Sports in The Corp

[mac34]

My dad played football in the Marines back in the early 80's. My recruiter has told me they still have a lot of different team sports, including a Marine lacrosse team. Has anyone any info on the lacrosse team.

Thanks,
Ben

Is that the game they play with little sticks that have tiny nets on the end? Those same sticks could double as butterfly nets.i

Thanks, quick search did not show lacrosse. My dad just said it would probably be camp teams in the FLEET, not an official USMC team. He played football for his Infantry Training School (ITS) at (San Onifray?) in Camp Pendleton. What club sports teams have you Marines seen in the FLEET resonantly.

Thanks,
Ben

Brief History
With a history that spans centuries, lacrosse is the oldest sport in North America. Rooted in Native American religion, lacrosse was often played to resolve conflicts, heal the sick, and develop strong, virile men. To Native Americans, lacrosse is still referred to as "The Creator's Game."

Ironically, lacrosse also served as a preparation for war. Legend tells of as many as 1,000 players per side, from the same or different tribes, who took turns engaging in a violent contest. Contestants played on a field from one to 15 miles in length, and games sometimes lasted for days. Some tribes used a single pole, tree or rock for a goal, while other tribes had two goalposts through which the ball had to pass. Balls were made out of wood, deerskin, baked clay or stone.

Don't mean to be a smart a$$, but how does lacrosse have anything to do with boot camp or info on ones MOS?
