[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why all the negativity about Capital Clinics and HB? As many prior posters have noted, they weren't mandatory to make the club. The parents created that perception and the associated stress.

As an entrepreneur, who has met and worked with a number of outstanding young women entrepreneurs in this area, I have nothing but respect for Capital and HB owner running and growing her business. Using a strong, monopoly-like position for scarce services is just smart, not nefarious.  There was no price gouging, they made it clear that players didn't have to come to each clinic, etc.

The same kind of voltage was sent the Pride owner's way when she sought to diversify and grow her business, or when local rec tournaments in the Fall/Winter tried to increase their revenue.  People have to direct their time and attention to economically-beneficial activity; these lacrosse-related businesses are not NGO's or public utilities that exist for our benefit.  We need to support them. It's not like Robinson Sports/3Step/M&D/Hero's are mom and pops doing business the same way they did 15 years ago. Recommend you let it go. Change is hard, but it can also be described as progress.

Also, for what it's worth, my DD felt that the clinic drills, and combine practice were good prep for tryout drills and combine runs. One tends to be better at something they have tried before. Evaluators rated the players on each station. So the clinics were relevant for performance, not some threshold entrance fee.[/quote]

My experience is that business decisions in Pride aren't well thought out (like if I expand to HS teams, will I have enough coaches two have two teams from 3rd grade to 11th as an example). On the other hand, I think GJ is very methodical. Even when I disagree - it's still reasonable and understandable. KM is a hot mess. Charismatic but all over the place organizationally.
