There is becoming a real divergence in the talent level of the clubs. The better talent is migrate to a few select clubs and there is a drop off in talent beyond. The AA brackets are getting smaller and the A brackets are getting larger. Keep in mind these boys are 13/14 and the size and skill changes rapidly from year to year...It does seem that the boys focused on working on skills year round benefit early..hopefully they are participating in other sports outside lacrosse along the way |
