what is the normal process for these conversations? is it through the coach? serious question, just wondering how it goes down

a coach from the staff will reach out to your club and/or high school coach. They will either tell him they are going to keep looking at your boy but are interested, and want to learn a little more about him, or they may give the club/HS coach their phone number and ask your son to call him and talk about the potential of being a student athlete at the respective school. After some conversations,they may set up an unofficial visit. it usually doesn't progress to official visits by the pure definition of the term with lacrosse recruits but you may be asked to stay overnight. we let our son do the talking unless it was logistical stuff like visits, timing, etc. In our experience the coaches wanted to talk to the recruit and not so much the parents, but you have every right to ask to speak to him. My recommendation, have your boy text before the call to "set up the time". But don't get frustrated if it takes days for them to answer (assuming its a 2019). good luck

Heard there was a full blown parent brawl at the IL Invitational between the Annapolis Hawks and the 90 One 2019s? Any truth to this?

Spoken by the parent/s of players who are are not the ones making the cut. As for the poster who turned down: Blackcard,JR,UA, Showtime I say you are not truthful.

Even 91 & Express top commits in 2019 & 2018 are going to one of the aforementioned.

Enjoy your family this summer and I will enjoy mine.

Best of luck to your son. My son loves this game and is playing and having fun.

Doubt it. They are at Naptown. Not IL

Naptown is terrible because it's midweek, who holds a midweek tournament? Huge scheduling gaps, locations spread over wide area. Instead of making it easy on college coaches, they make it very hard for them to see multiple games/kids. If you think fields are okay, try Kent Island. Promise of tv didn't turn out to well either, did it Genius?
Oh yeah, and then the fight WITH THE HOST TEAM PARENTS!
They forgot who the customer is.
Strong Island wont be back

I got to see a real display of class today. At the Warrior LI Classic. A Long Beach player was talking trash all game, and there was back and forth between parents on both teams and the refs. The loudmouth defenseman was sent off the field and his classy father ran onto the field in an attempt to get the ref. As he was held back by other parents, he fought to get at the ref. Lots of class all around Nassau's finest had to make an appearance. Stay classy folks

Heard about this, what an embarrassment and how crazy that refs have to worry about being attacked because parents don't teach their kids to keep their mouths shut especially when adults (refs) tell them to. No matter who is right it's called respect, lets teach our kids that....seems to be lacking these days, a lot of these kids aren't afraid of any kind of authority. Obviously you can see what is being taught in that house when you see how the dad took matters into his own hands. And what a waste of time for the police department to have to get involved in such nonsense.... too bad the kid and dad didn't do an overnight in lock up to teach them a lesson on what a silly situation the whole thing was and how they escalated the entire thing lol

By the time the cops arrived, Dad had already taken his kid and high tailed it back to LB. Leaving the team behind to play another game. You don't have to wonder how the kid got the way he is.

how is the Brine games going for LI. they have a 1pm must win or else they are out of the brackets

How about FCA? U15 US Lacrosse National Champions!

They went 2-2 and are out of bracket play. Virginia and Connecticut went 4-0 in pool play. Virginia plays Pennsylvania, Connecticut plays Illinois in the first round tomorrow.

sounds like both of the 2019 teams from last year fared better than this one team? the brine tryout evaluators screwed this up so bad.

Does anyone have first hand feedback from the Warrior Prospect Event?
How many coaches were there?
What schools were represented?
Were the teams balanced?

Compared to UA, Jake Reed, Platnium Cup was it on that level?

I already read that the HS Boys team for LI won the Brine event. I do not know any of the players who were selected, so I have no one to ask.

Several of our son's friends were selected to the Brine all star team, they said there were more college coaches at that game then some of their games at Jake Reed.

How about FCA? U15 US Lacrosse National Champions!

LMAO, you mean the FCA team with one or two kids that actually play for FCA on it? Did the same thing last year, loaded up on commits from all over the country and won it against a diluted field. Relax dad its not a real National championship.......
