[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does NL even really tout themselves as a club in which their players go on to play college lacrosse? If they don't, then why are people knocking on them?

They serve the market of girls who still want to play club lacrosse but have no dreams/aspirations of playing college lacrosse. They don't need to play in the premier tournaments.

As long as that is understood by everyone, let them be.[/quote]

I think what bothers alot of folks is the massive chasm between the boys and girls teams.   The boys club plays in the best tourneys in the country and routinely sends kids to the best colleges in the country.

As for the girls, they don't really have HS team for recruitable players yet, but they clearly have much lower aspirations.   I can name multiple top boys players at NL who have sisters who play at top area girls clubs.[/quote]

Just go to the Next Level website, boys full roster with numbers names positions, girls, still has tryout info from June.

I can't think of one program that has both boys and girls teams where the girls team is competitive.

Isn't the issue that it takes time to develop a program?  MadLax, for example, has a relatively recent girls program.  They have recruiting pages, etc.  But, not a lot of track record yet.  I'd take a new program alongside a developed boys' program over a new stand-alone program.  [/quote]

To be a great program, you have to take the kids that would normally go to top tier established clubs, and that is just really hard to breakthrough.

Even solid clubs lose their top players to the top clubs every offseason.[/quote]
