[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's weird that lacrosse is growing nationally but it does feel like it's contracting locally.[/quote]
The local rec leagues like the one in NoVa are the feeders to the club programs. They suffered a big setback during COVID. I suspect that is playing a big part in the 28-32 age groups who missed a year of it. And I’m hearing the rec leagues are not what they were up till just prior to COVID. Those championship games in the AAA level of NVYLL were pretty much 100% kids from the Elite programs in the DMV. Great competition. [/quote]

The clubs all started playing in the HOCO league and many of the better players stopped playing NVYLL or those that did only showed up for games.  The end result is that the clubs are not developing players and NVYLL used to do that.  The rec team also brought more athletic kids to the game.  COVID was a part of this but I think club lacrosse is the culprit.  Paying $3500 per year vs $350 per year and not getting the same level of coaching and this is the result.  Less kids equals less competition and less development.  You hear club coaches tell kids not to play rec.  Don't bite the hand.....[/quote]
