** Lacrosse or Field Hockey? **‍


 * Have you ever wondered what sport is better, lacrosse or field hockey? Both can be played by boys and girls, both very similar. People who play one of these sports usually plays the other one too. Personally, I think field hockey is better, but not everyone agrees with that. **


 * First, my favorite sport, field hockey. Field hockey is played by using a stick and ball on the ground. **** In field hockey, you hit it with your stick. Field hockey goals are really big. You are allowed inside the goal for field hockey. There is much more protection in field hockey. For field hockey, you have to wear shinguards and goggles and for the goalie, that and a full padded body suit, including a helmet. In lacrosse it's just goggles and for the goalie, padded gloves. Field hockey is a lot different than lacrosse, but that doesn't mean it's worse or better. **


 *  Lacrosse is very different than field hockey, but that doesn't mean it is better or worse. You use a net in lacrosse, in field hockey you use a stick. Instead of hitting the ball in lacrosse, you throw it out of your stick. Lacrosse requires a lot less protection. You only have goggles and if you are the goalie, gloves too and there is a less chance of you getting hit in the shin. The size of the goals are very different.That happens because in lacrosse you are not allowed in the goals, so they are very small. In field hockey, you are allowed in the goals. Lacrosse is a very cool sport, but not for everyone. **


 *  Even though the two sports are very alike, it is up to you which one is better. I know that most people like lacrosse and field hockey, but that isn't for all people. Most people who try lacrosse or field hockey try the other one too. Hopefully, you can make a decision between the two now that you know the major differences if you were thinking of trying one or the other. **
