[quote=Anonymous]All these parents talking about which club is the "best" at the 2023 level is really comical to me. The best player in 8th grade is [b]rarely[/b] the best player in their senior year of high school. Kids develop and catch up in size/skill eventually.

Shelling out $3000 for team fees + $500 for tryout prep/tryouts..... What are you paying for??

Here's a secret they don't want you to know: You can just go to camps and prospect days. Might even get a better end result for a fraction of the time and cost! I know several top tier D1 players who never played club in their life.

Most parents seem to like bragging that their kid plays for a "Premier" 8th grade team. Not to mention the dads who use their kids to leverage their way into coaching club ball. The whole thing is a disaster, and it's spilling over into a lot of these private schools.

Any good private school coach is experienced in navigating the recruiting process (in some cases more experienced than a lot of these club directors), and has their players on a stickwork/lifting regimen in the off-season. Your kid actually has to put in the time at home to get anywhere, no club will ever provide the hours of repetition necessary to be a great player.

What ever happened to playing rec lacrosse and multiple sports? Worked pretty well for PAUL RABIL

I think club is a great resource for players who are serious about getting recruited and have realistic expectations, but just like everything cool.. parents ruin it when they get overly involved. If you want to be involved in your kid's lacrosse career give them the tools to practice, encourage them to get outside and play, keep on them about e-mailing college coaches... I can guarantee that is a more productive use of your time.

For those of you who just got triggered.... Keep drinking the kool-aid, I'm sure these club directors appreciate you paying their mortgages
