The first hurdle is visibility. In countries like Korea, lacrosse remains a niche sport. Few people know its rules, fewer have handled the equipment, and schools rarely offer any way to try it.

Across North America, 36 professional teams, more than 300 colleges, and roughly 1,200 high schools field lacrosse teams — a scale that's hard to imagine for a sport most of the world has never watched.

It wasn't just recreation. Baggataway was used to settle disputes between tribes, to build unity within them, and sometimes to prepare young men for the physical demands of conflict.
