Lacrosse: Ukrainian sport from American films
Screenshot from video
Lacrosse is a very old sport. Its history dates back to the time of the existence of tribes in North America, but it has gained true popularity literally in the last 20 years.
Lacrosse came to Ukraine in 2011, and 6 years later, adherents of this sport created the Ukrainian Lacrosse Federation.
“Back in 2011, I saw a video of some strange game on the Internet, and it was love at first sight. My heart just exploded, I couldn’t even sleep for several nights. I started looking for what it is, who plays lacrosse in Ukraine, and I couldn’t find anyone, ”comments the President of the Ukrainian Lacrosse Federation Vladimir Demedyuk .
Today in Ukraine there are already 3 adult teams : Rivne “ Iroquois ”, Vinnitsa “ Wolves ” and Kyiv “ Kings ”. There are also several children’s teams, but there are no women’s teams yet.
Despite its active development, lacrosse is a completely new sport in Ukraine, so few people know about it.
One of the heroes of our program, a player of the national lacrosse team, Andriy Datsko, recalls how he learned about this sport: “I studied at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, walked around the university, and saw a poster on some stand. As I remember now, there was a man in uniform, a collar and a stick, and it was written: “Come to play.” I decided to look on the Internet, I found a video, I remember it was called “Welcome to the Show”. There was such a tough, driving, funny video with American players. I looked and realized that I want to try it, I want to go there. Well, that’s when it started. That was 4 years ago.”
Lacrosse is a very dynamic and really powerful sport. To achieve success in it, you need to train hard and carefully work out different tactics, throws and catches.
Lacrosse
“There are several types of lacrosse. There are field lacrosse when 10 to 10 people play on a large football field. There is also Women’s Lacrosse . It is also played on a large football field, but girls play 12 by 12. Unlike men, girls do not have such equipment, different helmets, gloves, because they cannot play “in contact”. The third type of lacrosse is baxlacross . This, if someone has seen hockey, is very similar. It is played in the same hockey box, it is very strong, it needs a lot of equipment. And now, just recently, another type of lacrosse has appeared. It is called 6 by 6, that is, half the field. It is easy to start playing it, because it does not need many players,” Vladimir Demedyuk shared .
Now Ukrainian lacrosse is developing very dynamically, and the Federation invites everyone to join the training.
How to start lacrosse training – see the new episode of the program “ Coeval ” on UATV .
Let me introduce myself: lacrosse! – Gornovosti.Ru
Interest in previously little-known sports games often leads to the fact that a new sport in a fairly short time suddenly becomes widespread, mass, even Olympic. Today, for example, no one needs to explain to anyone what curling or field hockey are, although a few decades ago this would have required flipping through encyclopedias and gleaning information from sports literature. The sport that we will try to talk about today is probably also known to a few. Well, the more interesting it will probably be to get to know him better. Get acquainted – and, perhaps, make your choice.
A game for real Indians
Lacrosse (“la crosse”) – literally translated from French means “stick”. They say that this game was invented by the American Indians – ball competitions were used for the physical training of warriors. And also – for the bloodless, sports-peaceful resolution of conflicts that arose between the tribes. Archaeological finds suggest that lacrosse originated in the first half of the 15th century in what is now Canada. The first European settlers got acquainted with it in the 17th century, and in the 19th century, the beloved sports fun spread quite widely among the inhabitants of the French colony of Canada, who dubbed it in the French way. The first official game of lacrosse took place in 1867, so this sport, due to its historical roots, is quite capable of competing with football. By the way, another interesting fact, also related to the preservation of the historical roots of this ancient game. In addition to the national lacrosse association in America, today there is a team in which representatives of the Iroquois and other Indian tribes play.
RULES
Lacrosse is a contact sport between two teams. The goal is to hit the ball into the opponent’s goal using a stick called a stick.
There are four player positions in lacrosse: linebackers, forwards, defensemen and goaltender. Midfielders can be in any part of the field and play both in defense and in attack. The task of the defense is to prevent a goal being scored and receive the ball using a stick stick, using contact wrestling or a correctly chosen position on the field. The goalkeeper is the last line of defense.
The game is divided into several types, depending on the venue of the competition.
Grass lacrosse is a classic game played by two teams of ten.
Mini lacrosse (box lacrosse) is an indoor game played in teams of six.
Depending on the composition of the teams, there are:
– men’s lacrosse. Four periods of 15 minutes each. The playing field measures 100 x 55 meters with goals 1.8 meters wide. The gates are located at a distance of 72 meters from each other;
Women’s lacrosse. The game consists of two periods of 25 minutes each. The dimensions of the field and the width of the goals are usually the same as in the men’s version of the game, but the distance between the goals is already 92 meters.
EQUIPMENT
Rubber ball. The main game projectile in lacrosse. Its dimensions are 62.8-64.77 mm, weight – 140-146 grams.
Stick is a stick of a special design, which is a symbiosis of racket and net. Players use three types of sticks, differing in the length of the handle. Midfielders and attackers are armed with short sticks, defenders with long sticks. The goalkeeper’s tool is a stick with a larger net-net.
Safety helmet. Mandatory attribute of the player, reliably protecting the head and face from injuries.
Leggings. Designed to protect hands from impact.
Elbow and knee pads. Means that protect the player during contact wrestling, falls. To protect against possible injury, players are also allowed to use additional, usually hockey body protection.
REPEAT ROAD TO OLYMPUS
In its long history, this game has managed to climb Olympus. Olympic medals in lacrosse, however, were played only twice, at 1904 and 1908. Both gold sets went then, of course, to the Canadians. Later, lacrosse was deleted from the Olympic program, although it appeared on the Olympic fields three more times, but already as demonstration performances. The annual lacrosse world championships, which have been held for almost thirty years, give hope that the game’s ascent to Olympus may well be repeated.
Today there are more than three dozen national lacrosse federations in the world. Most of them are located in Europe and were created in the last decade of the 20th century, but the United States and Eastern Canada remain the leading countries, where lacrosse is very popular. In Canada, for example, it has already managed to become national – the main summer sport. Lacrosse is well known to the British and Australians. Associations for this sport have been established in Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand. Lacrosse was appreciated in China and India. In Russia, it has not yet been recognized as an official sport, but the creation of a lacrosse federation, the Russian initiators and enthusiasts of its promotion assure, is a prospect for the very near future.
In Russia at the moment there are only two full-fledged teams, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, playing among themselves the “Capital Cup” in lacrosse. In Moscow, a student team appeared, created on the basis of the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia. They complete the team in Yaroslavl. Let’s hope that this list will soon be replenished with another one, formed by enthusiasts here, in Krasnoyarsk. The guys spend their training sessions on weekends in Tatyshev Park, inviting everyone to join these classes.
COMMENT
Andrey ISTOMIN , captain of the emerging Krasnoyarsk lacrosse team:
— It is impossible not to fall in love with lacrosse if only because it is the most dynamic, fastest team game.
