Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4677150, member: 1559"] My son played both youth lacrosse and youth baseball until he couldn't play both at the same time. It seemed there are way more baseball tournaments than lacrosse tournaments. In my experience, there are few very large baseball tournaments in New Hampshire, but there are very large tournaments in the northeast. Heck in Cooperstown, NY, they have probably 2500 12 year olds playing baseball each week for 15 weeks at Cooperstown Dreams Park and Cooperstown All Star Village. And, baseball has highly developed youth baseball tournaments run by Little League and Cal Ripken that lacrosse doesn't have. (Remember when Trumbull won the LL World Series?). In my experience in New England, it seems some towns are baseball towns and some towns are lacrosse towns. In Connecticut, a lacrosse hot bed, there are 98 boys HS teams, but there are 178 boys baseball teams. All that said, I think UConn should have a men's lacrosse team, but I understand the financial reasons why they don"t. [/QUOTE]
