Would clubs benefit from starting practice in March rather than stepping aside to rec leagues and not starting practice until April or May in some cases?
As a former college and pro lacrosse player, I sincerely hope PA doesn’t lose the rec leagues. The best thing about lax in our area is boys playing with their local friends every spring. Who cares if your club team goes 3-2 instead of 2-3 at NAL or NLF? My best memories of youth lax are at the club level and I hope my boys get to have the same.
