Let's just be clear, this isn't "youth lacrosse". This is elite level club lacrosse. Not only does HOCO provide differentiated levels of play and competition for club/travel teams, but there is another league for rec/youth lacrosse in this area called MYLA. Whether you live in Howard, Carroll, Baltimore, or Harford County, your son (or daughter for that matter) can play at a variety of levels of "youth lacrosse" in MYLA. MYLA has an established and very successful lacrosse legacy in this area and they are strictly age-based. What makes this country great is that you have choices... you can choose where to buy a home, where to eat dinner, and where to have your kids play lacrosse. But with all things, choose wisely and if you're not happy with your product or service, make a different choice next time.
