[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an outstanding article. My daughter is a non white  player (hispanic) and also has faces these challenges. [/quote]

Hispanics are, among other demographics, a huge missed opportunity for growth in the sport.

WINNERS lacrosse in DC is trying very hard to make the sport approachable in the City. I'm unaware of any like organization in NoVA. Harlem Lacrosse and some other groups/teams in Baltimore are helping to spread the game to different demographics, and the rec/club options in Prince George's County and elsewhere are trying hard too.

In NoVA I see absolutely zero outreach to non-traditional communities. There's no effort to get the game introduced at the Elementary School level, and we're seeing the year over year decline of Rec lacrosse as the market is flooded with more franchise club team options. Even the club teams that have traditionally co-existed well with Rec programs are having to compete with them via younger and younger club teams. [/quote]
