We've had a lot of transplanted parents (especially from Colorado) who have contacted us inquiring about any league around here that their children could participate in, and over a year later it's finally coming to fruition. I know many of our guys plan to help with this league, through coaching, camps, organization, and hopefully some officiating, and we're all excited for it. The potential for youth lacrosse growth in NW Arkansas is insane.

It gives Walmart a chance to jump on the bandwagon and sell some gear. Of course, it would be walmart quality gear, but any growth is positive here.

I asked my little brother if he knew what lacrosse was---he didn't.
It will be a while before lacrosse will catch on in Arkansas.
