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.
The smaller field size means that teams only have six players (five runners and one goalie) on the field at a time. No players may use a stick longer than 42 inches. The goals in the indoor game are much smaller than the field lacrosse goals, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet, 9 inches wide.
