Get Involved: Lacrosse

As part of the 'Get Involved' series, Sky Sports News battled it out with the game of Lacrosse!

The Native American Cherokees called it the little brother of war and it was considered as excellent military training and while it may no longer be seen as preparation for the battlefield, it is not a game for the fainthearted.

Lacrosse is growing in popularity, especially amongst students. According to British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) figures, there has been a 90 per cent rise in the number of people playing across a since 2009.
