Last season I went to Towson to watch them play a home game that was actually played at a neutral sight down south. There werecclub games going on at Burdick Field. Since I was there I decided to stay and watch it. From what I saw it was no where near close to the the D1 or solid D3 lacrosse I typically take my son to see during the season (games played in Maryland - Terps, Navy, Salisbury, Hounds, Hopkins, Tsu). From the two games I watch the players were either under sized or slower. Also stick skills appeared pretty sloppy.


In no way am I trying to diminish the value it brings to those who decide it provides the right atmosphere and life balance for their college experience. I have known many folks that played different intercollegiate sports. To play at that level you must love it as it is a serious life style commitment. This being said I believe, based upon what I viewed last year, equating club play to any leave of intercollegiate play is a bit farcical.
