While some of the posts are repetitive some are good for people to hear. I’m assuming parents of younger players are reading these posts and they need to know what they are getting into with club lacrosse. The pp is absolutely right. Club will help you with overall lacrosse IQ and the more competitive the club the more you will work on those things at a high level. Club lacrosse will not help you with fundamentals like ground balls passing and catching.

I tend to disagree- you can not exclusively rely on club lacrosse for basic lax skills- but club lax (particularly if you also do rec lax) will definitely make your throwing, catching a ground balls better. I saw it on all of the rec teams I coached. The extra reps, the travel, kids got plus the higher level of competition really improve their basic skills

As a parent who has a kid who hits the wall each day for at least 15 min soild at a minimum and then practices his shooting corners on the net for another 15 min, to the point where we have to have flood lights in the backyard, how in the world would you assume that club or rec is what is helping him get better?

I’m sorry to tell you, but he puts in way more time alone than with his teams. Club and rec are for game items and team work. Good coaches know how to run the box, play the right players at the right times in the right position and know how to motivate the kids.

A whole 30 minutes of work? Holy hell, this kid will be a D1 All-American for sure!

Lolol! Well he isn’t an all American but he is committed to a D1 program.

Well that’s the coaches last name, his is Asian you ingnoramus.

Secondly your kid is in the B bracket so I wouldn’t be talking.

Please, enough. Stop posting until you have something worthwhile to say. Now we are making fun of coaches’ names?

Three things 1) Poon is a good coach; 2) he’s a great guy; 3) He is fully aware of the situation regarding the team name
Which makes the whole thing even funnier.

Why do you keep telling people to stop posting? Just stop reading it or read it with a grain of salt. It’s not that serious.

No but the surname comment was racist and ignorant. So I’d go further than the guy afflicted with civility and call for it to be deleted. What a moronic comment on a board full of ‘em.

Way for white people to fall directly into white people stereotypes in a sport that already has a bad reputation.

JFC what adult makes a racial comment on an ethic surname?

I don’t even have a kid on VLC and know for a fact Derek Poon is a great coach and an even better human. He’s coached my kid in rec.

Wait I thought it was wrong to tell people to stop making imbecilic comments and take it all with a grain of salt. Which is it??

Bunch of entitled parents taking their shiny lacrosse balls and finding someplace where they will be told that Jimmy can play D1 lacrosse if you pay us enough money.
