Great post. You just summed up what lacrosse has turned into and it's ugly. The programs that Keeps cost down Practice at a reasonable rate- not 2x every week of the year Plays to win- but not at all costs Plays the entire roster in tournaments. Values respect for the game- and it's opponents Teaches the game - not just send the 2 top kids go to the goal Meet the age requirement - don't CHEAT Has classy parents that understand the big picture Does not recruit kids off other teams at tournaments
These team Are blasted by BOTC parents for not being an A program Who cares about being the best 2020 or name grad year. Only a small minded Adult would get any sense of pride or accomplishment from something they really had no impact on except cutting a check. The only thing a parent should check is if their kid has a smile before and after travel event.
