lacrosse question...?

Question

how many players play on a lacrosse team and how long are the matches? are they seperated into halfs, periods, or quarters? how big is the field in relation to a soccer field? football field?

Answer 1

-Lacrosse is a team sport that is 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. The team scoring the most points after four "quarters", of varying length from competition to competition, and overtime if necessary, wins



-Outdoor men's lacrosse involves two teams of 10 players each competing to project a small ball of solid rubber into the opposing team's goal. The field of play is 110 yards (100 m) long and 60 yards (54 m) wide. The goals are 6 feet (1.8 m) by 6 feet and contain a mesh netting similar to an ice hockey goal. The goal sits inside a circular "crease", measuring 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter.

Players line up with 3 offensive players called "attackmen"(The players who shoot on the opposing team's net), 3 "midfielders" or "middies"(The players who shoot on the opposing team's net and also defend their own net), 3 "defensemen"(The players who guard their own team's net), and 1 designated goaltender, or "goalie"(The player that stands inside the "crease" and blocks shots from coming in, like in hockey). Each player carries a stick (the French settlers, upon seeing the Native Americans using the stick, called it la cross (the crosier); hence the cool name "Lacrosse"). Lacrosse sticks may measure between 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) and 42 inches (106.68 centimeters) long (a "short crosse"), or 52 inches (132.08 centimeters) to 72 (182.88 centimeters) long (a "long crosse"). The designated goalkeeper is allowed to have a stick from 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) to 72 inches (182.88 centimeters) long. The head of the crosse on both long and short crosses must be larger than 6 inches at its widest point and it must also be 2.5 inches wide or wider at its narrowest point. The head of a goaltender's crosse may measure up to 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) wide. Although most of the time attackmen and midfielders use short crosses, defensemen, along with one midfielder when his team is on defense, carry long crosses, some teams choose to distribute their sticks differently; this is not uncommon because a team may only have 4 long crosses on the field during live play, excluding the benches and penalty boxes. Most modern sticks have a metal shaft, made usually of aluminum or titanium, while the head is made of hard plastic. Metal shafts must have a plastic or a more popular rubber cap or ("butt") at the end, and it must be adequately taped to avoid injury although some butts are capable of staying on without tape. The heads are strung with string and leather or mesh. This forms a net of whatever material was used in stringing the stick called the "pocket".[2]

Goaltender's sticks vary in length but are typically between 42 inches (1.27 m) and 60 inches (1.52 m) long, and their heads are significantly larger than field players' heads to help in blocking shots. Goalies at the youth levels commonly use short crosses because they are not capable of handling the true goalie crosse.

Players scoop the ball off the ground and pass the ball through the air to other players. Players are allowed to run carrying the ball with their stick. Unlike in women's lacrosse, players may kick the ball, as well as covering it with their sticks, provided they do not withhold it from play. Play is typically quite fast. Considerably more goals are scored than in soccer or hockey, with typical games totaling ten to twenty goals.

Answer 2

Are you kidding me? Definitely lacrosse, really. Football gamers would not live to tell the tale an afternoon without all of the babying they get. Pads and in poor health up lovers and accidents. Let's get truly right here for a moment, if a soccer participant picked up a lacrosse stick and performed even only a part, he could be performed. LaCrosse is by way of some distance no longer the simplest recreation. So I believe lacrosse wins this wrestle.

Answer 3

Yeah we always play on a soccer field. For women its 11 players plus the goalie. Men have one more player. We usually have 2 25 or 30 minute halves and a 3-10 minute half. Guys have four 15 minute quarters, I think.

Answer 4

women's lacrosse-
2 25 or 30 minute halves
11 players
