The Indians called it “Baggataway”, meaning “Little Brother
of War”, and used it to toughen warriors for actual combat. A single game could
last over several days and be played on a field several miles long with up to a thousand braves on each side. Dating back to the 1400’s, lacrosse is the oldest team sport in North America. Much more than training or a game, it was the intention of the Native Americans that
lacrosse be used to celebrate and honor life. These qualities were in evidence
by the players, coaches, parents, and supporters that make up The North Stafford Lacrosse Story.
