[quote=Anonymous]3d has the best business model right now. Not the best high school teams per se, but a good model that works. The problem was the Loudon location for practices just deflated people from other areas but it sounds like they fixed that.

Our youngest son plays for a 3d 2019 team, and after speaking to some dads from the older classes I don't hear any horror stories. At $1800 twice a year it is expensive, but that is not a knock on the 3d coaches. Spencer Ford ad Steven Brooks have more lacrosse credibility than Cabell Maddox, Ryan McClernan and Trig combined. Both are college and MLL legends. They are also flexible with families. There are PVI kids who come over and guest play for a tournament or two and then ask Spencer and Steven to help them with recruiting. Crabs kids guest play all the time on the 3d HS teams also for the same reasons. I've heard nothing but positives about how Spencer and Steven guided kids through the process for none of the credit to 3d for "getting them committed".

They also have a philosophy that is refreshing to hear when they spoke to our son who is going into the recruiting years. They told my son that right now he should not be doing videos and going to prospect days and should spend his time, and our family should spend our lacrosse budget, on training and development. Then as a soph or junior there will be good fits for him at a strong D3 academic school or possibly a Patriot League team depending on his development. They were also honest to say they can't place him -- the college coaches respect them because they refer a fit not force a fit. The recruiting works out for kids the colleges want and the 3d guys help guide that without a lot of drama to take credit for it. I think it is a good club. [/quote]
