Crosse Clicks: If Superman Played Lacrosse…

International Quidditch Association

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]f Superman played lacrosse, the game would probably be a lot more like quidditch.

Think about it.

There’s been so much going on over the past couple of weeks in our sport, and it’s not easy to keep up with it all! The only person capable of such a thing would be Superman. He’d get to watch a ton of lacrosse if he wanted, omniscient about the growth of the game.

At any rate, the team here at LaxAllStars.com is doing our best to emulate his greatness. From big game photos and the latest MCLA action to special spotlight features and the nitty gritty details of lacrosse in the greater Los Angeles area, our plan is to give you access to more and more of the greatest sport in the world.

If you think we’re missing something, or if you’d like to get involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
