What does FIIC mean in FEDERATION

Inter Crosse is a fast-paced and highly competitive team sport based on lacrosse that involves two teams of six players each. It combines elements from both traditional field lacrosse and box lacrosse where players use sticks to pass, catch, cradle and shoot the ball in a goal.

The Fédération Internationale d'Inter Crosse (FIIC) was founded in 1985 with a mandate to promote, develop and organize inter crosse tournaments at all levels of play.

Like most sports, Inter Crosse has its own set of rules governing everything from equipment requirements to game play. These include having six players per team on the field during any given game, using only approved sticks and balls, having no direct contact between players while playing, introducing certain timekeeping rules during matches such as halftime periods or game stoppages after goals have been scored, and awarding points depending on which goals are scored during the game.

Some of the major tournaments organized by the FIIC include The World Cup Sports Tournament in 2011 held in Canada and The Global Inter Crosse Invitational in 2014 held in France. These tournaments bring together some of the best inter crosse teams from around the world for an intense competition that showcases great skill, strategy and sportsmanship.

Anyone interested in getting involved with inter crosse can find clubs or leagues near them through searching online or asking local sports centers or recreation departments for information about local teams or programs. Additionally, there are many online resources available to learn more about playing inter crosse such as instructional videos demonstrating stick techniques, drills for skills development and team tactics courses.
