[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why are parents unhappy in 5 age groups? also when players were invited join are they told blue or red team or only after payment is made?[/quote]

When NL has tryouts you are offered a blue spot or a red spot and you know that before you pay anything.  There isn’t much, if any, movement between the teams.  To my knowledge NL doesn’t dangle possible promotions to blue like Madlax does with its Capital and DMV teams.  The teams don’t practice together and are completely separate things with different tournaments, coaches, etc.

In terms of unhappy, all lacrosse teams are unhappy once you get around middle school unless you are dominant and have a small enough roster that everyone gets decent playing time.  Even then, the pressure to constantly recruit to stay on top and the influx of holdbacks for any top team in eighth and ninth grade spoil any chance of having a fun experience.  It’s just the nature of the club lacrosse beast.  Mitchells are good guys and I think try hard to please team members, but club lacrosse just isn’t very fun once you get to middle school for any team that play at the higher levels.  That’s why so many people leave all these programs once it becomes clear their kid isn’t going to play DI.  It’s very different from the younger team experience where most kids and parents still enjoy lacrosse.[/quote]
