Jersey Lax notes from lax tournament
by Patrick · 9 things on Twos
- Overall most parents thought this was a good idea that there was a need
- Moms are 🔑, moms see UVP of working with college athletes
- Some dads were pretty into it as well put more from the training side
- Having recognition via social media helped get kids excited. mom actually like that the kids saw it on Tik Tok. Seems to be a nice credibility thing as well having a high amount of followers.
- Some dads already had access to college athletes in Ridgewood New Jersey which is a very affluent lacrosse heavy town. Didn't see a need to sign up
- Still a lot of parents flake and don't sign up on the spot
- Convenience in location is important as well to parents.
- Tri-state (lax club) kids thought they were too cool for this specifically the coaches were in college and didn't want to sign up
- Events are still hard to reach hundreds of people in the hours you have it's a lot of luck and guessing who might be interested I need to actively walk around and solicit people rather than coming to you
