Most my friends’ kids play lacrosse. They’re not stupid or desperate enough to think they’re “going pro” in athletics.
My son and I had season tickets to “pro” box lacrosse (indoor) for several seasons. All of the players had regular jobs when not playing lacrosse. Really fun sport to watch.
My daughters watched our son play and couldn’t wait until they could play lacrosse. After their first practice they were really disappointed.
“It was stupid - you aren’t allowed to hit another player like the boys can!” They did it for a few years though and had fun.
