How do you deal with parents not letting you play lacrosse?

[Anonymous]

My parents said lacrosse was a dangerous sport and never allowed me to play it. It sucks because it does look like a fun sport, but I never got the opportunity

You play one of the other fun sports out there?

Take them to a game. It will show your determination and maturity. Find a high level public/private HS game or a college game and buy tickets.

This.

Ask them why they think it is dangerous? Provide evidence to the contrary.

Probably should just bubble wrap all of our kids just to be safe. Walking out the door is unsafe.

4 concussions per 10,000 athletic exposures seems like a manageable risk. Unless you are swimming or playing golf or running cross country there is always some risk.

Soccer is way more physical and dangerous than lacrosse, boys or girls.
Lacrosse is for wealthy kids who couldn’t handle football. Let’s be honest.

You should do the research and come up with a powerpoint presentation to argue your case with safety statistics, risk mitigation, etc. Maybe you can interview your pediatrician or a lacrosse coach and get more data to bolster your argument.
