I played lax in H.S. in Columbus OH in '75 and at Kenyon College. It is an awesome game that doesn't require genetic advantages. It has grown tremendously in Ohio.

The biggest issues holding back growth in areas where it's not played are:

1) getting enough quality coaches
2) schools not looking to grow mens athletic programs
3) cost (equipment plus travel to find competition)

Thanks for listening.
