I saw a parent already at our school with fundraising material in her hands talking to the school so I guess that's coming our way. "support our u19 player or..." who knows but I'm sure it will be negative. Those girls get a ton of gear but have to pay their own way to Scotland and the practice venues. OTOH, I feel it's not my problem. They knew this going in, and it's not up to the rest of us to fund their travel.
Thoughts?
That is what happens with amateur sports. Many amateur athletes must fundraise to support their endeavors. It's definitely not limited to lacrosse, but it is this way across the board in most other sports. Some are worse.
But with such a prestigious team, I suspect that many people will het behind these girls. I know I would attend/support a fundraiser if one of those girls was from my town.
