Disagree for a number of reasons, key ones being that it is really the only recreational lacrosse option available and there are plenty of boys that continue to play at that level of commitment only. The boys that play club also will not swap 2 - 3 local practices per week in PAL for comparable club practices: the clubs may not have the manpower to do it, the boys now would have to be driven to how ever far away their team practices and logistically that is way harder for many, the cost is not in line between PAL versus club. What you are projecting is a sport that is dying as opposed to one that is growing. You cannot expect a sport to continue where only elite players play at all. The only way PAL goes away is if it is replaced with something that is likely comparable to PAL in many ways - so then what has been achieved other than a different organization running it?


agreed. Getting rid of PAL will help the top school programs and kill the lower programs. The top programs will have there players play club instead the lower programs will just not play youth lacrosse.
