That is so mean to say...the luau/luncheon that Yj has hosted for many years is a very nice event for the parents and kids to get together, enjoy each others company and acknowledge the girls accomplishments for the past year! Also, a dynamic guest speaker too. Carol Rose very generously gives out scholarship money to her graduating players and there is a great essay contest that my daughter was a recipient of 2 years ago. There is also a great slide show of the season and the kids love seeing themselves in the photo's and what colleges the graduating seniors are heading off to.
As far as fall tourney's go....no one is putting their kids in them to "earn" spots on top teams....they are a great way to keep a stick in your daughter's hand, be with their team in the "off season" and have fun. At the high school level, several of the tourneys are recruiting tourneys....
All good things for your lax playing daughters....don't participate if you don't agree! |
