That's ridiculous. They better be getting all new equipment and a stick with that along with the training.

only the A teams are that much but they come with winter training and the spring season The 9d1 A team is reported to be 2,900. With the spring season and winter training as well. Seems like a bargain. I'd like to see what each side is offering side by side. On the training side they are evenly split though.

is that $3800 for the 2026 team? that is absurd if true. what can they be doing that would warrant that tuition. the kids in the recruiting age aren't paying that amount.
this is totally getting out of control

this is totally getting out of control Sure is for 2026. Confirmed with a friend that did the tryout. Like the person earlier commented, it better include new equipment and a stick. LOL

that is ABSURD, things need to change and I hope people realize they don't need to be paying this kind of money for any kid no matter how old.
I have been apart of travel lacrosse since 2008 and the costs were around $500 and now they have increased to over $3000. Unless a scholarship is part of the tuition I would not do it.

Lots of quality clubs out there that offer as good or nearly as good options for much less $$$ than the big programs, yet people are attracted to "shiny things" . . .!

Yes, but back in 2008 it was probably true that a travel lacrosse program just had some late spring practices, and a handful of summer tournaments. Now, the programs that are charging 3K and up are offering year round programing. If you break it down into its component parts, the costs may seem reasonable.

Igloo A...5 coaches with 5 sons... Disaster waiting to happen. who are the coaches? I though it was Cromwell & Barone for this group Keith Cromwell Tony Barone Adam Waxer J. Accardo Jeff Butte. Great coaches, but yes all 5 have kids on team. Additionally a nephew of a coach and a cousin of the igloo owner. Team is solid though. Thx dad, or uncle or cousin

I hate to break it to you but .most programs are charging extra for winter practices. For a 4th grader there is no reason you have to spend 3k.remember you still have 6 more years of travel and with travel expenses you are looking at 30k. And then add individual and optional team trainings

Express Haugen looked great last weekend. No, not a parent with a son on the team. I was told that it was their first tournament as a team. If so, very impressing.

Is there really A and B programs at 9yo? My son is 5 and I am looking for a program.
What does Dad Ball mean?
I actually saw the Igloo team on Saturday move the ball better than some 6th grade teams.
It was a well coached team and the boys looked like they were having a great time.

Daddy ball is when the head coach and/or other coaches are dads of some of the players. I guess some feel those kids get more playing time because their dad is the coach. In a perfect world the coaches would be independent and have no biases.

Daddy ball can be more than just "more time" - it can be placement on a team they otherwise would not even make, as well as play in situations where they are not the best option(s), IE, extra man, man down, etc.

Nope its $2900 base then when you add in additional winter training and what not it goes to $3800. Of course you can decide not to do the extras.
