Let's be honest, all things being equal a coach will take a tall girl over a shorter girl. Period. If you don't agree, you don't watch enough sports. Bigger is better, in EVERY sport. "All things" are rarely if ever equal. Coaches want the best player they can get and unless the position requires height they want the best athlete. As far as all sports go, when was the last time you saw a 6'5" cornerback in the NFL? How about a 6'4" running back? Those are two of the most athletic positions in all of sport and the best in the world are average height . Lacrosse is not basketball , there is no position where height is required. Bigger? Really, bigger is better in every sport? do you see a lot of 6' 250 lb women's professional tennis players. Are there many 6'5" 250 lb shortstops playing MLB? If your daughter didn't have offers from Maryland, Carolina, Northwestern and the like it was not because of her height. Bringing up womens tennis really goes against your argument , the most dominant womens tennis player in the game and probably the best player in history is big by female athlete standards. Wrong. Once again, height is not the reason that she is good. And relative to many other top female tennis players she would not considered tall. She is 5'9" , her sister is 6'1" . Things are never equal.... There are many "things" considered and just about off of them are more important than height. To the person who believes "you can't coach speed" you are 100% incorrect. The original post was not intended to be a Tall vs Short debate. It was to demonstrate that college coaches will recruit the best player. There are many factors and height is not of major concern. I was going to let this go because you are obviously a little slow but will give it a try. You mentioned womens tennis as an example of a sport where being bigger than average is not an advantage. It is pointed out to you that tennis is a bad sport to support your argument as the best player is taller than average and your response is that relative to the rest of the best players in the world she is not that tall. So in your opinion the best players in the world( professional players) are considerably taller than average but being tall is not an advantage in the sport of tennis, that makes no sense. We get it your short kid is every bit as good if not better than any kid that is taller than average. Please tell us the college lacrosse program that has passed on a kid because the kid was too tall. Again never are all things equal but if in a coaches mind you have 2 players of equal speed, IQ, stick skills etc. they are going to take the 5ft9 player over the 5 ft0 player, keep telling yourself that size is not an advantage in sports but you are just simply "wrong". You call someone slow yet you have missed the entire point. I notice that you also have difficulty debating what was actually written. Instead, you prefer to change things a bit and then present your insane argument. Get it through you think head, you are the only misfit on here carrying on about bigger/taller is always better. Can you even recall the original question or is that too much to ask? The poster asked if coaches had a "profile" and someone provided an answer which showed that many girls of different heights were recruited by many of the best college programs (none appeared to be excluded for not meeting the profile). Based on the actual kids that were recruited, it does not appear that coaches will exclude girls for not being tall enough. Can you grasp that or is it too difficult for you? Take a look at the top programs in the country, they have players of varying height the large majority of the which are between 5'4 and 5'7" (not exactly tall). It is not height that makes them the best players in the country. The same with your tennis star, It is not her height that makes her great. Can you follow, can you understand? Also, I have not read any posts indicating that shorter is always better. What I have seen is people indicating that coaches look at many factors when they are recruiting and height is not a major concern.

Speed is something that doesn't improve as readily as strength or conditioning. More importantly the "motor" tied to speed is either something you have or you don't. Some kids are moving all the time and others only move when they have the ball or when the coach is chewing them out.
Give me a kid with a good motor any day. Everything else can be taught. Speed will improve in direct proportion to strength. However, it is the strength to body weight ratio that is the determining factor when it comes to speed. The motor that you refer to is more of a mental thing. The players that have it (the motor) are the players that hustle all over the field. They are the players that work just as hard playing off ball defense or redefining as they do when they are going to the goal. I agree 100% with how important the motor is. Just do not agree on what determines speed and how it can be improved. slow kids don't get fast, quick kids can get quicker Another J#%^ A*€ who knows nothing. Please explain the science behind your brilliant statement .

Thats right never at least they have won 1 (or 4). They also did very well last year. I remember a time not to long ago Mt Salina wasn't very good , but turns it around in a short time. BBP was a joke 3 years ago. Riverhead still is. Anything can happen so don't be so obnoxious about a school that has a better winning history than your daughters school does

Is their data incomplete?

With the exception of GC it is the sport for kids that get cut from soccer. Hate being negative but that is just reality. How many high schools on Long Island even have a team?

When will the Nassau power conference be announced? Who is sandbagging this year by begging out and who will jumping up and down to join? Could be the best top to bottom division in the country. Why doesn't Suffolk go this route. Everyone is pretty tired of seeing girls score 300 points against terrible teams and horrible coaching that allows teams to beat Copaigue 30-2

The coaching is what gets it done. The sport is unwatchable and nobody cares. This is a lacrosse forum . We will have to disagree about the level of athletes in GC but I will agree regarding coaching. You need to come in out of the boondocks every once in a while it will help with your perception about athletes.

GC has sub-par athletes? Soccer state title 2013, Lacrosse state titles 2016 and 2017. Field hockey and/or soccer state finalists 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017. Looks like these "sub-par" athletes are getting things done

Maybe you have never heard of Barbara Sullivan, Tarzian, Rix, Weiss, O’Hanlon, Lynch, the Defliese sisters, Brennan, to name a few.
Just because the majority of GC players don’t make a career out of lax post graduation, doesn’t mean they didn’t have successful collegiate careers.

You need to check your reality. Field hockey in Suffolk County very competitive, fielding a ton of lacrosse girls in districts from N-port, ESM, WM, SE and Sachem East and many more.

Have to agree with the original poster on this one. Give GC credit for a quality lacrosse program and strong teams spanning the years, with several decent college impact players, but for all their success as a program, that number of players, you would expect, should be much greater and the impact in college to be much bigger.
