2025 is the LWSC year for this age group. The tournament is extremely expensive, starting with a required qualifying tournament (normal price for a weekend tournament $2200), followed by the national event in PA that’s anywhere from 3-5x the normal tournament fees (priced per player and coach at $495/pp in past years - roughly $10-12k per team plus travel). For the first time this event conflicts with another significant event on the lacrosse calendar, Naptown.
Our club has already made the call and we are out of the LWSC game and headed to Naptown. Any others having the same conversations with your club directors?
Doubtful anyone has that conversation as the Directors see LWSC as a huge marketing hammerhead for themselves so you need to go along to get along. You are saving yourself a lot of time and money so maybe be grateful? My son did the World Series and the insane number of extra practices and trainings $$$$ and pressure leading up to it made him not enjoy the entire season. It became work. Hope your son doesn’t feel like he is missing out. There are some fun moments for kids but I don’t think overall it was worth it.
