The dad coach supporters forget that it's a part time job and most of them can do other things within the club like NOT COACHING THEIR KID or teaching clinics etc. If you are paying $2-3k a year with 20 to 25 kids on the team it should work. The vast majority of skilled kids over the years leave over dad coaches vs. holdbacks. Period. Look at ML 2024 class as a recent example which has been well documented in this forum....one of the most dominant club teams ever until 9th grade....then a bunch of their best players left because of it....and these kids could go (and are /including Inside Lacrosse's #1 pick) anywhere for college. As noted above, "it's complicated, but it's usually NOT GOOD." |
