Agree 100%, travel to MD to play one of our sister teams and pay the $2000 entrance fee? Parents get all riled up on the sidelines and then are asked to play nice with each other when they move some girls together the following year at tryouts. They should never play each other at tournaments unless in the finals
We traveled to Denver to play our own teams-wouldn't trade that experience for the world!
But most of the real clubs (MD and Va teams) weren't there. So essentially yu guys are Long Island Champs.
Show up or shut up. This tournament is run by the governing body of lacrosse nationally. Why not participate? If you do not show, your opinion is without merit. Come play and let the score do the talking otherwise it just rings hollow. This tourney is also age based and not grad. year so perhaps that is the real reason those teams stay away. It cannot be money or the travel, these programs have/do both for other events. It also supports growing the game around the country which is the best reason to go and support the cause.
