[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lacrosse was created by Indigenous Canadians and modernized by French Canadians . It’s the Canadian’s National summer sport. As French Canadian we played in fields as kids. Lacrosse was taught in public schools gym class and Lacrosse Leagues in the 1960’s in Massachusetts. The New England private schools started playing early on. I don’t think lacrosse has been considered “elite” in a long time. My brother played D1 in the 80s and trust me there’s nothing elite about him. [/quote] The problem is that it's been coopted by leagues who push/demand travel from the time kids are 7. Only a wealthy family can afford to put their kid in multiple "elite" travel leagues. Plenty of very good athletes never even try, because by the time they'd be trying out for a school team, the travel kids already have years of experience. [/quote]
