Two years ago the Geese were the top team in the age, what happened? And they had a great 2nd team.
91 decided to take advantage of some friction in the tram, and poached players. It caused the team to fall apart. Legacy needs to refocus and invest in the team in order to recruit more talented players. But it is difficult with new teams popping up alm the time and express and 91 trying to field 3 or more teams (good knows why people pay for those secondary teams. They never perform well and are just lining those directors pockets.) But there are just too many teams. The lacrosse game is getting watered down
Too many teams, so you're saying only those you feel are worthy to play a game should be able to play? The game is open to anyone that wants to pick up a stick. It's people like you that shouldn't be allowed around the game. It's people like you that live through their 12yr old kids to redeem some glory you fell short of. I'm spot on too because no person that ever play this game or any other a t decent level would ever besmirch another from playing the game even if they're a beginner or not very good. Heck Michael Jordan was cut from his basketball team. heaven help your kid(s) for growing up with such a POS role model like yourself and the rest of the stunads on this board that think success at 12 equates to anything other than success at 12. Those T-shirts, the identity people like you and your kids for based on winning a tournament at 12 will all fade to nothing in 5, 10, 15 yrs.
You need a serious therapist. Your one of those people who read everything that is said negatively. Noone said that any kid that plays lacrosse shouldn't play club ball. That doesnt take away from the fact that there are too many teams and it's getting watered down. Lots of these teams cant roster a full team because there are so many different ones. And in process the talent gets too spread out. If we had less then everyone would have a chance to get on a team which would be A or B based on their skills. And you would see more competitive teams in each brackets tournaments. Of course on top of that, the top organizations have to stop overloading their teams. 22 is the max you should have on any team. Anything else is just directors lining their pockets. And they are taking away from all the kids playing time. Although I will say that parents should not put kids into club ball if they cant make the commitment. Or choose one of the smaller clubs who dont practice and tournament year round. Kids should defenitely play other sports. But lacrosse is a team sport. And your not being a team player if you miss constant practices. Not saying this is the majority. But their is a certain amount of parents who put their kids in but dont follow through on the time commitment.
