Fall lacrosse has become a microcosm for how modern high school athletes are evolving.
There is a shift toward focusing on a primary sport to give a better chance of earning a college scholarship with a competitive program.
Lee Corrigan, president of Corrigan Sports Enterprises, operates a top-ranked boys' club lacrosse program called the Roughriders, which consists of about two-dozen teams (based in Maryland and Pennsylvania) ranging from youth to high school seniors. He said the level of competition has forced players to try and stay ahead of peers fighting for the same potential spot on a top-tier high school or college program.
