All you need is a lacrosse stick and a tennis ball, you can play three on three or five on five,&#8221; explained Paul Rabil, cofounder and president of the Premier Lacrosse League.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The Premier Lacrosse League set up shop at Capitolo Playground, which is just across the street from Pat&#8217;s and Geno&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Like any sport, lacrosse requires a field and equipment, but their goal was to make it more accessible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;The purpose of it was to create or recreate a version of the game that anyone can access at any point,&#8221; said Rabil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The event brought out some professional athletes, including Jason Kelce, who grew up playing lacrosse. Also among the crowd was actor Jeffrey Wright.<\/p>\n<div class=\"oLzSq QrHMO fnRUo pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW RMeqy daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc MENS nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY rPLsU iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM IEgzD OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD VWDdR ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV GPGwb oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX \">\n<div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage GpQCA lZur asrEW \" data-testid=\"prism-inline-image\">\n<figure class=\"kzIjN GNmeK pYrtp dSqFO \" data-testid=\"prism-figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hsDdd vBqtr KrDt zFTjo hakZw HlUVI \" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.abcotvs.com\/dip\/images\/15304389_091424-wpvi-street-lacrosse-10pm-video-vid.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-testid=\"prism-image\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;I didn&#8217;t see a lot of kids that looked like the kids who played &#8212; so in a way the game has expanded. That&#8217;s really beautiful,&#8221; said Wright.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">After hyping up the crowd, they played a few friendly games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The game is growing, even bringing fans from Arlington, Virginia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;I would say lacrosse is growing, it&#8217;s a growing sport, been around for a long time &#8212; one of America&#8217;s oldest games. Fun to see it spread around in different communities and demographics,&#8221; explained Andrew McKenna, who traveled from Virginia to Philadelphia for the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">This was the third street lacrosse event, and people say each one gets bigger and bigger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;Every year every street lax gets better bigger more partners involved more people,&#8221; said Pro Lacrosse Player Lizzie Colson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Maryland and Utah square off in the championship on Sunday at Subaru Park in Chester, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">If you&#8217;re not headed there, you can catch the action at 3 p.m. on 6abc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) &#8212;\u00a0Ahead of the championship, the Premier Lacrosse League was hyping up fans at a street lacrosse event in South Philadelphia on Saturday.
