In 2017 three of the long island UA teams won the tournament, Boys Command division and the Girls Highlight and Command division. This year the boys Command division team went 3-1 in the pool play round, losing to tournament champion West Coast by 1 goal and easily beating tournament finalist Conny 10-6. It's a great tournament with awesome competition. All these tournament/select teams have politics involved but when you look at the rosters it's hard to argue that these aren't some of the best players, of course some of the other best players are left off. On the girls side the Highlight team won again and the Command team lost in the semis. I wouldn't say these teams underperform.
Sorry, but girls lax is not boys lax. LI girls have traditionally been better than the boys. The Command was not good enough to even get seeded in pool play (even with the double holbacks), bottom line. I guess your kid was on that team, which is why you are trying to make excuses. Huge disappointment there. The highlight underperforms pretty much every year....were used to that! Maybe get some unbiased evaluators and coaches who actually know how to coach and thing could be different.
