[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's good to have options where kids have to more opportunity to develop as lax players and gain experience. The "money grab" perspective is when players aren't developing despite lots of time and money invested. I'm not saying every player will be a D1/D3 prospect but basic skills and lax knowledge are lacking with these teams but it's entirely in their power to change that if they care enough[/quote]

Cav coaches are well skilled in the game and know how to teach basic skills and lax IQ the problem is that too many kids want to play travel and it is all relative.  Not every kids is going to be a D1/D3 player but Cav's were criticized for playing in tournaments that are too easy.  They stepped up and did not win as much and some kids seek greener pastures.  The kids who replace them or stay may not be as strong.  If a team does not win that does not make it a money grab.  Lacrosse stick skills are something a player should develop on their own if they love the game.  Hard to blame the coaches if kids do not have the basics.  Many of the kids should stick with NVYLL. The number of clubs>the number of skilled players.[/quote]

I don't think the coaches effectively teach basic skills and lax IQ and beyond that poor habits aren't corrected and the team stagnates - that's why kids leave. There's about 7K youth players in NVYLL - there's no lack of players to develop talent, just a lack of teams and good teams that develop kids to play good lacrosse. [/quote]
It seems you are not a fan of the coaches at Cav's but you cannot have it both ways.  Critics claim and I feel this is true, many of the top kids leave for what they perceive are better programs.  Mostly this is VLC  and one or two to Blackwolf.  If the coaches that developed them were so horrible how did those players make these teams?  Do the VLC and BW guy get to then take credit?  How does that make sense? Are you really stating there should be more teams?  Start a team, advertise a tryout, and see how many players show up?  Let me know if you still think there is enough quality players to fill these teams and be competitive at the top levels.[/quote]
