Message for coaches/club directors....playoff weekend is not the weekend to play all 30 kids on the roster. The goal is to win...period! Play the best kids who show up to practice and don't look back. Good Luck to everyone in the playoffs.
Rewording it for you: Not the weekend to play all 30 kids just because their mom brought them to practice on time. Play the best kids (on the submitted roster) who show up for the playoff games. Whether they are fly-ins or not.
Youth lax is not a meritocracy or even a HWPO-ocracy. If your sons team rostered a 6'4" double holdback who just got out of juvie last week and has an 88mph shot...guess who's starting.
Playing the best kids is the definition of a meritocracy.
If the mythical kid you mentioned is better than your son he will play. If your son is better than the imaginary kid you reference than your son will play.
Make sense?
If it’s a tie then parents get to complain under their breath all game which is super fun.
