Lacrosse is growing in popularity among high school players. From 2008–2013, 621 high schools added boys’ teams and 588 for girls. This is a 34% uptick in boys’ lacrosse teams and a 36% increase in girls’ teams. These numbers easily show lacrosse sports teams outpacing the growth of other high school sports.
It doesn’t stop there. Among all NCAA sports, lacrosse is the fastest growing. In 2013, there were over 35,000 varsity, club and junior college players and 60 new varsity programs were created.
