I presume 3rd of 4th Express teams would be afterthoughts with little focus on them. Is that a fair statement? Got notified that my son got on the team but may hold off and go to Bluefish, Jesters or Recon.
Def go to other clubs and try to make their A team, and if not then the B team. Anything more than 2 teams gets lost in the shuffle. They may be very well intentioned znd trying to give a home to all those that wish to play- but truthfully, you'll be better off on a clubs A team, even if they have a smaller following.
Frankly, kids who can only make 3rd or 4th team probably aren't going to playing lacrosse in college so recruiting and exposure really doesn't matter and the parent club's focus or lack thereof on the team is irrelevant. What will make all the difference is the coach of the individual team. Whether it is a C team or a smaller A team, a good coach who encourages and develops the players and makes the season fun will be all that matters. So if you think the C team coach is right for your son, put him there. If you think the A team coach is a better fit, go there. At this level, that will be far and away the most important thing.
