The First Stick
Lacrosse is one of the oldest team sports in history. The first lacrosse sticks were used by the Native Americans in a game played between two tribes over a stretch of several miles.
The first lacrosse sticks were basically giant wooden spoons, with no netting. A more advanced type had one end bent into a 4 to 5-inch. diameter circle, filled with netting. This netting was made of deer sinew.

Some were evolved and bent into a U shape. These sticks were bent after being softened through steaming, and lengths typically ranged from 2 to 5 feet.

The Europeans also added more intricate stringing into the new lacrosse head.
