The parents are like the battered spouse that keeps coming back for more. "Write the check please. It will change, Really.... We are a top team. A non travel team model...swear...."

Ask the parents of the kids on the team that didn't play their son at all how "Huge" the "Win" was.... Id love to see their responses. "We beat Express..it was awesome. I paid $3500+, had my sons confidence destroyed and I sat there for 2 hrs, after 3 practices this week, watching other kids play that really aren't any better than the kids that didnt see the field." Thats some "Win" right there. Congrats!

Lax is a team game folks. The sooner these "coaches" realize that the sooner you will have an answer to the question above: "What is the answer for kids on the cusp? On the flip side how many of these kids will be burnt out, injured or sick of playing lacrosse by the time senior year rolls around?"
