The landscape of LI lacrosse has changed drastically over 15 years. The problem is PAL HAS become a competitor of club lacrosse. Especially now that PAL doesn't enforce its own rules, won't update websites (was there a 2015 rule book?) and seems generally disorganized and disinterested. PAL exists at the pleasure of its own board. If they actually posted the scores for public consumption we could see who is sandbagging. I now see club teams who historically didn't try to compete during the PAL season now trying to capitalize. Better players get frustrated playing with developing players and eventually stop showing up. If you pay x thousand for club lacrosse and their is a scheduling conflict where are you playing? I agree that town lacrosse is worth saving but PAL is not helping the situation.
