Thoughts on a decent weak A/strong B team other than Legacy or Express. The team my son is on cannot field an extra practice. And for regular practice it is always the same 10-12 kids that show up. As it gets colder it will only get worse. I think the coaches are getting frustrated too. Half the team is new to travel lacrosse.
Try the ducks, they are a great B team. Some good talent there.

Kids get pulled up and do not play (which the parents are ok with), they leave for another club or just decide not to do travel anymore. I understand teams will add a few players but half a team? The roster is just as big as their A team now. And b/c the coaches are fair, kids will get equal playing time regardless if they are at practice or not.
I'm guessing your son plays on this organizations B team? This is the exact reason why B teams for an organization are no good. My advice, go find a club where there is only 1 team per age group..... There are plenty around for this age Go ask around with Recon, Outlaws, True Blue, Bluefish, Millon, Icon
Yes he does. frustrating for him b/c the drills don’t work and they don’t win. Then I wonder why thehell am I paying all this money for an upgraded PAL team. It could work if the A team coach stops hoarding kids.
Express model: 35 kids per team on the roster with over 50% almost never seeing the field other than in blowouts! No thank you! - no player should have to deal with that until you get to college, especially when you're paying to play!

Appreciate all the feed back. Will look into those teams. Might have to make a move before the next payment is due.
