I agree with you. Unfortunately, it competes with baseball here, where it should really compete with soccer. It's hot as hell at some of the games. Can't play it in fall, because the lacrosse players also play football. That leaves winter.

Since it became popular in New England, and that's the best time to play it, I guess there is nothing we can do about it now.

When do they play soccer in Syracuse? Isn't it a winter sport? It is in California.

I would guess the schools up there play soccer in the spring. Lacrosse players are generally beefier than soccer players, but both need to have good legs. Here in Virginia, we have track, baseball, soccer, tennis and lacrosse in the spring. So you’ve got three sports competing for good runners. A handful of people who play soccer also run in important meets, but of course they’re not in top track shape.
