ORIGINALLY known as stickball, the sport of lacrosse was believed to have been started by the Native American Indians.

Today’s game is growing in popularity across the world from the eastern United States and Canada to as far afield as Australia and the United Kingdom.

The University of South Wales has both a men’s and women’s team. But how do you play it?
