[quote=Anonymous]The only purpose of high level club lacrosse at the high school level is for college recruiting.  Get your son or daughter on the best team possible where they can get playing time at the best tournaments possible taking into account "guest" players, it is really that simple.  For some kids that is a AA team, for others it is a B team, just depends on the player and their skill/talent level.  For some it may mean switching teams or playing on a couple of teams.  The clubs have no loyalty to their players/families so I am not sure why players/families should in any way show the same, no one is under contract here.

Many kids will play on multiple teams to get exposure, play with better teams, etc.  Many kids from states/cities that do not have as strong a lacrosse culture or player/team base will travel and play on teams in the area to get that high level exposure.  Love it or hate that is the system and not so sure why there is anything wrong with that as it is not some hidden secret.  High school club is not about trophies or t-shirts, it is about winning enough to play with the best at the best tournaments which leads to more recruiting exposure.  Does this stink for some kids who may see less playing time when these kids come in to play, yes, but at the end of the day I have seen very few, if any, situations where a lower skill player is getting more time than a higher skill player.

For most kids their high school team is where memories are made, club is either for fun (doesn't matter what level you play then) or recruiting (play as much as you can with the best, at the best based on your skill level).  [/quote]
