[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting, I don't think of lacrosse as a rich people sport, but I'm from upstate NY where every public high school has a team.

Same. From a middle to lower middle class area of Pennsylvania where all the public schools have lacrosse teams. Learned how to play as a 10th grader, played varsity by senior year and even was able to play on my college team.

No one saw it as a rich kid sport.

Lucky you.  Close to major metropolitan areas, the lax clubs have tried to figure out to suck the maximum amount of dollars out of lax family wallets.  In those areas, it's generally played by students with plenty of disposable income.[/quote]

I'm not even close to DCUM rich and club lax is easily affordable for me. Most of the other parents struck me as regular folks, too.[/quote]

Same. However, the sport does still have that reputation. Poor kids tend to do sports that don't require a lot of equipment (basketball or soccer).[/quote]

Lacrosse doesn’t really require a lot of equipment. Just a stick, which can be issued by the public school if you don’t have your own.
