[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not quite sure how to make it better.  I'd love for my boys to stay in rec leagues but it's just not competitive enough for them.  The problem also is the year around commitment.  I know it's to help line the pockets of the club owners but if you aren't a parent of it, you really do feel left out.

Capitalism is a beautiful thing. Go to a club that doesn’t monopolize their time. You are the consumer!

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

I agree that a lot of this spending is over the top. Especially when you include travel costs on top of team fees. However, I think you are discounting how important it is for some, not all, of these players to compete with their friends. My son has a better chance of playing college football than lax. He and his club lacrosse teammates are all at different schools now, but they have grown up playing together and they have a ton of fun at the tourney's. Personally, that alone is worth the money. The boys also love their coach, a former D1 player, not a Dad.[/quote]

Do those kids a favor a put them on a rec basketball team together. they become better athletes and don’t get burned out of lacrosse. And if the rec lacrosse leagues aren’t good enough competition make them play using only their off hand. There’s ways to adjust [/quote]
