eng	Lacrosse and its spread and transformation in various countries with an emphasis on continental Europe	The main aim of this paper is to present results of ethnographic research related to the ethnohistory of lacrosse (based on multi-sited ethnography) with an emphasis on various European countries mainly of so called Continental Europe (Czech Republic, Poland, Finland, Austria, Germany, Switzerland), Israel and Turkey. Media coverage of the game also played a crucial role in transformation of lacrosse with its spread around the world. Therefore, the subject of cultural exchanges, travels of the team Iroquois Nationals to the Worlds Championships and role of the popular culture will be discussed. To demonstrate these influences, I examine the trans-local networks and I will use glocalization concept as well.	lacrosse; continental Europe
