Give your money to the clubs that prioritize developing their current players. The teams that fly in kids from out of state over kids that are on their rosters and pay tuition should be out of business. We aren’t here to work for the clubs, the clubs work for us. We pay them, so if they aren’t loyal to their own players they shouldn’t have players anymore.You vote with your feet. How quickly they will change if people flee the Big 2 teams.
It won’t change.
NLF clubs all have the same model. They don’t need your kid or the next kid etc. they’re going to have the best kids in the end.
https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/inside-lacrosse-class-of-2025-top-50-junior-rankings/62034At the time of publish, 38 of the top 50 ranked juniors play for NLF clubs. Take a look at the list. Only 2 LI teams represented in that group.
Rinse repeat. It’s not changing.
And most clubs are not “developing kids”. Impossible to do with your twice a week hour and a half practice. The kids who “develop” are the ones putting in all the extra work outside of practice.
