The cost of what all of you are paying is too much. $1500-$2000 for a fall season involving a few practices and 2-3 one day tournaments is not a good value. Same for 4 weeks of summer lacrosse is not a great value either. If you are a VLC or a Blackwolf parent chances are you are buying more lacrosse than just your club fees, and those events are also expensive for what they are. I can rent a turf field for $95 an hour and have done so a few times for kids' soccer parties. Over a club team practicing 2x 25 roster kids, those field rentals they keep talking about being expensive works out to less than $4 per kid per 2 hour training session.

My son got a scholarship to a top lacrosse program and it is $12,000 for the first year. That still leaves over $40,000 a year to pay. Good that it is a great school, but if any of you are doing this for a return on investment you'll be pretty disappointed later. I find it silly.
