[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's lax team has the highest  average GPA of all the D1 athletes at their university. They also do community service year round as do many of the other teams.[/quote]

This is the problem.. It's like maintenance alcoholics in the making. It is not okay to drink excessively, treat women like they are disposable, and be an entitled a$$hole ... Then say but I get good grade and volunteer so it is okay.[/quote]

This is true!! The culture is toxic. They love to trash talk women. Treating others like crap is  their sport because lacrosse is just weird.[/quote]

Lacrosse was a prep school sport when I grew up in 70s ,  when did it become popular around here?  Our kids did not get into lacrosse, DD played for a year but never really got into the game.   It was looked down as a rich kids sport when I was a kid, no one, and I mean no one played lacrosse in central PA in 70s and 80s except for kids that went to prep schools.[/quote]

Lacrosse was a yearly "unit" in my MCPS school PE classes starting in 1st grade, back in the late 90s/early aughts, given the same weight as soccer, basketball, gymnastics, etc. But my PE teacher definitely had lax bro vibes, so maybe that was just my school. That said, it was also taught in middle school PE, and iirc kids were playing on club teams by middle school, still the aughts. I get the impression that it was big in Maryland before it became more popular nationally. [/quote]
