Clubs--Lacrosse

Information on lacrosse clubs can be found under this Yellow Pages® heading. Lacrosse is a sport that combines aspects of several sports, such as soccer, hockey, and basketball.  The sport is played on a field slightly longer than a football field, and is usually played in an outside environment.  Lacrosse is a contact sport, that involves picking and throwing a small ball with a ‘Crosse’, or a long stick-like object that has a net on the end of it.  The sport is very popular in Europe and Australia.

If you love lacrosse, you should think about joining a club.  Clubs offer benefits such as being on a team, practising, playing in a competitive environment, etc.  Lacrosse teams are usually formed on a community, school, university, or professional level; which you are allowed to join respectively.  School and university levels of play will generally not include any type of fees aside from uniform or equipment purchase, as the coach is being compensated via his or her school salary.  Conversely, community clubs might require membership fees to help pay for the playing facility rental, etc.  In this case, coaches would likely work on a volunteer basis.

The lacrosse sport is one that involves a significant amount of running, as players must get the ball into the opposing team’s goal.  Goals are set 100 yards (approximately 300 ft.), and are guarded by a goal tender.  Goal tenders are the only players that are allowed to handle the ball with their hands, as other players must utilise their Crosse.
