"USA lacrosse never has an never will have any control or oversight over any youth lacrosse league. In the 10 years we have had to pay our kids “membership fee” the only thing we have seen from them is their lame magazine. It only exists to take your $50 a year.
The NCAA 5th year Covid policy will roll downhill to the high school classes that are impacted. Just heard an interview by a football coach last night regarding this. His take, why would he take an 18 year old out of high school versus a 22 year old who has college experience. It’s a no brainer for coaches. Because of that, kids will reclass to try and avoid the NCAA Covid years. It’s unfair all around and the NCAA extra year is a disaster."

The only Governing Body more corrupt and out of touch than USA Lacrosse is the NCAA. Our sport has been the victim of terrible leadership for decades. USA Lacrosse should not be able to demand $50 from every player, coach and official in the country without providing a single functional service. The reffing landscape is terrible right now, the rules change every year (and we have multiple sets of rules for indoor, full field, box and now Sixes). The Developmental Team tryouts were a shambles. No U19 boy we know tried out because the competition was a fall Saturday, when all of them would have been playing football for their high schools. USA Lacrosse hold a mirror up to yourself and start getting a 360 degree feedback about your leadership!
