Mr ignorant, it's called non-for-profit lacrosse. Bethesda has never required kids to spend money on the same helmets, gloves, etc. They actually spend budget dollars on training. If you have ever played a BLC team, you would recognize that. Go ask the same coaches you reference. Core of Kids have played together for years. Class group of kids and families. Enjoy your holiday and try not to be such a Scrooge. If it makes you feel better to throw our propaganda, keep on firing. Ignorance is bliss
