BOTC would like to investigate this practice as this would be potentially in violation of the Ted Stevens Amateur Sports Act of which we are sure you are aware.

Please share the names of the High School programs where this statement has been made - BOTC will immediately FOIL for the relevant information with those school districts and the situation will get straightened out faster than a New [lacrosse] minute. Now, over to you - send the information to us at cagesage@backofthecage.com.
I believe the threat is more along the lines of playing for your town team or else. In the past the conflict was minimal. Club teams have grown and are far more demanding of a players time.When faced with more frequent conflicts, the bigger clubs level of training and competition can not be matched by town teams.
