At least it's close and you're playing with kids you know and potential coaches down the road. But if you want club, seek out the best team your son can make and travel to that location to practice. You mind fees and the extra travel to practice if it's worth it.


Valid points, but considering how much quality lax there is on LI and the number of clubs, you've hit upon opportunities for existing and new clubs - there are pockets of locales where if you offered a quality option, you could cater to a whole swath of players that are currently driving all over God's creation to play club. I get that field space is limited and hard to come by, but it would seem to me that this is a rare business where where the owners expect everyone to come to them as opposed to possibly looking at where their customers are and looking for options to bring that product closer to their customers.
