There is talk of a girl's version ofthe NLF getting started next year. It would likely start in 8th or 9th grade. I would love to see that happen. The younger girls and boys should go back to MYLA. Back to the old days when lacrosse was a spring sport and being on a team cost $75 and the season ended with Beach Lax. Life was simpler and the kids had fun and were less stressed out.
Unfortunately that train has permanently left the station, and it's not only in lacrosse, but all other sports as well. Too many kids are focusing on one sport and, as a result, the clubs will continue to grow at the expense of town/rec leagues. I wouldn't be surprised if they're almost non-existent in 10-15 years. We've got no one else to blame but ourselves.
