Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the USA! Boys and girls play this sport, primarily with a stick and a ball. It is usually played in the spring, like softball or baseball.

Boys lacrosse is a contact sport, especially at the older ages. Girls lacrosse is a non-contact sport. There are many youth sports organizations in New Hampshire that sponsor youth lacrosse.
