The game is played with a lacrosse stick and lacrosse ball. The sticks head has mesh that is used to carry, pass, catch and shoot the ball into the goal of the opponent. There is no limit to running with the ball. The traditional version of lacrosse originates from Native Americans almost 1500 years ago and now its back into the olympics. Unlike a lot of sports the men's and women's version are very different (read below)
It has been described as ice hockey on a field. Without a puck or ice but with a hard rubber ball. A lot of physical contact between players is allowed. This is also why each player wears a helmet, chest and elbow protection, as well as a mouthguard, a cup and gloves. (there is a variant called box lacrosse as well which many famous ice-hockey players like Wayne gretzky, John Tavares and Doug Favell have played. This is even more extreme, played on a hockey rink without ice and so even more similar. We do play this time to time)
In this version of the sport, only limited to no physical contact is allowed and thus you wear only a mouthguard and sometimes goggles. The ball is lost less often due to physical contact and more due to someone hitting the top of the stick of the ball bearer.
