Here is the real problem with kids / parents and realistic expectations...
The truth is 70-75% of the girls on these "clubs" are not club players. The fact that the system of localized rec lacrosse has been annihilated, every kid now plays on a "club" team. And really it is unfair to both the kid and parent.
Instead of paying $150 for a rec season, now parents are dishing out 2K plus for a club team that isn't any better than a glorified rec team. Parents want to get that sticker on the back of their car showing (insert name) Lacrosse Program. But once their daughter joins said team, they think they have a pathway into becoming the next Charlotte North.
It's a shame. Because some rec programs used to be pretty good. Now, they really don't exist in the DMV. |
