PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Welcome to another great year of Scripps Lacrosse. It appears that mother nature is going to change our plans slightly in terms of starting the season, but soon we will be on the fields playing ball. And while the primary goal of scripps Lacrosse is to provide a quality program for our players enjoyment and skills development, our drive is to use athletics as a vehicle to develop responsible young men in our community.
2008 Season is off to a great start!

HISTORY OF LACROSSE
Lacrosse, considered to be America's first sport, was born of the North American Indian, christened by the French, and adapted and raised by the Canadians. Modern lacrosse has been embraced by athletes and enthusiasts of the United States and the British Commonwealth for over a century.
Today's lacrosse enthusiasts play this primarily amateur sport for love rather than financial reward. Two professional leagues (National Lacrosse League, indoor; Major League Lacrosse, outdoor) dot the North American landscape. But long after the more high profile collegiate athletes have used their skills to enter the professional sports arena, the finest men and women lacrosse players are using their talents in the dynamic amateur competition known as 'club' lacrosse.
Once a pastime played in the shadows of baseball stadiums in the Northeast of the United States, lacrosse has become a national sport with more than 250,000 active players.
