Our kid wants to play and win against the “best” and we support them! Just because your kid isn’t good enough yet, don’t beat the money grab drum. We all know it.... just like every youth sport at the top level is a money grab! Can the landscape change by high school and your kid is now in the mix? Absolutely! But chances are, the kids on the teams that qualify for the World Series are ahead of the game... and hopefully enjoying their experience! Looking forward to fall, winter, spring and summer! And my kid kicking your kids butt!


"But chances are, the kids on the teams that qualify for the World Series are ahead of the game... " LOLOLOL. Each and every one of these travel teams has at least a couple of kids that are just as good as the best kids on the "AAA teams". Please, get over yourself. They are 12 years old; let's see what happens when they get just a little older and discover there's a whole other world out there beyond travel lacrosse. We know the kids will be alright, the real question is: how will you compensate for the deficiencies in your own life now that you can't live through your son?
