Starting A Lacrosse Team
I go to a school that is a least 10 years behind the rest of the world. I mean we have good education and all that but it is not up to date on a lot of things such as gay/lesbian groups, drug support groups, and sports teams. I really want to play lacrosse and would love to start a team at my school, but I have NO clue how to begin! I know of some people who would be interested in playing, but how do you get a coach and equipment and actually make it a school team? If anyone has any advice or anything that I could use, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Do you live in washington.... live near vancouver? hmm naynay way.
STEPS:
1. talk to your sports director- he will talk to the sports administrator and tell you what needs to be done.
2. Most likely you will need to talk to your schools insurance thing to see how/ what you need to do to get it covered(cirtified) by the insurance(basicaly so the reconise it as a sport and will... yeah)
3. to do that you need to get it sanctioned by the schools in your district... how to do that I have no idea(I'm kinda stuck there.
4. After you have it sactioned by the school and it turn cirtified by the insurance you can then start to organize a team. I suggest looking at US LAX http://www.us  lacross  e.org/p  rograms  /newsta  rtprogram.phtml for that
5. Ask your school if you can barrow it to have a LAX night in which you would show people what lax is
6. post flyers and see about getting the night on the announcements, around the schools that you want to join
7. Have lax night... see if any parents are interested in coatching- if not you maybe screwed

Try asking the person in charge of sports for advice. If he/she doesn't have much to say gather a few people interested in playing and bring the matter to the Board of Education. They can probably find a coach from a neighboring school. That's what my school did.
