I wonder what was the first game played in USA?
The first American sport is is lacrosse. Lacrosse was first played by early Native Americans. The French watched the Native Americans play the game and taught it to settler's in Canada. The Canadians changed the games in a few days and started playing it with their own rules that they made up. Many people like to play lacrosse because because you don't have to strong to play. But you do need to be able top run fast, stop quickly, and twist and turn with the movement of the ball. Native Americans played lacrosse for a lot of reasons. In some tribes, disputes between two families could be resolved by sending them onto the field to play lacrosse. Some tribes believed that playing the game had magical powers. Many believed that playing the game could cure the sick and bring them back to health. Still others believed that playing lacrosse would help turn young boys into strong, healthy men.
