 | Is this a little much ?
| by OpenHouseForum (#3709) on 6/05/08 @2:18PM | Is it just or me, or is this process a little over the top for what is essentially a once a week pick-up league for great lacrosse players who have careers that allot them the time to do this.
Agility drills, 40 yard dash sending data back to be analyzed and sent to GM's.
seems like a little bit much. | | | Reply to this

| why lax wont go prime time.
| by killermystery (#117375) on 6/05/08 @8:51PM | where im from and im pretty sure all across the nation there are two things that hold lax back. first of all alot of people havent heard of lacrosse,mainly in central u.s and in the south.second lacrosse has a stigma atach to it, that mainly rich white kids play the psort.
i dont think lacrosee will every break into prime time if they dont address these problems.i think it can esasily be done, and i believe that lax has the potential to be bigger then baseball. | | | Reply to this

| It is so neccessary
| by kyfornd (#150490) on 11/19/08 @12:46AM | | I don't think it's too much at all. if any lacrosse player wants lacrosse to spread more and become a major sport that might get its own videogame or a spot in the olympics steps need to be taken in order to become a more legit sport. 40-yard dashes, agility, vertical, etc. are all used in any other major sport and in order for lacrosse to expand how we want it we have to test players skills at all levels. plus it helps the coaches pick players, if two players have the same stick skills same blazing shot and the same leadership they want, a coach might turn to who is faster or who has better balance that way they KNOW they are getting the best of the two players. All those drills also push colleg and high school players to do more than just go out and shoot in order to impress a coach, it gives kids the initiative to go out and work harder and build better players ultimately. | | | Reply to this

| U.S. Lax(please read about clear)
| by txlax44 (#208833) on 12/28/08 @1:36AM | | I've noticed that lacrosse is different from where you go. for example i used to live in Liverpool, New York i grew up playing Lax(going on my 9th year playing the sport) and now I'm living and playing for a team in McKinney Texas (and this team had started just 4 years ago). The coach is a real jerk too. But unlike New York Lax everyone down here sucks and they think there good if they have $1,00O worth of gear. Plus everyone i play with are jerks. So my uncle played for Utica College and came down to try and help but the coach kicked him out of practice because he told him that a clear from the goalie up the middle of the wasn't going to work and took offense to that. I just wanted to respond to the response about lax different in the country. | | | Reply to this
