Tight spaces. Fast pace. Quick decision making. These are just a few of the attributes that                                                                                          describe Box Lacrosse, also known as Indoor Lacrosse. Played inside the confines of a                                                                                               multi-sport rink, box lacrosse has a distinct set of rules, apart from the field game. The                                                                                    playing surface is enclosed by boards, usually made of wood or plastic, and each team                                                                                                 has six players on the floor - five runners and one goaltender. Players rotate on and off the                                                                                        floor in shifts to play offense by trying to put the ball in their opponents' goal and play                                                                                                defense by preventing their opponents from scoring on their goal.   For more information on                                                                                the game of box lacrosse or to read the rules of box lacrosse, visit: Box Rules | USA Lacrosse
