[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think Hammers starts until 4th grade.  In Loudoun, Cavs seems to have a strong footprint and tons of kids.  The boys we saw playing NVYLL with Cavs helmets all seemed to be strong players.

The "just play rec" crowd is always interesting on here...if someone is asking to play club, why discourage them?  It's not your money or your kid.  The coaching in Rec varies greatly, we have seen some outstanding coaches and some who shouldn't be allowed to "Teach" lacrosse to anyone.  I would say with club, on average, the coaching will be stronger.  [/quote]

Coaching in club lacrosse also varies greatly, especially at the younger ages. My experience was that before 6th grade, there wasn't much to choose. Club coaching is about as likely to be "daddy ball" as rec coaching. There is really no great benefit to club before 6th grade. Certainly not a benefit that's worth the additional money that club will cost.

If the OP is interested in Hammers because they are convenient, and doesn't mind paying $1,500, then that's fine. But Hammers are basically a glorified rec team with a nice facility. Their coaching is not significantly better than rec coaching.[/quote]
