As a Lacrosse Dad...I agree. Speed, accuracy, tenacity. I've often called it the sport with the speed of soccer, the ruggedness and passion of football. As close to hockey on grass as there is. My son is a midfielder and a FOGO(FaceOff,GetOff).

As a Lacrosse Dad as well - I agree with your statment NASA_ISS_Tiger....I wish I would have played this sport when I was younger - it is a fantastic sport to watch, very entertaining!

Girls lax dad. Mens and womens lacrosse are awesome sports. I’d say mens is more like a mix of hockey and football and girls is more like hockey and basketball. But at the high levels it’s not a sport for the timid.

Middie/Attack dad, as well. I really wish I had this sport when I was growing up, but soccer was that fringe sport that no one understood, at that time. Have become a huge fan of college lacrosse.

Hockey. Requires skill, speed, and being physical.

It's this. Anyone who downvotes had never come close to playing. The speed and violence at even the 16 year old level is insane, and to couple that with hand-eye coordination that is significantly more demanding than anything save hitting in baseball.

It's hockey.

I would agree many sports are more than basketball, but if tossing things around how about Rugby?

There was a university study on best athletes..
Assessed speed, power, strength, endurance, dexterity, etc

An elite racquet ball athlete was found to be best.

I think it's really well rounded vs specialized..

It's amazing guys run marathon near 2 hours. That's 13.1 mph for 2 hours. That's 4:34 / mile that's 68.5 second 400s 105 times in a row.

Tennis
Endurance more than most sports
Quickness and agility
Extreme level of skill
Strength
And mental toughness unlike any other…. There’s no coach on the court with you.

D1 lacrosse players are not good enough to play football. There is no money in lacrosse.
