Hope the smart folks figure this out.
Based on all the posting over the last couple days, sounds like there’s an opportunity for some parents to get their kids together from different teams in different schools and do what the Chainbridge kids from Virginia did. Club lacrosse has grown to be pretty toxic around here, we played that team and those kids were having a blast and the Dad’s were too. The players on that team were all elite level, but they were not getting screamed at. They were definitely confused at times and lacked some cohesiveness, but they gave us all we wanted and appeared to have fun doing it. I’m guessing each player got a little better from it, too. Kudos to those dads for putting it together. I’m jealous!
