I can compare both sports currently at the same time, got a kid doing each. Both on very good, high level teams. Soccer is much more expensive for the organized leagues and training, monthly club fees, and a touch less travel expense than lacrosse. In the end I say soccer is more expensive because the clubs are more organized and have their hand in your pocket more often than the lacrosse, but lax is catching up. And why go away when LI is the hotbed? Because my daughters team would never lose a game if they stayed on LI. Good teams from the rest of the east coast do not come to LI tournaments period.
