"...lax would be the fastest growing sport in the country. Maybe it is already, I don't know."

My full-time job is youth sports dealing with over 20,000 kids a year. I agree, if lacrosse isn't the fastest growing sport, it's close. We had about 100 kids play our first season 3 years ago. We are expecting close to 400 kids playing this Spring. My personal opinion is that here in Texas, lacrosse is currently at approximately the same position and level of popularity that soccer was 20-25 years ago. Soccer is now the biggest youth sport in town, if not the country. Hopefully, lacrosse will be that big very soon.
