[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not run by the counties.  Silver Spring Warriors and Bethesda Lacrosse Club are non profit rec programs that have been running for many years.[/quote]

Someone's going to have to define rec for me.

BLC is very successful,  has paid employees and charges a lot of money to play in their programs. They then actively try to move good players and enthusiastic families into their more competitive club programs. They are separate but not really. I suppose the volunteer dad coaches makes them rec?

Silver Spring Warriors was started so Draley could build a program around his son. It's more like a couple of get togethers and then begging Next Level for players so they can field a team and blow out rec teams in awful SMYLA.

Talk to either Breslin and Draley and you get the same message. They want more field access for less money from the county and they want zero competition from anyone else remotely interested in growing the sport. [/quote]

You obviously don't know Draley well or appreciate the amount of time and effort that went into setting up and maintaining the SS Warriors.  Also if his son was the only reason - he could have considered a club program where they actually make money plus his son "graduated" from the program many years ago yet it continues.. so if that was his only purpose it would no longer exist.   Anyone that wants to bash someone who sets up an amazing lacrosse program where there was none really needs to look at their own priorities or consider to volunteer themselves and learn a little about it..
