What is Field Lacrosse?

Field Lacrosse is a fast-paced outdoor team sport played on a field approximately 110 yards long by 60 yards wide. Players use a lacrosse stick (crosse) and a solid rubber ball to pass, catch, carry, and shoot, with the objective of scoring goals while defending their own net.
