You guys are whack-o. My son has been a part of the program for almost a year now. More kids get cut than make it. So of course there are going to be a lot of little-Johnny parents not happy. But if you get your son there AND he remains a top talent, he will play. As better kids have come in, tried out, guest played, whatever, my sons playing time varies. Playing time is not guaranteed- its based on talent. You people in PA couldn't last one try-out for a PAL team in LI. Coming to the mini camps is but a part of the system. Its a competition with winners and losers. Its hard but fair. What is so hard to understand? You can think your son deserves the world, but its him that has to earn it. At Dukes, he will have challenges- that is guaranteed.


It's hard but fair, you're joking!!! Don't create a depth chart, tell kids to work their [lacrosse] off to make it on the depth chart and then dishonor them by not sticking to the depth chart!!! It sucks when your kid believes they are one of 5 attackmen to be traveling to play in a tournament and then have 8 kids show up to play attack, and those additional 3 players are not even on the team. It doesn't matter how skilled your kids is, it affects everyone that shows up to play, that's why this organization gets such a bad rap and one day will disappear into obscurity
