===Intercrosse=== {{main|Intercrosse}} Intercrosse, or soft stick lacrosse, is a non-contact form of lacrosse with a standardized set of rules using modified lacrosse equipment. An intercrosse stick is different from a normal lacrosse stick, the head is made completely of plastic instead of leather or nylon pockets in traditional lacrosse sticks. The ball is larger, softer and hollow, unlike a lacrosse ball, which is solid rubber.<ref>{{cite web|title=Competitions|url=http://inter-crosse.com/competitions/|publisher=FIIC|access-date=November 12, 2017|archive-date=November 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171112185231/http://inter-crosse.com/competitions/|url-status=live}}</ref> Intercrosse as a competitive adult sport is popular in Quebec, Canada, as well as in many European countries, particularly in the Czech Republic.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.captain-lax.com/lacrosse-blog/2016/03/intercrosse-what-has-that-got-to-do-with-lacrosse/|title=Intercrosse – What has that got to do with lacrosse?|publisher=Captain Lax|access-date=August 14, 2019|archive-date=August 14, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814145623/http://www.captain-lax.com/lacrosse-blog/2016/03/intercrosse-what-has-that-got-to-do-with-lacrosse/|url-status=live}}</ref> Generally, teams consist of five players per side, and the field size is {{cvt|20|m|ft}} wide and {{cvt|40|m|ft}} long.
