“Lacrosse is such an exciting game to begin with… I say the best way to grow the game is footage. No one knows how fun it is until they see it, and without doubt im sure a lot of people will love it!”

“To grow the game you just need to love lacrosse, play it, and spread it.”

“In Poway, I always have my lacrosse stick. We have this program called Team 200 where we (the high school jv and varsity teams) go and help the youngsters out with technique, and we have a great time. I’ve also introduced it to my family in Claremont, and I’ve got my cousins looking in to it and maybe they will start playing.”

“I use Miracle Grow. And sometimes I talk to it softly.”

“Every time I go to a doctor’s office they have magazines there but never any lacrosse magazines. We have all sat there in the waiting room flipping through the Good Housekeeping and NatGeos from over a year ago, not able to find anything to read. What I started to do is take my old us lacrosse or inside lacrosse mags and leave them at the office after I leave. That way a countless number of people can read it and learn about lacrosse.”

“Taking a couple of sticks on vacation to the Bahamas, and teaching the locals how to play and seeing how cool they think it is.”

“The way to grow the game is get other people sticks, take them out and shoot… show them what the sport is really about.”

“Well, I started a high school team in my area and now have been teaching some of the local Ho-chunk tribe about their ancient game and I have been growing it that way. It’s a good way to give back to a sport I love. I also started helping out with our starter youth programs and it has been going well.. Only been involved in the game for 5 years and I’ve grown it in my area exponentially.”

“Me and some of my bros from my team make these sick lacrosse trick shot videos, we go all over the place and encourage other kids to start playing, hoping our vids are cool and wanna try.”

“Coaching kids! There is no better way than to coach a group of kids and instill in them that same passion and pride to belong to a family. Then they go and get their friends involved and interested and it GROWS from there. GTG.”

“The best way to Grow the Game is how you communicate and show off the perks of playing lax. Just the other day I restrung my stick and showed my friend, and the next day he bought a cheap lax stick and we had a catch and I taught him some stuff.”

“My mom runs a home day care out of our house and when I go outside to play wall ball all the kids come outside to watch and play. They loved it so I went and got a whole bunch of mini sticks for them to play with and practice scooping, throwing, and catching. Growing the game anyway I can.”

“My favorite way to grow the game is helping those unprivileged kids learn about the support. It’s a great way to make someone else smile, make yourself smile, and really appreciate the sport. Also, coaching younger kids is nice too because you get to help them improve their game, one small step at a time.”

“I throw balls at my friends, but they cant throw them back because they dont know how to play, which motivates them to learn lacrosse.”

“Grow the Game with attitude. Be an ambassador of the game every day and everywhere. People know you play lacrosse, so be the best person you can be. Treat everyone with the utmost of respect, leave places better than you found them, and always offer to help out. Be a great person and people will want to emulate you… and play lacrosse as well.”
