How does one define best program? Competitiveness of the team (Wins/Losses or Tournament won) or can best program be the one which makes you feel as though you are getting what you are paying for. Good communication, good/caring coaches, fun experience (both lax and non). I guess OP would need to set that definition for themselves and then those in these various programs could opine.

OP here.
Fair question.
I'd say from a coaching and development perspective.
Having fun is paramount for both me and my son. Therefore, a good group of parents to share solo cups with on the sidelines helps things too.
I don't care about posting a victory pic on FB or getting the "champion" tshirt. I care about my kid getting better. He's not going D1 but he's solid player.


If you are looking at development, just look at the teams that year over year are competing better and not just at the top. Those at the bottom who are advancing each year. It's easy to be the top team with the most talent, but it's the teams that each season show progress as a team that show true development. It's new time, the places that are focusing integrating Box lacrosse are the places to be. If teams are turning large pieces of their roster each year they are not concerned with developing the players, only win and losses.
