High school lacrosse players: “I want to play lacrosse in college.” High school lacrosse player: “I want to go out on my boat, sleep in all summer, play video games, and not lift weights.” You either suffer the pain of disciple or the pain of disappointment-both are choices.

I get lacrosse is a niche sport-you don’t have to tell me that. However, I’ve just watched three of the best sporting events I’ve seen over the course of a year, and how can you not love this game? C’mon.

When I first started playing, my school gave me gloves, a helmet, shoulder pads, and the coach bought me a stick. If the school and coach didn't do that, I probably would've done something else. Lowering the barriers of entry to the game would allow more kids to play.

If our state association eliminates the face off from lacrosse to keep people safe, then we just can’t have lacrosse in the spring. Getting rid of that element of the game fundamentally changes a contest. Unless you add a shot clock, people will hold the ball.
