Well, my post this week is about Lacrosse, this is a team sport played mainly in north America (United States and Canada). It's a rough sport, since you need physical contact to win the opponent. To play it you need equipment; gloves, helmets (for boys) and a lacrosse stick, which is designed to catch the ball, hold it and then pass it to your partner. The objetive of the game is to score by shooting the ball into the opponent's goal.
This sport dates back to the year 1000, comes from America as I said before, but the original game was different from the current one, it usually lasted 3 days or so, and they played in ceremonies.
This is not a very popular sport, so it doesn't have many exponents, but in America there is a national Lacrosse League, which is the largest men's post collegiate club lacrosse league. Nowdays the 2012 champion is a club called Magerk's.
I personally like it because is one of the few sport I can watch without getting bored, it keeps you busy and alert to all the players' moves. Even though it is a rough sport, it is not dangerous at all, because it has clear rules to keep the players away to hit each other.
I'm not part of a lacrosse team and I've never been, but there was a lacrosse team in my high school and I really enjoyed watching the games, and cheering for our school team!! I would've love to play it but i suck at  any kind of sports so they would've kicked me out of the team haha.
