So, the question is: do they develop or do they steal/recruit kids from other programs?
I think the coaching draws kids to the 27s, 26s and 25s. Not stealing. But in reality development is not in club lacrosse or township lacrosse any more. It is what you do outside. Do you have a trainer? Do you do 1 on 1s with someone weekly? Alot of the development unfortunately is coming that way. Then you hope you have a coach that instills team ball going into high school. A coach that will advocate for all the players who want to go to the next level. Success brings players to your team. Hard to steal/recruit when rosters are closed unless someone leaves.
