Lacrosse seems to have many showcase events that are pick-up teams meaning players seem to do more picking and choosing for their individual events.
BOTC Industries points out that most showcase events will quote a full team price (typically in the $1200-$1400 range), but also a single day and multiday price for individual "free-agent" players. The daily fee is typically 10-15% of the team price while the two-day fee will be approximately 20% of the team fee.
(As opposed to soccer where the decisions are more made on a team level for showcasing.)
Soccer sees much more structure in terms of players being loaned from team-to-team even for a showcase event between passes, rosters, and player releases. In lacrosse, this practice is more, well, lax. This also helps to explain why several lacrosse clubs are accused of playing "down" in tournaments to secure wins.
When profiles are handed out, is there any type of team summary or is it more a collection of individual players? How does the lacrosse head coach manage to represent these players?
Most clubs that develop profiles will also "own" those profiles from the standpoint of presenting the data. Each profile will typically stand on its own.
