Should the Men's 'A' and 'B' leagues merge to help grow the game?

Submitted by fewdisc on Mon, 2006-02-27 23:16. Men's Leagues

Will the two leagues join to even the caliber of Lacrosse and continue growing?

The Importance of a C league

Submitted by defensewinscham... on Sun, 2006-03-05 23:40.

The inclusion of the Men's C league into a massive Men's Club league would entirely defeat the purpose of its initial creation -- to expose lacrosse to adults and recruit them to become MUCH needed referee's!!

I don't think this is a good idea...

For the sport to grow, we should follow the rec soccer league model of creating more levels of leagues not less. With the newly formed Men's C League, there will now be 3 levels of play for mens lacrosse, giving more options for more players to play...and as they improve or get olde, they can move up and down...

I don't see how merging the leagues would "grow" the game in anyway. I guess I agree with Cone's comments, more options for players of different skill levels to play is the best model in my opinion.

I think that its a great idea to have different leagues. It will give the newer players a place to get better, but more importantly it wont bring down the level of play in the A league. I think the last thing we want is for some of the more experienced guys to start quiting because the level of play has gone down.

For the time being I think it's important to have the various levels, and I'm 100% behind the idea of the C-league, though I was skeptical at first. However, with the sport growing as fast as it is and the increased availability of talent coming into the club leagues, I think it's only a matter of time until we're seeing more parity between the A's and the B's.
Whether the leagues should merge is a question for a later date, but I'd like to see some non-league games back in the schedule at some point.

inter-league games

Submitted by fewdisc on Tue, 2006-03-07 19:51.

I know the Monkeys have been doing it still, I know a few other teams have as well.  At the very least, I think these are good fun and refreshing to play against people other than the same old nepatistic teams in the A league.  I also know there was a boycott for some time about playing A teams, although I never knew why.
