[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the lacrosse pundits on this board are correct their feedback should be alarming to all lax club owners. The belief seems to be clubs have little to no impact on developing players and the strength of teams is simply luck of draw by year and location. This is not a ringing endorsement for parents to spend what amounts to $30-40K+ in lax club plus travel fees over many years of club lacrosse. And this doesn’t even take into consideration the time invested to get to practices and tournaments.

Playing with and against other good players is an important part of getting better. The club matters for a few reasons none of which are related to development - a drill is a drill is a drill - what matters is culture and reputation. Club choice matters starting in middle school but much more so in hs because: 1) clubs that win get noticed. 2) clubs that get noticed get the better players and the better coaches. 3) club coaches and owners/directors set expectations for behavior at practice (focus and drive, no goofing off, respect for coaches…) and personal time (practice on your own every day). 4) coaches set team behavior - me ball v team play. 5 college coaches notice all of the above.

That’s it in a quick summary. All the developmental talk is mostly bs. Drills, speed and agility, small side play and scrimmages are almost all identical because most coaches played in same small world do know same stuff plus add in YouTube and easy availability to find instruction. [/quote]
