Varsity??

Freshman

what about the numbers on JV and varsity

Which team did your son make?

Made JV but we decided that he was better off with his freshmen classmates.

LMAO!!!!

Laughing because you are calling BS on declining a JV position for a 9th grader or laughing because a JV position is not worth very much?

Do they have any scrimmages set

That is a JOKE! They don't ask and you decline.
Keep telling yourself that!
Not more than 2 went up to JV.

Only one moved up to JV

Is that because of a new rule, dealing with age and dare I say Holdback. I say new because each year they have 2/3 holdbacks..

If KB, SJB or Doms got 1/4 of the quality kids that are sitting on the Chammy or St Anthonys benches I know some coaches that would be taking a few antacids before their games. It's time to change the transfer rules and have a competitive Catholic League.

What is the rule and how does changing the rule make anything competitive. The better players wont leave. As you say the " bench players " would be those changing.

If the better players would go from the start that would help. Remember that they used to say St Dom's had a shot don't snooze on KB. I'm still amazed why SJB doesn't have a quality team I keep hearing Chm and SA JV could beat them. How true would that be?

Love how GC will play St. Anthony's and Kellenberg but refuses to play Chaminade.

Anyone know how the Varsity did at their scrimmage against Smithton East?

I think 6-4 against Syossett and 3-3 against SE. Same old Chaminade. Terrible offense. Slow moving - everyone afraid to make a mistake. Takes 45 seconds to sub. The coaching is TERRIBLE. Awful lacrosse...

Because sophomores go back to Chaminade or St Anthonys thinking they will eventually crack the starting lineup. When they find out they never will, oops, even though you've never played a varsity game, they make you sit out a year if you want to transfer to another Catholic school. How many parents know that? We didn't. My son would have started at SJB and still been committed to the D-1 school he's attending.

Chaminade sucks.

Who told you they refused?

Chaminade refused to play GC, you have it backwards.

what are you talking about?

Many of the 1st and 2nd string lacrosse parents know that there is a "sit out" rule when you attend Chaminade or St. Anthony's and want to transfer after your first year. I too, dont understand their rule if you didnt play Varisty why you still have to sit out. Do the catholics have a rule, if you played on varisty and you transfer in you have to play varsity.

No! Not wrong Garden City wouldn't play Chaminade!

The rule is in place to prevent recruiting. If you transfer within your district there is no sit out rule. It is a NYS Education Department rule, not a public or catholic school rule.For example a kid who lives in Syosset but played at St. Dom's in 2016. He then transfers to Syosset and can play in 2017 for Syosset. Or a St. Anthony's player who lives in Huntington Station can play at Walt Whitman without sitting out a season.

Yes! Right, Chaminade REFUSED to play GC. I know this as a fact.

Keep telling yourself that. Would be the biggest crowd for a game on LI. Chaminade would crush GC and then all the excuses would comeout.
Wish they would play so every Chaminade kid would get playing time.

Crush is an understatement. Pulverize is more like it.

St. Anthony's would beat both of you.

Ask the Chaminade coach, then see who is telling stories. I know for a fact, Flyers said no.

GC played STA on Saturday and held their own quite nicely....

Chaminade refused to play GC, fact!! They don't want to be exposed.

If one of the teams would get crushed why would it be the biggest game on LI. Personally, I think this years WM SE game has a bigger draw. Maybe Pequa Syo. and of course your Woodstick. Come to think about it Ill probably check out the Chammy Pequa this week game before i would have went to a GC Chammy game.

Not sure many outside of GC really care about that game. From the sounds of it (and I dont know anything but what is spewed here) sounds like it means nothing to Chammy so they passed on it. Like, yeah, no big deal thanks but no thanks. I am more sorry to see the WI Chammy games gone, outside of last year, those were some great games. Although WI lost the last few meetings, i think that game helped WI right the ship for their season. Not sure WI will get that from the northport or Daler games.

No, Chaminade did not want to play GC, that is a fact. The original poster knows it too, hence posting the other nonsense about GC not wanting to play Chammy. Nice try, can't alter facts.

GC doesn't want to play Chaminade because they dont want to do anything to draw attention to Chaminade or create a legitimate rivalry. Each year they lose several good players to Chaminade and the more they try to make Chaminade irrelevant the less likely (they think) kids will leave GC. The last thing they want is to lose to them, I can promise you, but it is really more about just not showcasing Chaminade in front of future players.

What nonsense, showcasing Chaminade, in case you didn't know every kid and parent in GC knows all about Chaminade. Hardly need a lacrosse game to showcase it. The reason Chaminade didn't want to play GC is because they have too much to lose. GC isn't even ranked, but the team is good. They beat Chaminade and it's a great year. Chaminade loses to GC and the year is ruined. Fact, Chaminade refused to play GC. Ask the coach!!!

Flyers vs WM who's winning ?

Why can't a sophomore (who has never played a varsity game) transfer to another Catholic school as a Junior without sitting out? It's a dumb rule.

Recent GC kids who left to go to Chaminade became impact players there and ended up recruited to Yale, Harvard, UPenn, Georgetown, Army, Duke, Briown, Fairfield, Villanova and others. If you don't think the GC coach would have preferred to have them on his team you are crazy.

He can as long as the school he is transferring to is in the boundaries of the school district in which he lives. For example, a kid who lives in South Huntington and goes to Chaminade can transfer to St. Anthony's without sitting out a year.
