The purpose of pal is to provide an opportunity for all kids from different social and economic backgrounds to get introduced and participate in the sport, it wasn't intended to develop ur kid into a d1 lax player, not to say there aren't some really good town teams out there in which kids can thrive. Obviously theres lots of frustration with with the way pal is run/operated and if ur a parent who feels that way and ur kid has the talent and interest in the sport beyond what pal can offer, look elsewhere, there are plenty of club teams salivating to take ur money.
