Sunday, October 18th will be a date that will remain in the history of lacrosse Italian. It 'program in fact the first game of the first day of the first Italian championship (sorry for the repetition but served to emphasize the importance of the event).
An appointment is to witness the growth of this sport that has finally come to have a national identity, although still limited (and there are 5 other teams are gearing up to enroll for next season).
In recent years there have been many steps forward early of this first season (the other Giuoco Lacrosse League, the Italian Federation aims to organize the Cup and Super Cup) is both an end point, considering the effort and commitment to growing the sport, but above all it must be a point of starting to give some continuity to the movement of clubs and activities of the Italian national team.
It was back in 2004 when Fabio Antonelli (current President of the Federation, as well as player of Roma Leones) led the game in Italy after having played for a year in the United States, and there he trained in Rome with few facilities and disorganization. Since then many things have changed: in 2005, was founded Roma Leones of the team (first team in Italy) and the Italian Federation was created, after which they were born other teams and the Italian national team began to participate in World and European, and finally in March 2008 was played the first official Italian Cup lacrosse (conquered by Rome).
The championship at the gates (in the first game will challenge Leones Perugia and Phoenix) will see four teams at the start: the Black Eagles of La Spezia, the Perugia Phoenix, the Roma Leones and a mixed selection made by the team in Turin and the Red Hawks of Merate, who will compete in a round of return (making a quick calculation are 6 games for each team: 3 home and 3 away).
this league rules provide for the award for the classification of 1 point for a win and 0 for a loss (the X is not provided and in case of a tie at the end of regulation time will play extra time, basketball style); has also been established that if two or more teams finish in the league on equal points for the award of the badge will be taken into account) the direct matches and the ranking divorced b) goal difference, c) the number of goals scored .
