The last decade has seen countless innovations. Facebook, Google, and something called the iPhone have changed the way we live, work, and interact with each other every day. The last ten years have also brought the resurgence of many trends and ideas of the past. In sports, there has been no greater resurgence than lacrosse. At all levels, the sport has seen an unprecedented rebirth in recent years and shows no signs of slowing!
The sport of lacrosse is one of the oldest team sports in North America originating as a tribal game played by Native Americans. Evidence dating back to the 17th century has been found of a version of lacrosse being played in what is now Canada. During this time, games were major events and could last days as thousands of men from surrounding tribes would come together to compete. Aside from recreational competition, lacrosse games were also used to decide inter-tribal disputes and to toughen young warriors for combat.
Today, lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports at the high school and collegiate levels. From 2000-2014, NCAA lacrosse participation increased by over 100% and today; there is nearly 102,000 high school lacrosse players across the nation. In particular, Minnesota and Florida has seen the largest growth with a 73% and 70% increase in high school players over the last four years respectively, however; the sport remains most popular in northeastern states.
