Lacrosse is a team sport that is played with ten players (men's field), six players (men's box), or 12 players (women's field), each of whom uses a netted stick (the cross) in order to pass and catch a hard rubber ball with the aim of scoring goals by propelling the ball into the opponent's goal. The team scoring the most points after two halves, of varying length from competition to competition, and overtime if necessary, wins.

Benjamin Bloom (February 21, 1913 - September 13, 1999) was an American educational psychologist who made significant contributions to the classification of educational objectives and the theory of mastery learning. His research showed that educational settings and home environments can foster human potential. Bloom developed a "taxonomy of educational objectives" which classified the different learning objectives and skills that educators set for students, divided into three "domains:" Affective, Psychomotor, and Cognitive. This taxonomy is hierarchical, meaning that learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels. Bloom intended that the Taxonomy motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education.
