A lot of valid points about town lax vs. club lax. Many clubs are probably watered down a bit since 15 years ago. The cost is expensive but is it worth it? The added drills, practices and tourneys should help a player develop a lot quicker. They will also build up a camaraderie with teammates. The downside of not joining a club is that I think town coaches will favor club kids more simply because they'll think they're more dedicated to the game and that the town kid will leave the sport in a year or so anyway.
