It’s a great business model. It just [Censored] for local kids/parents.

-Offer a struggling rec/club team admin some money to join the “family.”

-Promise to keep the team together.

-Take over the team. Advertise new green/black logo.

-Split up team how it best serves the company. Install new, overwhelmingly mediocre coaches.

-Charge parents $2800+ for the same A-level lax they were getting a year before for $800.

Then kids CAN’T leave because they no longer have a local cheap rec/club option to play lacrosse at and still aren’t good enough to make a good club team.

So sure. They are “bridging the gap” between rec and club alright. By letting hopeful and naive parents pay club prices for rec lax.
