Point
@Mothership4two until about 25 years ago, Lacrosse was mostly played in posh Ivy League colleges and Universities, but leagues have developed all over the nation for all ages and economic groups. Both my sons, who attended a regular ole school, started at age 11 and loved it. Especially because they got to run around with sticks and hit people without getting in trouble 
It is a fun, fast paced sport to watch. Originally played by the Iroquois Native American tribe.
