They all paid the same amount of money. If the playing time was going to be unequal then that should be stated up front. There are lots of clubs that have a philosophy that wins and losses don't mean anything and that there will be equal time for all regardless of the score. Obviously, Express is not one of those clubs. In high school and college you can't expect equal playing time. But in the pay for play world, that should be the only way.
Not sure if you completely understand the Elite Travel lax world, do a little research on the Dukes website under questions: Look up playing time. Do the same for Leading Edge in NJ. Playing time at these top clubs is earned, not given. It's the way it works.
I seriously doubt that anybody in the travel lacrosse world thinks for a minute that playing time is going to be equal at this level, and particularly anybody that posts here on BOTC. If you come on this site more then once a year you know that playing time is not equal on Express or pretty much any other team.
Absolutely. Unless you are at a college showcase. Then winning is not the only objective. It's to give all the kids an opportunity to play in front of college coaches. The only person concerned with a win or a lose there are the clubs. It's a reflection on program if they win or lose , and that means dollars. Shouldn't drag kids to Maryland or Philadelphia to stay in hotels , have them write letters to college coaches letting them know they will be at showcase, and then not play them.
Amen. It's unbelievably disappointing to let college coaches know your schedule ahead of time and not be given the chance to perform regardless of whether you play well or not at least be given the opportunity given the money paid. If not given the opportunity then don't take the money. Scam.
