[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting back to topic.  How do parents look themselves in the mirror paying money to this guy and having their son play for him?[/quote]

Very easily, having sons who have played for multiple clubs in the area we have no issues with ML.  We have seen/experienced good and bad at all of the clubs.

Advice part I:  To anyone coming to this board for "information", take everything written here with a grain (or a whole dash) of salt.  The amount of outright false information is amazing. 
Advice part II:  Seek the advice of an actual human being that you know and trust, not an anonymous post on a website.  You cannot spit in this area without hitting someone who has some insight into the world of DMV lacrosse.
Advice part III:  Find the right fit for your child at the the highest level they are able to play.  Each club has its strengths and weaknesses, find what situation works best for your child. [/quote]

Basically what you are saying to your son is, "As long as the owner doesn't threaten us, we'll continue to have you play for him and pay him."  If it happens to others, all is good as long as it isn't you.

What moral backbone you have.  When you say you have seen good and bad elsewhere, have you ever seen another club:

1.  threaten its own players and parents

2.  continue to bring in holdbacks to existing rosters

3.  have some rosters of 30+ because they keep dangling a carrot to the B team families?[/quote]

OP here, thank god I have the moral police on this forum to set me straight.  You have no idea what I say or don't say to my sons, just because you have issues with dealing with difficult feeling or emotions and have to project is your issue.

In terms of you points:

1.  I have not personally seen or witnessed this, I am aware of the email from six years ago.  Apparently you are the one perfect person in this world and are incapable of getting over a person making a mistake.
2.  Yes, pretty much every major DMV club has been doing this.
3.  If you are incapable as an adult of seeing the size of a roster and understanding what that may mean for playing time, chance to move up, etc. then I am not sure what to tell you.  Once again, no different from what I have seen at other clubs.  Maybe the size of the team is larger but the understanding of numbers, playing time and opportunity to move up is the same.  [/quote]
