It's actual not wins and losses, which in 4th grade lacrosse don't matter at all. It is about basically all the other things, from learning from a coach, building relationships with teammates, and over coming obstacles. You ask how I know the kids aren't developing their skills, check out their scores, closest was game 2 of the season, also the highest score of the season. Lost games by an average of 18 goals. My contention is the boys would have developed more, enjoyed it more, and learned all the non-lacrosse valuable lessons more with more competitive games.
Playing on bad teams is part of life, but the choice of the club director is equivalent of Holy Cross and St Johns filling their out of conference schedules with only ACC and BIG10 teams.
But who really cares? There are a number of teams that are run and operate differently. It’s simple enough. If kids/parents don’t like the product or results, they will and can leave.
