[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting, and would love to see this be true, but it is not showing up at the U13, U11 or U9 level yet.  Breakout has done very poorly in the Bethesda league the past few years and does not even have a team that is competitive enough to be in the NYPLL at any level.  They have been at the bottom in that new Fall elite League that plays at Tilden, too.  I hope you are right, and they are working on ball skills and game skills but, in my experience with a child who played for Breakout for several sesons, the coaches they hire do not know how to teach the whole game with skills and strategies.  Heck, in the youngest age groups the coaches dont even always teach the kids the rules of the game.[/quote]

Our family is new to the lacrosse scene.  But we liked what we saw of Breakout during the recent U13 tryouts.  Does the fact that Breakout does not play at the NYPLL level mean that the boys are not privy to the summer tournaments, showcases, and other college recruitment opportunities discussed on the other thread regarding lacrosse?[/quote]

I think that is correct.  I believe that the better/more serious players gravitate toward other clubs so that they will play at the NYPLL level and have that type of exposure.[/quote]

This answer is confusing. I'm not the PP.

It is correct that Breakout does not play NYPLL. But, they do play summer tournaments, don't they?[/quote]

Breakout does not play in the NYPLL and they do not participate in the top tournaments or even very many tournaments.  The only tournaments I have seen them in are their own:  the Breakout Turnaments.  Breakout teams are just not as "involved" in lacrosse in the upper levels - its teams are truly much more on the level of rec teams than travel/elits teams.  I says this as a parent who has had children play for Breakout, Bethesda and Next Level.  I do think Breakout is a great program for a child who wants more than rec but isnt quite at the level of a travel team.  It owns that niche.[/quote]
