Me personally I think if a kid has an opportunity to play they should and no club should EVER tell a kid they can't play anywhere else. Especially after making their tuition payment.

Sounds ridiculous but it happens. Just think of this this way, if the parents told the club coach once the team was formed they can't add any players or coach anywhere else how would that sound? Crazy right, so what gives the coaches the right To tell a kid they can't play anywhere else except for them. NONE. They would drop them in a hearbeat if they found someone better. Just sounds crazy how some of these guys think. They have no loyalty to your kid but if the kid finds another outlet outside of their lacrosse empire they go nuts. Makes no sense.


Where does he play when both teams have a tournament the same day in different locations? Unless both teams know in advance when the kid accepts the offer that there are tournaments he might not make, you put the rest of one of the teams at risk.

Say the kid is a FOGO on a NY-based "A" team and on the Duke's National team. What happens when he decides to play for the Duke's team at Hogan's Summer Exposure the second weekend in June instead of for the NY-based "A" team at LI Laxfest the same weekend. Now you have an "A" team playing in a competitive tournament without their FOGO - and with very few exceptions, nobody is carrying two killer FOGOs.

The only way this works is if both teams know about the conflict and still decide to add the kid to the roster knowing that there is a chance that they will be S.O.L. if he wants to play for the other team that weekend.

Either that or Duke's has a National roster of 70 kids and a copy of everyone's schedule in the northeast so that they know where to get players for any tournament that they want to enter.


Mind your own business. Why do you care about what other people are doing and what their kids are doing so much?
