BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls Spring 2014 High School Varsity Lacrosse

What does the Kings Park team get for winning the sportsmanship award? They get the EI girl scoring 9 goals agaist them today.
Oh and as for Islip, the girls whose initials we can't disclose had 7 goals AND 5,count em, 5 assists as they put up 18 vs a weaker program. Goals are goals, but 5 assists...sounds like padding the scoresheet!

DELETED....Poster has been eliminated.

Sounds like sour grapes ! Watch college games, that's reality. These girls will be tnere soon enough sometimes on one end sometimes the other.

You are absolutely right - girls find other interests
And don't want to commit all there time - weekends
Summers - all year round to lax- but once they stop
That and just play in spring they will never see
Playing time on varsity - those
Spots go to the girls who play all year round are committed
To a college - I guess that is what I
Meant by disgust and politics -
Varsity lax is not for the seasonal player
Anymore and that kind of stinks

What has happened to dedication, commitment, work ethic and sacrifice?

How about athleticism, skill and an understanding of the game?

When did athletics at the varsity level become a right?

When did it become acceptable to instal a class system?

Why do some believe that younger players must wait their turn?

Why do some believe that 11th and 12th graders should be given priority treatment based on their grade?

At the very least a coach should be honest with their players. Players should have to compete everyday and they should know where they stand based upon their performance not on their grade/class.

The best coaches identify the best players.

The best teams play the best players.

The best experience for the girls will come when a coach is honest. The girls will respect their coach as well as their teammates when the coach puts politics aside and lets the girls compete for their position.

This poster is either horribly misguided or naive, Coaches will play who they are pressured to play. Ability and work ethic have nothing to do with it. There is a player right now that is a senior D1 commit, that started for, and at one time was time the position player for a very good club team. she was never cut from any team, and has more than once beaten out other, more highly touted players for a starting slot, and has lead a team to a championship game. She is sitting on the bench unable to get in because an administrator within the district has a vendetta against her an her family. Instead they play an uncommitted 11th grader, with little or no varsity experience, and use the excuse that she is a transfer from another school. The statement that coaches will play the better girls is just a lie. That or this is the worst coach on Long Island

The travel kids often don't pass or include girls that don't play club so that's why in many towns HS teams are begging girls to come back and play. Everybody wants their name in the paper and selfish play drives the fringe players away from the sport. When you are winning by 8, 9, 10 or more how about moving the ball around? Do we really need to see girls with 15 points in a blowout game?

Just because you don't play a high school sport all year round and your parents might not be able to afford the 5000+ pricetag of club lax doesn't mean you are less committed and should be penalized and not be able to make a varsity team
I wish some of these less affluent kids in certain communities could afford to play club - they would blow these rich kids out of the water

I could never mention what district this is happening in, The girl in question was threatened with expulsion from the team if, and I quote, she will be "Cut out like a cancer" if she , or her family, do anything the coach (or the administrator, or the administrators spouse) deem antagonistic. Needless to say she is very upset. Not that the coach or administrator cares.

Opinions are great, everyone can have them but it doesn't make it true!!

If the kid is a transfer they must sit for the year it is a nys athletics participation law. Nothing nefarious going on.

Can we please start talking about the games this season

The travel kids often don't pass or include girls that don't play club so that's why in many towns HS teams are begging girls to come back and play. Everybody wants their name in the paper and selfish play drives the fringe players away from the sport. When you are winning by 8, 9, 10 or more how about moving the ball around? Do we really need to see girls with 15 points in a blowout game?

If a girltransfers High Schools they have to sit out one full year? Is that correct? Is that for both public and private schools? I dont think that is accurate.

NYSPHSAA TRANSFER RULE AND ELIGIBILTIY
In accordance with the NYSPHSAA Transfer Rule, the eligibility of a high school athlete is impacted if the athlete transfers from one high school to another without a corresponding change of address of the parent. The rule state the following:
If a student transfers after attendance begins in his/her 9th grade year, from one high school to another, without a corresponding change of address of the parents, the athlete is ineligible to participate for a period of one year in any sport that he or she participated in within the last year.
This eligibility policy governs transfers between public school to public school, as well as transfers between private schools and public schools, or parochial schools and public schools. In essence, if an athlete leaves the Commack School District to attend a private or parochial school, and returns after their ninth grade year has begun, and there is no change of address of the parents, the athlete is ineligible to participate in any sport that they played in the preceding year. The rule is sport specific. A written request for appeal can be submitted to the Section XI Eligibility Committee for a student-athlete who transfers due to circumstances of undue hardship. Supporting documentation must be provided upon request.

https://www.commack.k12.ny.us/athleticdepartment/athletichandbook.pdfTaken directly from Commacks website, it is listed on nearly every school districts website if one looks hard enough.

A kid will get ONE waiver per high school career, must be filed for and approved prior to first practice.

Just because you don't play a high school sport all year round and your parents might not be able to afford the 5000+ pricetag of club lax doesn't mean you are less committed and should be penalized and not be able to make a varsity team

Really???? Well if you watched the first game you would know that the 7th graders were responsible for 7 of the 13 goals scored. They belong there.

thanks i thought so but was not sure due to the other posts listed here

But I guess we will never know the score if they weren't there and the older girls were.
