Not a fan of this for kids who already play for Top 25 programs, but not sure there’s much that can be done. Red Hots makes it easy, and the a la carte format makes it relatively affordable and easy to jump in for a few tournaments per year.

Part of the appeal for Red Hots has been that it doesn’t feel like a money grab. They are adding a bunch of national training camps this year, so the greed might be on its way, but it’s all still a la carte for now, and a much more appealing financial prospect than something like Nationals Lacrosse Club, where you are committed for a year.
