It’s pretty funny that there is a lot of shade thrown about youth lacrosse. Any “club team” out there is out to make a buck, come on now. If anyone on this chat who wants to bash any “youth” team needs to get a life. Here’s a real question for you helicopter parents out there who says that you should only play for the local teams. Why are you not petitioning your state youth sport authorities to ban any club teams holding competition during the spring? Bring back the Rec model full circle and youth players cannot play club during the spring only play during the summer. Instead of having “Hawks”, PLC ect you have AYLA, or does it matter to your son that you say he’s elite?
