Canada.  \n\nA Short History of Lacrosse in Canada\nLacrosse, which the Native People of North America knew under many different names such as Baggataway or Tewaarathon, played a significant role in the community and religious life of tribes across the continent for untold years.  Its origin lost in the antiquity of myth, Lacrosse remains a notable contribution of the Native culture to modern Canadian society. Native Lacrosse was characterized by a deeply spiritual involvement, and those who took part did so with dedicated spirit and with the highest ideals of bringing glory to themselves and their tribes, and honour to the participants and the tribes to which they belonged. \n\nIn the 1840s the first games of Lacrosse were played between the townsfolk and the Native People. Though it was many years before any significant wins were logged against the Natives, the game of Lacrosse was quickly winning the loyalty and interest of the newest North Americans.  Lacrosse was named Canada's National Game by Parliament in 1859. In 1867 the Montreal Lacrosse Club, headed by Dr. George Beers, organized a conference in Kingston in order to create a national body whose purpose would be to govern the sport throughout the newly formed country. The National Lacrosse Association became the first national sport governing body in North America dedicated to the governance of a sport, the standardization of rules and competition, and the running of national championships to promote good fellowship and unity across the country. The unforgettable motto of the organization was:\n\n"OUR COUNTRY - OUR GAME"

Lacrosse is a fast-paced team sport played by two teams of ten players for men or twelve players for women each who use netted sticks (called the cross) in order to pass and catch a rubber ball with the aim of scoring goals by propelling the ball into the opponent's goal. Popular mostly in North America, lacrosse is the continent's oldest sport and the fastest growing sport at all levels – youth, high school, college, and professional. Lacrosse is especially popular in the northeastern part of the US and is Canada's national summer sport. It is expanding westward, with burgeoning lacrosse communities in Colorado, California, Florida and Texas.

LACROSSE ROCKS! Been to many professional lacrosse games and they kick butt. Too bad yahoo doesnt care. Might be because there are SO many lacrosse leagues. In the hockey forum, you mainly get the NHL. In lacrosse, there are many lacrosse leagues to talk about which to yahoo might not be a good idea. (MLL Major League Lacross and NLL National Lacross League to name two.)\n\nMaybe we should gather up yahoo employees, stick them in a lacrosse arena and then see what happens. Muahaha ;)

cricket wasnt discovered,its a sport u cant invent sports.cricket was invented in England.\nA basic form of the sport can be traced back to the 13th century, but it may have existed even earlier than that. The game seems to have originated among shepherds and farm workers in the Weald between Kent and Sussex. Written evidence exists of a sport known as creag being played by Prince Edward, the son of Edward I (Longshanks), at Newenden, Kent in 1300.\n\nIn 1598, a court case referred to a sport called Creckett being played at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford around 1550. The Oxford English Dictionary gives this as the first recorded instance of cricket in the English language.

-basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith.\n\n-He invented it for the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891.  he needed to come up with a game that could be played indoors (winter months), that wasn't too violent (like rugby or football), and had a system of scoring that awarded skill over force (a horizontal goal instead of a vertical goal like soccer).\n\n-he origianlly made 13 rules, and then modified them as his students worked out the mechanics of the game.\n\n-the baskets were origianlly peach barrels nailed to the wooden railing that was 10ft above the gym floor (that's why today's nets are the same height)\n\n-shooting at the basket was based on the game "duck on rock", where the player tried to arc a stone and know another stone off a pedastal.  the better players arced their shots, so if they missed they wouldn't have to run as fall to get their stones back\n\nThat good enough?
