A sport originally created and played by Native Americans, but was revived in the 20th century by cities and teams on the east coast of the United States. It is played with metal or wood sticks of varying sizes, that have plastic "heads" attached to one end. These plastic "heads" are strung with a nylon mesh, or leather straps. These sticks are used to catch and pass a small rubber ball, a little smaller than a baseball. The objective is to pass or run the ball around the field, and score on the opposing teams square or somewhat rectangular goal. It can be played outdoors on a field larger than that of soccer, or indoors in an arena the size of a hockey rink. There is an outdoor and indoor professional league in the United States, and also a World Championship, with team from all over the world (but the U.S. always wins)
