Lacrosse Buying Guide

Lacrosse  was originally a Native American sport which may date back to as early as the 12th century.  Though it is the oldest North American team sport known, it was not brought to England until the late 1800s, when a group of Canadians visited the UK on a three month tour with the intent to introduce the game (for a more complete account of this history, see EnglishLacrosse.co.uk).  While lacrosse is still more popular in the US and Canada, it is beginning to flourish in Europe and also in East Asia, so isn't it time to get involved?  The searches and guides below wll help you get stocked up with all the necessary equipment, and the information in our External Links will get you caught up with the rest of the details.  Happy playing!
