This whole summer of travel lacrosse has been a mess. Everyone should have just shut things down for the summer in an effort to allow things to start opening up on the fall under better circumstances. I love lacrosse. I played in college. I love watching my kids play. And I am no snow flake. But the clubs and some pyscho parents just couldn't let it go this summer. So we're traveling to southern NJ to play teams from LI, and now we have crappy tournaments in August on LI in blazing heat and humidity and lightening delays and cancellations. Meanwhile, we can't put up tents, socialize, etc. We have to run back to our cars in between games like rats. All in a desperate attempt to get a few crappy tournaments in. The lacrosse community - of which I am an active member - should be ashamed of themselves.
