Lacrosse is a fast-paced team sport played by ten players (men) or twelve players (women), each of whom uses a netted stick (the crosse) in order to pass and catch a very hard rubber ball with the aim of scoring goals, each worth one point, by propelling the ball into the opponent's goal.
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.
In women's lacrosse, players are not allowed to touch the ball with their body or cover the ball with their stick in order to scoop it into their stick or protect the ball from picked up by an opponent.
