NLF is letting teams register but doubtful they will let rebels or igloo in. Too high maint and parents are annoying.
If the NLF is the be all tournament people are claiming, why would any team be shut out from registering and competing? Every team has their share of annoying parents, let’s stop already! Truth is, the big clubs with teams that were used to blowing teams out regularly are no longer able to do so because other teams haven’t gotten better and can beat them. Compete, stop being afraid!
The fact that you think this is about teams afraid to play others shows you have no clue.
Club lacrosse is a business first, foremost and always. And the NLF is in the business of cornering elite talent at the upper most grade levels. They don’t care about your one off 7th grade team that can compete right now. Their marketing schtick and “exclusiveness” creates a demand so elite players migrate to their teams at the upper grade levels to keep the college coaches coming and in turn keep the $$$ rolling in.
The NLF doesn’t have the same prestige as it once did, and there are other tournaments. You’re right though, it is a business first, which is why half the kids on those teams barely see the field. That must really impress those college coaches. Keep drinking the kool-aid and running to that New Balance store so you can brag about your kid. Wake up fool!
