Notwithstanding the appetite of the clubs to actually set this up, many of the club coaches are coaching high school during the spring, while others are college players, so staffing may be an issue.[/quote]
Fair point. Hawks, Crabs, Madlax, Next Level, FCA, etc have all figured out the model though. Not sure if they use fewer HS coaches and college players. Maybe they use more daddy coaches? Either way, there's too much money for the clubs to not explore this. HS and colleges are off on Sundays typically so it's not impossible if there's enough money to make it worthwhile.
Elite players in Summit, Westfield, Ridgewood, etc get better playing rec because they are playing with other elite players and typically have some good coaches.
Elite players not in those blue blood lax towns do not get better playing rec. They have fun with their buddies in rec, but the better coaching, better teammates, and better comp in club is where development accelerates.
Soccer went to this model a long time ago. You're seeing it in baseball now - elite kids play on a club team in the spring instead of rec. It will happen in lax before long. |
