It has the speed, agility, flexibilty, coordination and main aspect of scoring on a net from hockey, the offensive set up (2-2-1) "house" when attacking the other team's goal, a shot clock of 30 seconds to shoot on the net, and regular setting of "picks" similar to basketball. Box lacrosse defenders are allowed to block attackers from getting near their goal by cross checking, a technique that is not allowed in field lacrosse.
