[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far I know, there is still enough in the area school pipelines for JV and Varsity teams.  My recent exposure to that pipeline is a few years old but even then the feeder system from travel teams and little leagues was feeling the competition from lacrosse.  The game and the skills aren't easy to pick up on the fly so I think for baseball that feeder system is really important.  Despite it's reputation among the masses, to play baseball well you have to be a good athlete.  It's a lot easier to pick up a lacrosse stick and hide in a running crowd as a beginner,  We have the Nats though to inspire the little kids!  [/quote]

All good points.  I played lacrosse myself but love baseball as a fan and would be very sad to see it die out.  There are kids for whom baseball is a great fit athletically for whom lacrosse is not, and vice versa.  It's also good to get those early throwing and catching and hitting skills to make the splash in rec league softball.  :)  I hope both sports will thrive.[/quote]

My DC goes to a school where lacrosse is very big, but the middle school had many more boys going out for baseball than lacrosse last year.  I have my theories about why that was true, but it was fascinating, and it will be interesting to see if it was just an anomaly or whether it will carry through to the upper school.[/quote]
