Lacrosse has its origins in a tribal game played by Plains Indians and Woodlands Indians in what is now the United States and Canada. In original Indian versions of the game, each team was made up of anywhere between 100 and 1,000 braves on a field that stretched from 500 yards to half a mile, or even sometimes several miles long. Rather than using modern goals wherein the ball has to pass through the goal posts, many of the Native American teams used a large rock or tree as their goal. They would hit the deerskin-formed ball against the goal to earn points. The length of these games varied, lasting from sunup to sundown or for several days. Traditionally, the games were played to settle altercations between tribes and to toughen braves in preparation for combat. ...more on Wikipedia about "History of Lacrosse"
