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.


Is it a problem to play on multiple, no. I'd like to know a little bit more why you would want to play on multiple teams given the amount of time one team takes......if it is because you aren't getting fair share of playing time on the 1st team, I'd ask 'why are you staying there?'

You may want to ask yourself though, is it fair to the team (and your sons teammates) that you are taking up a roster spot knowing that potential conflicts may come up?? Probably not

I don't agree with a coach or club mandating anything to parents who are paying. It is your money....but this is travel sports (not specific to lacrosse), not the land unicorns and rainbows. Will a team drop you if you are not committed, absolutely.

Now, i don't have a problem with a coach discouraging people from playing on another team. Why would he want a player on his team that may not be fully committed? By taking a spot on a team, you are committing to be in attendance for all practices and games/tournaments

So to wrap up, go ahead and play multiple clubs all you want....but don't blame a club if they drop you, or don't offer a spot next season. You are bringing the conflicts on yourself
