No because field and box still use them Unless sixes becomes the standard for college and hs then they will still need FO. Even in the PLL its going back to it in a way since they outlawed longpoles from taking them. I know next year with a rules change they are looking at faceoffs but we dont know what that is. Sixes is just a variation to allow more countries to field a team and a way for people to see a faster version of it that's not box. If they start sixes leauges then we could see a shift Like Reply Quote

If you're concerned about the value of the exposure for your 5th grader, I doubt it's a huge return on your $800 investment, but it was a blast and the coaches are current pro players who were a lot of fun for the kids to play with. It's not really a cut throat competitive vibe at all, it's more of a really fun weekend to spend with your kid with a lot of good players. Like Reply Quote

Any solid Nassau county programs that are good to start with as an entry point? Does your son play any additional sports? At this age most teams are already set however there are several B teams in all programs that would be a good starting point to see if he likes it. You should also consider signing him up for your town PAL for starters before club lax. As all club lax is $ Like Reply Quote

If you don’t mind spending 800 bucks for some extra lacrosse and travel then have at it. Most people do it for fomo. A lot of people do it so they can post that their kid got selected on instagram. Remember……if you get “invited” to something but have to pay to play…….its a money grab. Plain and simple. As long as you know what going in. Like Reply Quote

I’m not a GC parent, nor affiliated with GC in anyway, but got to say that if GC has four teams, they’re doing it right with player development. No question GC will be a top team at this age group as they are with most age groups given class size and lax focus. Good luck to all. Like Reply Quote

Agreed - towns like GC and manhasset have multiple teams that usually play in the A conference while others have 1 team. Makes their perceived rosters seem fairly thin but they develop many more players this way year in and year out. Like Reply Quote
