BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys High School Lax

PLEASE, do not mention St. Anthony's OR Chaminade in the same breath or sentence as Friends Academy if the discussion is centered on academics.

Great idea... Spend $25k at Friends... $40k at at Anthony's , plus $40k pg at prep school for the slim chance of 1/4 max athletic scholarship of $60k tuition...

Why are the upstate High Schools ranked higher than us in Class A if all of our travel teams are A, compared to upstate where typically their travel teams don't preform as well as Long Island's?

They play lax year round upstate and have superior indoor box, clinics, etc. non money grab teams, etc. top kids come out better prepared by high school.

Long Island HSs are typically smaller than upstate, so yes, there is a dilution in talent available to any one school, particuallry in Nassau. The class categorization of schools in NYS is supposed to normalize this, but you are still comparing LI, a largely suburban area to one of, if not the, largest urban centers in the world, to upstate, which is largely a typical rural setting, so not sure the class thing truly normalizes the situation.

I wonder if it isn't that Long Island Parents turn their kids off of lax by being so overbearing by HS.

Actually now that I think about it... what makes sense is that the travel teams have way more talent to grab from and pool it together to make monster travel teams. However, typically you have to play HS in the district you are in which dilutes the "elite lacrosse club team".

Victor has a travel team which is also their HS team. If LI just grew the house teams to have them incorporate travel then we can compete on the Upstate NY level, is probably more accurate... but still Long Island parents are worse than getting a paper-cut in your eyeball, and I am one of them

big weekend this weekend.

What makes it a very big weekend?

I don't know but its a big weekend this weekend! Trust me, the other guy said so!!

Sunday elite event, so many great high school teams. Will be great to get an early look. Some great match ups. This used to be called the Rotanz event. Many college coaches will be in attendance as well.

Does anyone know if/where college coaches are listed so my son can email his schedule? Thanks.

Unfortunately that tournament is competing with the NLF also at Farmingdale.

With both events being held at the same venue there will be more coaches at the Fall Classic than ever before. Go watch a 2020 game between two of the top NLF teams if you want to see a bunch of college coaches.

Great Idea having both events at the same place. There will be a ton of coaches but they will be spread thin. If you are still in the recruiting process you just have to hope the coaches are watching your game.

Good luck to all.

yea ...great idea...go watch a 2020 game to look at coaches...

Any lines on how many coaches will be at the 2020's game... What's the over under on that?

No coach watch 9th graders trust me..

LOL - yeah most of the top schools class of 2020 is full

Anyone know if the Islip winter league has a schedule posted ?

Is there any information or details about this league you can post? Have a HS team looking for a winter league (Indoor or Outdoor)
