PT2019 goalie going to Air Force

I think PT 2019 has 2 which if my math is right is 1 more than Express North 2019, inept management for Express or a difference of 1.

When do tryouts begin for most Varsity programs? I see many teams have scrimmages in 2 or 3 weeks, I would think the teams need to be chosen well before those games.

I don't think coaches can officially do anything until after March 7th when the season officially starts. That doesn't mean they don't have a good idea from last year and winter practices who will be on varsity. I would imagine some of the deeper teams may use scrimmages to determine who is on varsity. Looking forward to a good season! Its getting closer!

Each year Westchester lacrosse takes another step towards parity like on LI where 6-7 teams have a legitimate chance to win the section. I think this year we will see more teams than ever competing for the title. Its great for the game.

Favorites in each section title:
A; Mamo, Fox and Pac
B; Town and maybe JJ
C; Bville or Pville
.
7 or 8 teams competing for 3 section titles; not much parity really but next level is getting more talent; Rye & Pelham in B, Briarcliff in C, and maybe White Plains & North Rockland in A.

Agree

But we have heard that tune before. JJ Gotta go out and prove it!

We've also heard the tune "Yorktown will have a down year" But they have the best youth program in the area and they reload without missing a beat. A few years a go they lost to Nisky with a team full of All Americans, then won the NYS title when everyone said..."Yorktown will be weak". Until someone knocks them off, Marr will keep reloading and I will give them the respect they are due. We keep hearing they will be unable to score, expect to see some youngsters step up and fill the void. I've watched them do it for 15 years. Looking forward to the JJ battle but others are in the hunt as well.

When you look for a website for Yorktown youth lacrosse, you can't really find anything. Does one exist? If you look for a CONNY town program, they are easy to find and you can see all the other towns they have played in past years, etc.

Yorktown Youth lacrosse town teams play in the Hudson Valley league with teams from Westchester that do not play in CONNY and they also play town teams from Putnam and Dutchess who are also in the Hudson Valley league.

I am hearing but do not know the story that Tom Palasek, MLL lizards attackman had a falling out with Roy Colsey and no longer works at the lax academy. that is unfortunate as Tommy was great with the kids and brought a level of instruction and patience I have yet to see. I do not know Roy, but he seems super abrasive and cocky and its no wonder the Super star teams can not compete with Primetime, Express North etc... does anyone know the story?

Roy is cocky and will talk to you when he has time for you!!!

When do Varsity tryouts start in Westchester?

Isnt it a NY State rule about 3/7/16 being the first day for Public schools?

I graduated the same yr as Roy - played against him in high school and in college - was considering multiple schools but decided to go the Ivy route - I realize the recruiting landscape those days are completely different from today but agree 100% on what Roy wrote. Hard work and dedication is important - for me, the only thing I would add is passion - there comes a time that when a kid wants to get better, he has to do this on his own - can't keep having a parent push him - he has to love the game and want to get better...someone told me years ago this generally starts to happen in middle school (which is when recruiting is starting up today)...crazy that I am starting to see this with my older boy who is in 7th today...I have 4 younger boys below him
