Just curious about the health of local youth lacrosse—and youth sports generally—in the DMV/Baltimore area.

There’s always more teams as you get towards middle school relative to elementary. Comparing sixth grade to previous sixth grade years numbers at HOCo likely to be pretty similar to the past. Maybe a few teams fewer than normal. The decline in numbers has occurred more at the rec level.
