BBL to 6th, 7th or 8th grade is amazing with the number of practice opportunities for a player. BBL has not shown well with recruiting. I think it is getting worse. All these PLL player announcement affiliations are not helping recruiting. The National team is just a hope to keep north, west and helix players happier so maybe they stay a year longer than they would have without the national team. 99.9% of the west, north and helix players are not making black team. You have a better chance making bbl black coming from Patriot, Riot or other B teams than the BBL north, west or helix b teams. BBL has a tough job of keeping the big rec lacrosse towns near Florham Park happy for all the black team members while keeping the north, west and helix players hopeful. Will anything be any different with a national team playing 1 tournament at the high school level??
I think bbl shore can survive along with black. Shore has good coaching and probably better coaching than the black teams at this point. |
