[quote=Anonymous]In a different metro, the really insidious thing about Lacrosse was that public schools did not have teams, only 3 privates. And the coaches at each of those schools organized a local “travel team” for competitive Lacrosse — as a private business. Would-be players had to pay to be on that team. The same coaches also had separate Lacrosse teams at elementary school age and at middle school age. If a kid did not start playing by 2nd grade, it would be hard to catch up with the students who started earlier. The outside school cost structure also meant that only wealthy families could afford it. The kicker was that those 3 privates pretty regularly could get 3-5 “extra” kids into an Ivy in a given year by using a Lacrosse player hook. It also was a hook for UVa, W&L, and some other east coast colleges. Some Ivys might be more serious about Lax than about Baseball. [/quote]
