[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Lacrosse enjoyed impressive growth last decade, but it’s membership rolls are shrinking rapidly. Club lax is too expensive for most families and there just isn’t enough scholarship money available to interest lower and middle class families. Not good for the future of sport[/quote]

Hard to reconcile "club lax is too expensive" with the ideas above that "there are too many club lax teams and it's killing rec lax". Not to mention, in this area we have some of the richest counties in the nation - lots of people with money for club lax.

Lacrosse has indeed grown since 2010, but what's the evidence it's "shrinking rapidly"?[/quote]

Can’t speak to anything other than NVYLL, but boys and girls numbers in NVYLL plummeting over last 5 years. Great sport. Club growth fueled by wealthy population in Metro DC, but fewer kids playing rec now because playing just rec will not translate to any opportunities. Not a recipe for the sport’s growth. Without sustained growth of rec leagues, lax returns to its origins as the sport of choice for the 1%.[/quote]
