Lacrosse, often called "the fastest sport on two feet," is also one of the oldest games on the North American continent. It originated as a Native American game that was once used as a training aid for warriors. Since its introduction to white settlers, lacrosse has continued to gain popularity as a sport. As the sport grew, standard rules and guidelines were established, and professional organizations sprang up all over the United States and Canada.
