Lacrosse and Rugby T-Shirts and Gifts

Lacrosse is a sport played using a stick with a net on the end called a crosse which players use to carry a ball and try to toss it into a goal. It can be played outdoors or indoors. Outdoors it is played on a field of grass or artificial turf (such as FieldTurf).

In men's lacrosse, players wear protective equipment on their heads, shoulders, arms, and hands, as body-checking is an integral part of the game, and stick checks to the stick are legal. Each team is composed of 10 players on the field at a time: three attackmen, three midfielders, three defenders and one goaltender. Women's lacrosse is played in a similar manner except with two additional midfielders per team. Players of women's lacrosse (in the United States only) need only wear protective eyewear and mouth guards (except for the goaltender, who wears additional padding, usually consisting of a throat protector attached to the helmet, and chest pad, most goalies do not wear arm pads or shin pads), as contact is not permitted... read more about lacrosse on wikipedia

Rugby football, often just "rugby", may refer to a number of sports descended from a common form of football developed at Rugby School in England, United Kingdom. Rugby union, rugby league, American football and Canadian football are modern sports that originated from rugby football. Rugby league and rugby union are the only two sports referred to as "rugby" today.

The legendary story about the origin of Rugby football—whereby a young man named William Webb Ellis "took the ball in his arms [i.e. caught it] and ran", showing "a fine disregard", while playing Rugby School's already distinctive version of football (not to be confused with association football, which was codified much later) in 1823—has evidence to support it. Pundits have credited the story as likely since it was first given the School's seal of approval following an official investigation by the Old Rugbian Society in 1895. The story has entered into legend, and the trophy for the Rugby Union World Cup bears the name of "Webb Ellis" in his honour and a plaque at the School commemorates the "achievement". Various kinds of football have a long tradition in England, and football games had probably taken place at Rugby School for 200 years before three boys published the first set of written rules (in 1845). At the time, a set of rules would be agreed between two teams before a match.... read more about rugby on wikipedia
