The first Keeper of the Crown Jewels was appointed in 1207 and the title has varied over the centuries. Over time, the Keeper of the Jewel House became more of a ceremonial position and had less and less to do with the day-to-day functions of Jewel House.
Womenâs lacrosse is played with a team of 12 players, including the goalkeeper during usual play. The ball used is typically yellow, unless both teams agree to use a different coloured ball. The duration of the game is 60 minutes, with two halves.
Lacrosse is a contact team sport played between two teams using a small rubber ball (62.8â64.77 mm (2.472â2.550 in), 140â147 g (4.9â5.2 oz)) and a long-handled stick called a crosse or lacrosse stick. The men's version is considered as a rough sport, with slashes and intense checks to the stick and body. The head of the lacrosse stick is strung with loose mesh designed to catch and hold the lacrosse ball. There are many different ways to put mesh on the head of the stick, also known as stringing the stick.. Offensively, the objective of the game is to score by shooting the ball into an opponent's goal past the goalie, using the lacrosse stick to catch, cradle, and pass the ball to do so.
