You must have had a bad experience. The majority of parents would prefer the coach NOT have a son/daughter on the team, no favoritism, no questions about coach's kids best buddy playing more.

Let's be real. If you don't have a kid on the team and are putting a ton of time in, you're most likely not doing it for the 2k-5k a year (at most). You're doing it to help these kids grow as player and young men. Most grown men aren't looking to put in 2-3 days a week and every weekend in the summer to pay a 1/4 of their Long Island property taxes for the year.


I disagree. For some, coaching the team is only part of their income. They get the bulk of their pay through clinics and private training sessions of $50/hr or more. The fact that they coach competitive lacrosse teams is a great selling feature and excuse to charge big money to parents with deep pockets.
