It is amazing to me that people keep saying money grab and the younger teams are a waste of time. My son's technical skills and lacrosse IQ have gone up tremendously since joining one of the younger teams. The coaching is very high level and it does prepare them for higher level lacrosse. They are not winning now, but it is better to fail doing it the right way than trying to win now the wrong way. Does it [Censored] getting punched in the teeth right now? Of course. But the kids that aren't getting it will get coached up or coached out, and the teams will build to be very competitive as they get older. Some people don't like that model, but you know what you are getting into when you join. It is not for everyone, but it is not just a money grab if you son is a good player.
