What this says to me is the better kids from one of these teams should move over to the other team and make a good to great AA team. This kills me AA kids should play AA they should not hurt themselves and play on a A team just because mommy and daddy do not like to drive 15 or 20 more miles for practice.


15-20 extra miles is DMV traffic? If my kid has a good option close there's no discussion. It's youth sports right?

Its fine you can tell me its the drive or traffic but the truth is you love your little super stat being the best on his A team and everyone telling you how good he is. God forbid you tryout and play for a AA team where he has to work and get better to play at a AA level. But you feel good and you have your friends to hang with. I get it. its hard to not feel comfortable and be scared your star might not be the best on the field. A level is good lacrosse I am talking about the clear AA player playing down on A level clubs.


Actually my kid is middle of the roster on good A team. We're in baltimore - so fortunate to have more choices. He's tried out for AA teams but just isn't good for the top teams. The opposite is true up here - that parents will drive all over, encourage their kid to switch teams and suck up to coaches in an effort to get their kid on a "AA" team so they have my boy is "AA" status. Is he learning the game, becoming a better athlete/teammate & having fun? That's all that matters
