- The field chosen to play lacrosse needs to be a rectangular area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The field area should be 110 yards in length and 60 yards wide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Within this periphery, the goals are placed at either side, parting with six feet spaced each other. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Each goal is marked with a large round crease line of about 18-20 feet in diameter making a circular mark on the ground. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Equipment Requirements and Regulations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Lacrosse is a quick-paced on-field sport that is incomplete without the necessary equipment. To play a game of lactose, players need helmets, shoulder pads, gloves, a lacrosse stick (head and shaft) to score a goal, and of course a lacrosse ball. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
