Small Market Lacrosse Clubs

By -
 In an era dominated by lacrosse club mergers and the rise of "mega-clubs," and "hype teams", choosing to stay with a small market lacrosse club offers distinct advantages often overlooked.  These smaller long running organizations typically foster a more individualized and focused developmental environment.  Players benefit from more personalized coaching, increased one-on-one attention, and a greater sense of community within the team. Without the pressure of constantly rotating rosters or vying for attention among hundreds of players, athletes in well run smaller clubs often experience more consistent playing time and a clearer pathway for skill progression. This intimate setting can lead to stronger bonds between teammates and coaches, cultivating a more supportive and enriching experience that prioritizes genuine athletic and personal growth over sheer numbers or brand recognition.

Yes, height is genetic, however weight isn’t! You control your weight! If you are 5’5-120lbs, then you need to be 5’5-140lbs. That is in your control. You should be eating 8 to 10 times a day and living in the weight room. I understand that we can’t do anything about our height or our genetics, however if you don’t have “size” that will get you noticed, then you better be the best on the field in a few other areas. #2.
