[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will sound very un-p.c.

But to truthfully respond to your post, OP, it has been THE very hot sport at colleges in the NE/mid-Atlantic for some time, in part because suburban white kids have been shut out of college recruiting for sports like basketball and football.  The rest of the country is catching on and following suit.  It helps that it's a great sport.  But really, what's fueling the interest of these crazy lax parents you see screaming at the U-9 club games on weekends is the secret hope that lax will be the bump that gets their kid admitted to the likes of Princeton, Duke, Cornell, Hopkins, and all those other great schools with competitive lax programs.[/quote]

My son plays u9 for a VA club team.  I'm sure we "scream" at some of the games -- adrenaline, you know.  We don't look at is as having anything to do with college.  They are 9 after all.  That said, there are plenty of nutso parents who clearly think this is their path to a good college and they scream like crazy and act horribly.  Yes, Bethesda Lacrosse dads, I'm talking about you.[/quote]
