Sports are ingrained in the culture of the United States and around the entire world. Large numbers of people sit to watch different sports every day. My favorite sport to watch is Lacrosse. Lacrosse is not a well-known or watched sport, but it is growing in popularity. Lacrosse is high-tempo, rough, and just flat out fun sport to watch.
Lacrosse is sometimes explained as like hockey and soccer combined. This is sort of true, but at the same time so far from the truth. Lacrosse is played on a field and has the same positions as soccer, but played with sticks like hockey. The sticks that are used have baskets on the end to hold the ball in so you can run with it in your stick. Lacrosse also has many rules which make it complicated to understand, but once you do it is the best game to watch. The games can get very high scoring with final scores in the double digits. Some shots can get up to over one-hundred miles an hour. Lacrosse can also get very physical. The rules in the game are very loose fitting so that you can hit someone with your stick pretty much as much or where ever you want. I did not start to watch Lacrosse until my junior year of high school. I started to watch because my best friend was the captain of the team and talked me into coming to one of the games. Since that game I have been hooked. I went to almost all of his games in high school and now that he plays in college I will start going to them too.
Lacrosse is one of the most complex games there is, but is still so simply to understand. With so much action going on at one time I don’t know how it has not gotten more popular. Soon the sport will get noticed and spread across the United States. The sport is so unique there is no sport quite like it to be a substitute. I highly recommend you watch a game.

I thought you did a great explaining lacrosse. I don't understand why Lacrosse hasn't became more popular. It wont be long till it will be all over TV. I've always had interest in Lacrosse because it is similar to hockey.
ReplyDeleteNice blog. I like how you chose a sport that isn't very popular. I like lacrosse too and I watch it all the time on some weird sports channel from the UK I get at home. I think you should blog about the rules and how to play rugby next because I watch it all the time and I can't catch on to save my life.
ReplyDeleteNice blog. I like how you chose a sport to blog about that isn't very popular too everyone. I watch lacrosse on a weird channel for sporting events in the UK that I somehow get at my house. I think you should blog about the rules and regulations of rugby next because I watch it all the time and still do not have a clear idea of whats going on.
ReplyDeleteI posted twice because it said I didn't post my response because technology is STUPID.
ReplyDeleteLacrosse always seemed real fun. I wish clio would of had a lacrosse team. That would hurt to get hit by one of those balls. I think it should be more popular it's exciting to watch.
ReplyDeleteLacrosse does seem interesting to play! I've always wanted to learn it someday. I like your post about the sport. It is a unique sport to write about. It would be fun to play lacrosse and watch it. It does seem like a complex sport, there must be a lot of rules. Good job Emily!
