Inside lacrosse this month is running a feature article on the fact that US lax is trying to increase tournament play at this level to elevate the level of lax being played at this age. But the Washington Board has decided that Washington middle schoolers don't deserve to have a state tournament, because it's too competative.

This message was sent to us from the 'Friends of Athletic Fields and many other field lovers'.  We hope that you'll take the time to read this article and contact the local council.  With the continued field issues that we all face each season it's important to support any project that creates more field space for sports.

BALTIMORE — US Lacrosse has announced that it is entering into a strategic alliance with Kroenke Sports Enterprises to organize, promote and run US Lacrosse State and National Tournaments at the Under-15 level for boys’ and girls’ teams.
