nowhere in Virginia, I feel at home, I feel the turf under my cleats and the cool metal of the stick in my hands. As the timer ticks down, the buzzer rings, and the game begins. I look to my left and see my dad sitting on the sideline, ready to cheer as loud as possible. To my right I find my teammates, the most loyal group of friends I have, ecstatic about the potential of winning.
Our claim was accepted because as the years have gone on lacrosse has grown with it. As mankind continues to flourish with technical advancements they continue to do better in their daily lives. This determination to do better can be seen in the fast paced game of lacrosse. Lacrosse was started by the Native Americans and was originally known as stickball.

Lacrosse is the oldest team sport in North America, having been played by Native American tribes long before any European had even set foot on the continent. A century after European missionaries discovered the game played by Native Americans, they began to play it themselves, starting in the 18th century. From there, it evolved and grew in popularity from a very savage game that resembled war, into what it is today, a recreational sport played widely in America and other countries. As U.S. Lacrosse literature aptly puts it "Lacrosse is a game born of the North American Indian, christened by the French, adopted and raised by the Canadians, and later dominated by the Americans.”
The game was initially played in the St. Lawrence Valley area by the Algonquian tribe and they were followed by other tribes in the eastern half of North America, an also around Western Great Lakes. The Native American games were seen as major events, which took place over several days. They
Both Lacrosse and Ice hockey are two sports that share similar aspects. One example would be that they both require plenty of athletic prowess, as well as countless hours of training and practice to master. The high amount of contact in both sports enables a player to become both physically and mentally "tough". Lacrosse has grown to its highest level of popularity it has ever reached over the last ten years. Ice hockey has seen a steady climb in its popularity over the past 25 years making it one of the most popular sports in not only Long Island, but all across the U.S. However, there are many differences as well, and we should not overlook the fact that there are plenty of distinctions between the two

We head back every day I have lacrosse practice at 3:30 until 5:30 that is the best practice ever because all we do is get in the middle and get on top both 1v1 games against your own teammate. I used to play D-pole like I said but now it is easier to use a short pole. I go through my day of 3 hours in the morning of practice at the plains across the street and hanging with friends doing more lacrosse. Then it becomes 3 and I have to leave for lacrosse so I grab my gear bag and longer leaving my long pole there.
U.S soccer started when the English settlers came to populate America. The game was originally played across an entire town with two nets at either end. Players tackled each other to get the ball to one end of the town and in a
