You people really complain that on a competitive travel lacrosse team that plays all kids in 95% of the games but competes to win in a championship game at a tournament that has playoffs. REALLY? You need to be honest with yourselves because your ridiculous and you know it.
Correct, play to win in championship format tournaments. Very few championship formats in recruiting year classes, mostly showcases. Showcases, balanced play time. Don't like it, go to a club where your kid is an alpha dog.
Not even open for debate. OF COURSE you play to win in the championship game (and in this case a 20 minute game) I also agree that MOST of the games "9 out of 10" they play even time. Are we really even discussing this?
Your a complete tool bag, coming from a parent of a YJ D1 recruit. Not a single college coach from D1 to D3 cares who the [lacrosse] won a tournament let alone a fall tournament. Your a moron its about exposure as they get older. All should have played it didn't have to be equal playing time but all should have played.
You sound like an idiot when you say father of a D1 recruit, again can really see both sides of the issue especially in a 20 minute running time playoff game. To say they don't care who wins a tournament is not exactly true, they will watch the very top teams earlier and more often than the lesser teams so winning does matter.My guess is you do not have a D1 kid as this sounds too personal to you and if you had a d1 recruit you would realize its no big deal and would stop posting that.
You obviously have no Idea what your talking about, I am also a father of a D! recruit from a different club and I can tell all you parents that think if you don't play for Y.J. you have no chance of getting your daughter to the next level, your completely wrong. Not one college coach cares who won any tournament ever. If your kid is good, coaches will come to see her no matter what pinnie she puts on her back. I am the father that keeps preaching on this site about the virtue of camps over tournament ball anyway. Club teams are only a piece of the puzzle that is equal to, but not greater than attending college summer camps. stay realistic and know where your kid should play, not everyone goes to U.N.C. , Monmouth is a good school too, keep your options open. Forget about Y.J. jones or Curico, if your kid will get more time at Liberty or Wave than go play there and be on the field.
