LACROSSE
Lacrosse, considered to be America's
first sport, was born of the North American Indian,
christened by the French, and adopted and raised by the
Canadians. Although most folks think of Hockey, Lacrosse
remains the national sport of Canada. Modern lacrosse
has been embraced by athletes and enthusiasts of the
United States and the British Commonwealth for over a
century.
The sport of lacrosse is a combination
of basketball, soccer and hockey. Anyone can play
lacrosse--big or small. Although lacrosse is a contact
sport, the game requires and rewards coordination and
agility, not brawn. Quickness and speed are two highly
prized qualities in lacrosse. Lacrosse is fast-paced and
action packed. Lacrosse is played with a stick, or
"the crosse", which must be mastered by the
player to throw, catch and scoop the ball.
EQUIPMENT
Equipment is the responsibility of
each individual. Each male player is required to
purchase; stick, shoulder pads, gloves, arm pads,
mouthpieces and a helmet. Each female player is required
to purchase; stick, goggles and mouthpieces.
Team jerseys and shorts for both boys
and girls are paid for by the Dayton Lacrosse Club
registration fees. DLC jerseys have been of such
good quality that the boys are able to wear them for 2
-3 years. If you are a player who has been given a
set of jersey's already, be aware that if you need new
one's you will need to purchase them though DLC.
DLC will provide the first set of jerseys and shorts -
all additional pieces will be at the players costs.
