[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is on one of the DCE HS teams and his experience has been great, but he didn’t join until 9th grade.   Obviously there is a systemic problem with the younger BLC teams.   
Based on this thread, it looks like those problems stem from parent coaching.  Hopefully they are smart enough to fix that.  [/quote]

Is there really though?  It seems like there just isn’t too much demand in this area for club level lax.  NL, ML and BLC don’t even have B teams in several years.  It seems like there is enough demand for about 5 club teams per year.  I don’t know why, but it seems like kids are gravitating to other club sports like soccer and basketball.  My guess is that the earlier and earlier club sports have led kids to pick one sport at a younger age, and that has hurt lax around here.  [/quote]

One of the big things hurting high school lacrosse right now is the difference in training between public and private schools. Most public programs just don’t train as much or as consistently as the private ones. That’s why you see so many travel players switching to private schools once they hit high school and they want that year-round coaching and higher level of competition to keep improving.

Which I find interesting, because we were always told colleges look for multi-sport athletes...[/quote]
