... I think it was Stampede they charged two new lacrosse balls to tryout. Are they not a good enough club since they don't charge an exorbitant fee? My understanding is they have a very good club...
For the record, Nor'Easter was the club requesting two new white lacrosse balls at tryouts. Remember that Nor'Easter is also coming forward with a free clinic for U/11 and U/13 boys on November 5th. This is a great chance to see a travel lacrosse group in action at a younger age group for a minimal price.
Some of the new teams popping up are charging $50.00. Do they have the same expenses as the bigger clubs? Or are they just charging what they know is the norm?
It seems that this $50.00 fee level has become the norm. Note however that True Blue this season offered free tryouts and had to close their registrations once they reached 250 players for just three age groups.
Something for everyone to think about at this point - it all comes down to value for money. Value can be measured in pure price, the quality of the tryout experience or the likelihood of making a team (knowing the number of open roster spots). There are probably a dozen other factors in evaluating value to these three.
