Everyone is aware of genetics. There is nothing that can be done for the most part. But if you have your child trained properly and all GENETICS are equal the kids that put the work in and played travel will shine. You can see it at every level in lacrosse from Youth on up. Plus, the competitiveness of competing for a spot will be nothing new for the travel player. Yes people invest a lot of money to play travel lacrosse but the product is much better than the town program because its decided on skill for the most part rather than residence, so the kids will play with better talent. Are there kids that play travel that shouldn't I am sure. But some of these town programs that try to compete with travel programs will just get beat bad and don't see how that is good for anyone. Town programs should just do Medford Park leagues and leave tournaments to the travel programs which would be good for all and let the town player prepare for their fall sport.
