Top Prep Schools for Lacrosse

Lacrosse is a team sport originated by Native Americans that involves scoring goals with a rubber ball that is passed between players using netted sticks; good play requires agility more than brute force. In the United States, lacrosse is played at the major league and collegiate levels, and many high schools also offer lacrosse training. Many of the top-rated high school lacrosse programs in the U.S. are at prep schools in the mid-Atlantic region. National lacrosse rankings are tracked by the site LaxPower.com.
