I took my family last year... Close to $6K. A lot of money but it was great, probably hotter than you would think though.

My kids team got smoked but it was still a great time. On age level sounds like a cake-walk but it really wasn't.
Illinois team was good and BBL vs Wolfpack game was best I've seen. IMHO BBL would have beaten Legacy by 8+.

All that aside, the issue comes down to when L.I. doesn't win or even have a team in finals. I'm a L.I. guy with kids that play but everywhere else just seems to be concentrating on lacrosse and getting better. They travel to every tournament they play in (hotels, air, etc.), I would imagine they spend 10K or more easily a season. Sounds nuts but I don't think they have a choice.

I don't really have a point with this, just enjoy the game. Make sure your kid likes it and is getting better.

This site is full of Daddy Ball issues and $$$. Soon it will be just a second rate forum complaining about Middle school lacrosse.

Let the BASHING begin!!!!
