Indoor or Box Lacrosse is played inside the confines of a multi-sport rink. Each team has six total players on the floor to start a game with five runners and one goaltender. Players rotate on and off the floor in shifts to play offense by trying to put the ball in their opponents' goal and play defense by preventing their opponents from scoring on their goal.

Lacrosse Athlete Development Model
The lacrosse athlete development model (LADM) is a framework using the six core values which bring out the full athletic potential in every player. When these values are embraced, players learn the sport better, love it more, and play it longer. The LADM keeps more players engaged in the sport longer and allows the best player to emerge as they reach physical maturity.
