Thank you for a full, well put together thought without the Yankee/baseball stuff. but the question remains. With the apparent lack of goalies, is it cheating to, in mid season, add a goalie of the same age to your roster, or are you so confident that it will never happen to your kid that your willing to say that no matter how hard a group of kids work, that the team as a whole should suffer for a situation that is basically beyond anyones control. I am sure every team would like to carry 28 kids and 2 or 3 goalies, but the truth is that kids want to play with there friends and if little johnny is playing for express that little jimmy wants to also. This isn't soccer or baseball where there are millions of kids to chose from, it's lacrosse, a very small community. We need to address this issue civilly. If you want to stay with the "I have mine" attitude, and not be fair to all the kids,not just yours, then maybe soccer or baseball is the game for you
ithink we may have found some common ground! i have no problem with a player the same age playing as a guest on a team, it's done in soccer tournaments all the time, i just don't want my sixth grader playing your sixth grader and your eigth grader and/or his friends filling in for a missing goalie or or anyone else. i've already been to too manmy tournaments wherer a real good player or three dominate a game and then we see them playing on another field with kids two years older, our coach was actually told by another coach after a tournament that he needed a few extra players so an older sibling and couple of friends played - we lost 9-6, 8 gaols were scored by that group of players
