The fact is that this game is only on the rise.
The most predominant hurdle to the growth of the game for the last few centuries is purely ignorance. The white man proved themselves ignorant to the Native Americans, their cultures, & customs In all aspects-including sport.

The NE US & Canada embraced the game in all its glory & has cultivated the best athletes the world has ever seen. Jim Brown, Gary Gait, Casey Powell, Paul Rabil are just the tip of the iceberg. For the last 20 years the game has spread further South & West. The State of Florida recognizes it as a varsity sports for both boys & girls high school play & they are experiencing a DECREASE in varsity fooball participation.

NCAA collegiate rosters are beginning to fill with players from Texas, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, California, & even Louisiana. Club teams are forming or strengthening at a pace never seen before at colleges.

With more football coaches recognizing the game as the prime Spring sport to continue to develop their athletes, they too are embracing lacrosse.

More players can see more playing time, consistently, than soccer or basketball or baseball. Which attributes to it's pace of growth as young athletes are lookong for every angle they can to play on a team & more importantly find a place for them in the college level. Lacrosse ranks as 1 of the highest team sports in GPA & graduation rate. With more NCAA teams each year the opportunitis for those players keeps becoming a reality.

Fielding lacrosse at the NCAA level isn't about making a profit. It's about fielding student-athletes who become alumni. Alumni with statistically higher paying jobs resulting in yielding larger donation dollars.

Get on board. Or keep being ignorant. Either way, the game will be everywhere before you know it.
