The point of daddy run clubs vs the business model is simple. Can dad's run a club and be successful? Yes, but to be successful in the long term they need to make the commitment to do it fulltime. You can't be a part-time player, when parent are looking for your help for their kids to a college. The owners of BL will face that time in a couple of years. People throw out Madlax, it was built out of a business model that expanded to club lacrosse, Spallina is a career coach who expanded his profile. BL may be successful and have dominant teams at multiple years (Sons had that and now they will be gone in a few years). Their owners have a big decision to make at some point in the next 2 years of what their model will look like for 9th-11th grade teams. It could help them land more players.
