 * Lacrosse is a sport from centuries ago. The native american tribes played lacrosse years ago with wooden lacrosse sticks. This sport has evolved over the years in many ways.**
 * ‍‍Today lacrosse is a mere shadow of what it used to be. It may have ‍‍the same objective, is played with a stick, and so on. Today lacrosse is played with pads and a modern stick. Unlike when the native americans played there are now rules. Rules include cross checking, crease violation, goalie interference, slashing, offsides, and a few other penalties. Today there are three types of sticks. There is a goalie stick where the head or top of the stick is very wide and the shaft can be slightly longer than a regular stick. Next there is a long pole or defensive stick. This stick has a normal had on the shaft but the entire stick is six feet tall. The final and most used stick is the attack and middie stick. This stick is four feet tall with a normal head. The modern day lacrosse player has multiple pads. The lacrosse player has required equipment. Gloves and armpads are required as well as shoulder pads, a helmet, and a mouth guard. The only position that has different equipment rules is the goalie. A goalie only has to wear the gloves and a helmet of a normal player. The goalie has to have a goalie chest guard which covers the abdomen and the chest. As a goalie myself I use the STX Stinger chest guard. Goalies also have to wear a neck guard which can be tied on or a neck guard that can be screwed on to certain models, most more than one.**
 * There are two types of lacrosse, box lacrosse and field lacrosse. There are also a few leagues such as womens lacrosse, international lacrosse, college lacrosse, and MLL.**
