Page 4 - getting Lacrosse across

My findings from (Lacrosse Scoop, 2015) further indicate that the sport had mass
adoption in the next decades all over Europe and the America’s, but also faced its
fair share of adversity when the sport was banned in some areas in 1900’s. This was
a particularly difficult time in the history of the sport as it faced being dropped as an
Olympic sport twice to a alack of Governing Body for its discipline and lack of
consistency in playing equipment. The late 1900’s to early 2000’s made great strides
for the sport as the first Professional lacrosse league “The Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse”
was formed & a host of governing bodies have been developed since.

The sport has been growing and women have also been included in that growth,
Main pro leagues are “Premier Lacrosse League”, “Major League Lacrosse”, and
“National Lacrosse League” for men. As well as two women’s pro leagues the United
Women’s Lacrosse League and Women’s Professional Lacrosse League. The sport
gains regulations by the Federation of International Lacrosse. The changing and
modification of designs to the playing racket proved to be main obstacle, but once
they figured out the mechanics the sport saw mass adoption.
