Can someone calmly explain to me what exactly makes a lacrosse parent so crazy? We are fairly new to this world my stepson just made what is arguably "the best" team for his age and I will not dare cite the team- and he had a great time- I only went to one tournament as I started a new job so cannot really say one way or another. But all f these conversations really pique my interest I am so curious as to what makes them so different from any sports parent?

I, too, have been involved in both, though my kids are older. I find the rabid parents in travel soccer to be truly laughable, as there is no real "payoff" for 99 percent of the kids. If your end goal is to play HS varsity soccer I suppose, although many of the clubs in town prevent their kids from doing even that. Otherwise, the odds of playing at the college level, not to mention the Olympic and pro levels, are slim to none.

At least the lax parents have a fighting chance that their phenoms will get a chance at getting recruited to play by colleges. Of course even after getting the brass ring, don't count on any substantial scholarship money, and be prepared for your little snowflakes to be riding the bench for his college career.

$3600 for fall, spring and summer and you have to have your credit card charged a quarterly fee. Both Performance and Madlax are way overpriced.

Performance's owners have played in the MLL, but they simply don't have the talent yet to be competitive.

It's $3800 to play 1 yeAr on their travel team.

Why so down on Performance? I thought the owners were professional MLL players?

It's all relative. Yes, there were several Performance kids who tried out for Madlax, but none of them made the top Madlax team. None of those Performance kids were very good to begin with.

Instead, they will play for a Madlax MD team, all of which are pretty bad. Those Madlax MD teams will get pounded in NPYLL A play.

Did Blackwolf lose any kids to Madlax or VLC this year?

Madlax MD is like the Borg. They just grabbed and assimilated the small handful of talented boys from Performance. I hope Performance can regroup. It is sad.

1. High-def refers to video, not a microphone, you idiot; and

2. Cad? Really?

A hi def microphone is one that has a pre-amplifier and a compressor. But you wouldn't know that or look it up because you're a lacrosse dad whose motherboard only lights up for fried cheese or looking up youth rosters.

And yes, really.

LOL. Might want to work on that Google search thing.
