With so many clubs vying for players and a new one popping up almost every week the clubs are not what they used to be. 15 years ago the handful of club teams were elite teams with only the best players and everyone else played for town teams. Now there are so many clubs that the vast majority are no better than the good town teams. parents today think it is a status symbol to be on a club team so they keep shelling out whatever the cost to say their kid plays for a club. It's sad. we're making people rich who figured out a way to market a dream to naïve parents.
This. exactly. There are 2 quality club teams for 2024 on Long Island. That's it. The rest are just money grabs. Keep your money & play localy in your town. Your kid will be much happier!
