I disagree with the statement they are fools if they sign onto 2nd and 3rd teams. Whats important here ? If the kid really wants to play and the parents are willing to pay then do it.
If a lacrosse program is willing to form a 2nd and / or 3rd team so more kids get the opportunity to play--- I think that's good.
Yea many will say it's a money grab-- OK but more kids are given the chance to play also. Just a B player parents view.
