Lacrosse
Lacrosse is an outdoor goal-scoring sport played between two teams of ten players, each with sticks called crosses. A crosse has a long handle and a triangular head with a mesh pouch for catching, carrying, and throwing a hard rubber ball. The object of the game is to sling the ball into an opponent's goal to score points.
If you want to try Lacrosse for the first time or revisit the opportunities that the sport has to offer in Cheshire, be it for fun, socially or competition then you will be sure to find an opportunity local to you.

Sport Factsheets
In June 2008, Sport England published detailed sport evidence packs, which bring together data from the first year of the Active People Survey, (APS 1) the Taking Part Survey, and Sport England's market segmentation.
These packs were prepared to help sport's national governing bodies develop their 2009-2013 plans but they also provide a detailed overview of sports facts relevant to all in the sports sector. Click here to view
Following the detailed sport evidence packs, further sport specific information has been compiled in a series of sport factsheets. The factsheets provide information on weekly participation rates by key demographic groups.
