That may seem pathetic to Crabs toughies, but lacrosse clubs are youth sport organizations with paying customers. He treats lacrosse families like garbage and expects everyone to keep begging for more so their son can play college lacrosse. Turns out he is not the gatekeeper and there are a lot of competing clubs that develop players who wind up getting college opportunities.


I agree. With the explosion of Club teams in last couple of years many players at a young age are getting very good instructions.
Baltimore had a lot of good lacrosse players coming out of it in years past. But I think in the next few years there will be a bigger pool of players with talent coming from Baltimore. Of course other areas are also coming on strong too with their talented players..
