They don't make money in the town program that is why they left... Bottom line! I have heard rumors they were offered 10K and the source is very credible. Think about it and I will only use outlaws as an example because that is where the Smithtown coaches went. If they are charging between $2100 and $2500 a kid and lets say they have 200 kids in the club that's a gross somewhere between $425,000 and $450,000 going into the club just on tuition fee's alone. Then add another $75.00 a kid to try out there's another 20K. Some people are making a nice living off of LI's youth lacrosse players!
That's peanuts compared to the girls - YJ has over 800 kids rostered at $1,600+ per player and a $50 tryout fee and voluntary clinincs and camps. Not to mention they run half the tournaments that they participate in! 2+ million a year flowing through the YJ machine. Now you know why the rumours of Spallina buying them in a multi million dollar deal never go away
WOW!! But it's the town programs that are the problem?!? Laughable
Exactly. People on here complaining about getting fleeced by varsity coaches charging $500-$1000 dollars for 5 summer tournaments but then they are willing to shell out $2500 to a club and don't see the hypocrisy.
I don't think the parents of these players are stupid. If they could just play for their town team for only $500-1000 they would. Now they have to pay the $2500 to a club because their high school coaches are now directors. You don't follow me and pay for my salary at this club let's see how much playing time you get on the high school team. Now that's called collusion.
