Because ball hogs start in PAL because they need to be able to verbal in 8th grade. So any average or developing kid gets squeezed out of a great sport way too young by kids that are black holes on the field. We don't see any of this at volleyball, softball, soccer or basketball. Kids play those sports for fun nobody talks about "verbals" yet kids still end up getting some scholarships and all the parents cheer for all the kids and the team. Parents have their kids play lacrosse for scholarships like its a job.
PAL coaches are just as culpable, the win at all cost mindset that most of them have enable 2-3 girls to control the game and the rest never develop, but they win games...
Don't disagree with a lot of what you said. But it is happening in many other sports as well. Soccer? definitely. [/quote]
