What happened to Long Beach? They used to be competitive back in the day.
The previous (not current one) youth director had way too much influence on the HS program. They kept all their players from playing on top clubs they had every one stay with the town team They called it TOC ( town over club) The former youth director and his eldest son ran the summer program. Stunted the program's growth. They should turn it around in couple of years.
Most if not all the top kids from each grade leave to play at private school! Can't weather the storm! The old varsity coach was able to retain and keep all if not most of those kids from leaving. That was when the previous youth director was running the show.
Has nothing to do with lacrosse and everything to do with how bad LB schools have become.
Don’t think so. Definitely had to do with the youth director. Old coach didn’t tolerate him. The new coach bent over for him. Had way too much say in the program. He ran the summer team. Eventually most of kids left his summer program.
Long Beach schools have actually gotten better over the last 10 years with the IB program and other programs.
Okay, well if you have a kid in LB then you’re right, if not, it’s the absolutely abysmal schools. Not lacrosse, just really bad schools. Get it yet.
