Not easy playing in SL system, each player has very limited role. Players move on to where they can develop more as a lacrosse player.
Do not believe young players benefit from a youth program that is run like a division one program. that's the way SL runs it and has been running the program like that since fourth grade
Some of his players will benefit the ones that have more of a role but a lot would be better off on a different team
But Parents are nuts they want to be on a winning team at all cost.


It's always the parents. They are so conditioned and focused on winning every game they have lost sight of what this travel lax thing is all about. It's about developing as a complete player. That will never happen to the level it should, if a kid is put in a box and limited to a specific role. Have to say, it does work for the team though.
