It's the ugly under belly of this sport and youth sports in general. Find a team that your kid gets decent minutes and you can afford. If you are spending north of $3000/year on youth lax to watch the starting line play the majority of the game then you are getting hosed. Unless your kid loves collecting t-shirts and taking pictures where it's obvious they didn't see the field since they are not dropping in sweat. This BS on BOTC is out of control. good luck to all kids. I hope they all improve and have fun this coming season. Fellow parents sit back and enjoy your kids. They'll be off to college before we know it and you'll look back at all this nonsense and realize your craziness on this site was for you trying to fulfill YOUR dreams of being able to say your kid plays for one of the strongest teams.
