It wasn’t TC. They had their tryouts at same time and had best numbers for attendance in club history. Another solid indicator that lax continues to grow and the demand exists for more clubs. If anything, the days of one club having multiple teams is likely over. [/quote]

Clubs will have multiple teams for as long as there are parents willing to pay the fee so they can say their child plays “club” instead of “rec”. [/quote]

Definitely agree with this. If anything the market shows that it will tolerate for more programs and them all having A/B teams at least at the HS level.

But several clubs below the HS level still work in conjunction with the Rec programs, not trying to replace them (unlike another club or two). I don't think everyone is avoiding Rec.

Some kids at the HS level want to play more than on their HS team and have no delusions about playing in college, which is great. Ideally it wouldn't cost a couple thousand dollars to do that.[/quote]

Too many rec lacrosse programs are seeing numbers plummet because of grade school club lacrosse, which is completely unnecessary and more importantly is killing the growth of the sport where it’s needed most - inner cities. It’s the opposite of what needs to happen for lacrosse to make the jump to being a major sport. This is true in many sports of course and it is what’s driving single sport athletes, another short sighted craze.  If the drive to the game for your third grader is longer than the game - regardless of the sport - then you’re part of the problem [/quote]
