No legitimate club is employing dads to coach kids.


Almost all clubs have Dads coaching in some capacity on some teams. Even HS and Colleges have some! Many of the better players come from former good lacrosse playing Dads.
Like someone said above. Every situation is different. There are some good experiences with Dad coaches and some bad ones.
