Jumping ahead seems to be the standard nowadays. Even before you hand out your halloween candy, you're seeing holiday ads and starbucks is spreading cheer (and leaking coffee) out of festive cups! Let's get in the spirit and talk about spring lacrosse!
But first, have you noticed that lacrosse has seen a surge in popularity among young athletes in recent years? According to a report from US Lacrosse, the national governing body for the sport, participation in youth lacrosse has grown by over 85% in the past decade. This rapid growth makes lacrosse one of the fastest-growing team sports for children and teenagers in the United States.
There are several factors driving this trend: 🤩
Athletic Development: Lacrosse requires a unique combination of speed, agility, hand-eye coordination, and teamwork - skills that translate well to other sports. Parents are drawn to the sport's ability to develop well-rounded athletes.
Community and Camaraderie: Joining a lacrosse team provides kids with a sense of community and the opportunity to build lasting friendships. The team-based nature of the game fosters important social-emotional skills.
Scholarships and Pathways: With increasing visibility at the high school and college levels, lacrosse has become an attractive sport for student-athletes seeking scholarship opportunities. Participation in youth lacrosse can help pave the way for continued play in secondary school and beyond.
