Sticking with it: lacrosse, one of America's oldest games, is now one
of the hottest.(Eye on Team):
"According to the SGMA, lacrosse grew 22.9 percent from 2002 to 2003,
the highest growth rate of all team sports in that time period.
Moreover, US Lacrosse estimates that America has more than 300,000
active lacrosse players, with youth players comprising about half that
number. ..."
