Most of the coaches and evaluators at events like the IL ID and others do very little evaluation.  As PP has said, seems to be a clique of events all hanging out together and targeting a very small pool of players.  The fomo around doing all of these showcase events with doing pre training like trainings, multiple best in class events, american select, all seem to be more and more money grabs and biased.  Lots of great players out there not being considered or seen and the game isn't growing. [/quote]

The game is growing in the sense that it's geographical footprint is growing, but it's still the same model - just for wealthy families in Florida, the midwest and on the west coast. Lacrosse continues to get more and more exclusive (see the "Lax is broken" thread).[/quote]

I agree that this is problematic. Would be great for the sport to bring a broader swath of athletes in. I have raised this as a collective responsibility on DCUM pages before and recommended club outreach and scholarships and was virtually shouted down by elitists who benefit from the status quo.
