Lacrosse is a fast-paced team sport played by two teams of ten players each who use netted sticks (called crosses in French) in order to pass and catch a small rubber ball with the ultimate aim of scoring goals by propelling the ball into the opponents' net.

Indoor lacrosse is a version of box lacrosse played professionally during the winter not only in regions where summer lacrosse is popular but also in regions where lacrosse is rarely played in summer.
Lacrosse is a spring and summer team sport of Native American origin played with netted sticks (called crosses).
Canadians most commonly play box lacrosse, an indoor version of the game played by teams of six players on ice hockey rinks from which the ice has been removed; the enclosed playing area is called the box, in contrast to the open playing field of the traditional game.
In indoor lacrosse players may use only sticks with hollow metal shafts (box lacrosse permits solid wooden sticks) and may not crosscheck (crosschecking – hitting another player with the stick with one's hands apart on the shaft – is legal, within limits, in box lacrosse).
