[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is has the turnout been at the tryouts for Madlax, VLC, Express, NL and 3D?  Saw huge numbers at Express.[/quote]

VLC had big numbers at their tryouts.  We were at Express as well - they had a lot of kids, but half or more of the kids were pure rec kids who are not good enough for club.  Also a joke that they charge $95 which is 2x more than anyone else.

A buddy had his kid go to the 1st day of 3d tryouts.  Said the turnout was pitiful and they didn't go back.[/quote]

The clubs are really money makers for the club owners.  If your high school has a top lacrosse program, don't need the clubs.  Kids just need to stay in condition for spring tryouts.  Save your money or throw it away...[/quote]

Agree that clubs are real money makers for the club owners.  To make matters worse, said club owners are for the most part insufferable ass-hats.  That being said, if your kid's goal is to be recruited to play college lacrosse, the club team is a necessary evil.[/quote]

If you are a top player for an IAC program, you may be in good shape for recruitment regardless of club affiliation.  That said, Division 1 lacrosse teams play a LOT of lacrosse.  Your kid needs to really love the game and want to play a LOT.  If he/she is not begging you to play club because they really want to play, is Division 1 going to be a good fit for them?  Maybe, maybe not.  For the kids that love the game and want to play, club is a great outlet and a great testing ground, even if there are people setting it up solely for profit.  Not saying it is essential, but it is not profit-driven black hole for many who participate.
