Use this thread to discuss lacrosse for the Fall 2020/Summer 2021 season pertaining to Boys 2022 graduates (11th grade).

The last year of club lax...... could not come fast enough! Done feeding this dying beast.

If you're so done with this sport, why come on here to vent your feelings? Talk about hypocritical... Just watch your kid play (or dont play for that matter) for the last time and go find another hobby to [ChillLaxin] about. Obviously little johnny wasn't good enough to play at the next level and you're visibly disgruntled about that. See ya troll

The person is referring to himself. Maybe the the guys kid is committed and sticking with school ball going forward. Or maybe, the kid is a very good player and got tired of playing the sport. I'm sure your wife is waiting to get rid of somethings (YOU) so she could get to the next level

This entire club experience is a garbage shoot, had some great seasons and some disastrous seasons. Some great coaches and non existent coaching. For the most part, club directors are terrible business people that have great lax knowledge and coaching skills. Somewhere along the line, it became all about the almighty dollar.

If you are still in club lax at this age, your kid can play well enough to play some college lacrosse, be it D1, 2 or 3.

This year will tell if it was worth it.

So haven't been on this site in a long time. Just wanted see what was happening. Mine are done, both played in College, one D3 and one D1. Was it all worth it? 100%. I enjoyed every minute of it and now miss it terribly. Were there up and downs and times it actually stunk for both them and me? Sure. However, I wouldn't trade all the one on one time I had with them. The ability to shape them as young men and keep them out of trouble. They both have an incredible work ethic and are not afraid of life's challenges. That comes from pushing yourself against the best as a young man. Sometimes failing sometimes winning. It's not all about winning a National Championship one day, although that would be great. It's about the journey and building a productive, hard working young man. Something that is truly lacking in our society today. Enjoy the ride, think about what you're really trying to achieve. For me it was completely 'worth it"

Well put sir, I couldn't have said it better myself! Thank you!

Nothing better than watching my child play and make friends with both kids from his team as well as competing teams. What I cannot wait to end is the GREED of travel organizations. They have no shame. Makes me ill every time I pay them.

Remember one thing NO ONE put a gun to your head! You chose so dont complain we are all in the same boat !

Anywhere to follow 2022 commits starting tomorrow? Would like to see how the process goes for these young men.

Anyone see Ty's top 10 in 2022. Looks like just 1 2004 birthdate. Crazy.

Half are post-September 1, 2003, plus one 2004. I really thought we were going to see a ton of early 2003s and more than one late 2002.

60% are on age for WSYL, I assumed there were only be one or two on age.

Don't take that number as a reflection of the rest of the ranked and unranked. It is lopsided to the older boys for sure.

The top 10 is a small sample, lets see the top 100 with ages, that is a much better sample size.
