Technically, the Spring is PAL season and we try to give that priority. Especially games. Our travel coach is good with that. The PAL coach is a [lacrosse] about everything and to everyone but we give the team deference regardless.

One thing I think is important about PAL is it is a development program. My kid plays every position in PAL but on travel has an assigned position. Variety and mixing it up is important in my opinion, especially with kids, which is another reason I try to prioritize PAL. Just my 2 cents. Still, the travel team is a much better learning environment overall.
