Great post... I agree. Some programs do get it right... FCA is pretty good at keeping perspective. There are some great lacrosse players in the FCA program - dont get me wrong. But for the good to middling players (my kid), he gets a chance to compete, play a great game, and prep himself for his high school team where the kids really do play for each other. But again... I agree with your post. [/quote]

I should look into FCA for my younger son. Just need something else for him after watching this circus for my older one. Does FCA do multiple teams in case my younger boy is not strong enough to make the main team as an average player? At the young ages it makes no sense to cut off the kids who are not the top 8 or 9 year olds. I get that for older ages doing one team is neeed. Do more teams for the little guys.
