Such an endless whine fest. Again, the END game for Lacrosse is College, not pros, not Team USA just college. The sport is on a very limited budget. Coaches make minimal salaries, assistants make a barely living wage. Why do you think there are so many prospect days? Our kids play a regional game, with little interest outside our world. If you have been to a D1 game you will see parents and family members. About 70-100 people. If the weather is nice. Go to a D3 football game, 2-3000 people. So keep dreaming but it’s not going to change, ever.
There are plenty of other college sports that have similar (dis)interest, along with the same 'bleak' situation with respect to coaches and comp, post-college opportunities, etc. Yet, they all deal with an age-based systems in the same way that big sports do.
