Not a very intelligent post If you don’t think most of the nassau suffolk teams are picked before tryouts I can sell you a bridge . There are some very good players that deserve to be on there that did make it. No argument there. But many are selected not on merit but who has the high school lax connections or club coach connections. Also don’t forget the legacy lacrosse towns that demand their players be represented. GC, Syosset, CSH to name a few…How do players who are injured or do not attend the tryout make the roster. Figure that out.
Who exactly is demanding anything and from whom? You’re just making silly excuses for your kid, please stop it’s embarrassing.
Anyone that believes lacrosse is a meritocracy is fool. Its all about connections and being on the inside. Whether it is the right town, club or HS you need to be inside the circle to progress through showcases, try outs and recruiting. Yes, some rare outside the circle make it in based on merit but its about connections. If your club doesnt have them dont even bother showing up. Shoot we went to one tryout for the Nike team and the registration tent was a club team.....guess what, their players all made the team. Is what it is. Make friend and advocate or dont complain because this is the way it works.
