So looks like both SH and SA are returning a bunch of high level players. Should make for an interesting few games for those 2 against each other. Unfortunately, the rest of Catholic teams are basically PAL teams (if that), so the out of conference schedule for both will be real test of how thy stack-up. But SA and SH usually schedule some of best non-league comp around so that will be interesting.
And the CSH and GC match-ups against SA and SH are great games to see. All Good.

I'm sure every team works just as hard...I can name a few that give it their all... Smithtown West, Westhampton, Bayport, ESM and Mattituck to name a few.

Why don't you girls trade Instagram handles and take this nonsense there - getting really boring for the rest of us.

How is what you just did any different or what I am doing right now for that matter . How about anyone who feels the need to make a post that has nothing to do with girls lacrosse like yours and this one just don’t do it . Now I feel like Sybil and hate myself .

How do we know which teams are B and which are C? Can't tell by looking at the schedules since B/C/D play each others. And, how many teams from B and or C make the playoffs? [/quote]
Go to the section XI athletics website and look for sports placements. Playoff wise go to playoff brackets at the top of the page.Its 11 in A, 5 in B, 5 in c , 3 in d[/quote]
C = RP, Islip, Westhampton, Sayville, Miller Place, SWR, Mt Sinai, BBP and Glenn. It seems most will agree the top [3] teams are Westhampton, BBP and Mt Sinai. What other [2] teams make the playoffs? B = West Islip, Bellport, Deer Park, Comsewogue, East Islip, ESM, West Babylon, EH/Pier/BH/Ross, Hauppauge, Kings Park and Harborfields. It seems most agree the top [3] teams are ESM, West Babylon and West Islip. What other [2] teams make playoffs?

Sorry but you just really have no idea . None of those teams you mentioned are getting together 2-3 times a week in the off season and essentially practice 7 days a week in season . It’s not a nock , just ask anyone you know who has a good knowledge of Suffolk county girls lax

WEST ISLIP WILL WIN THE ENTIRE THING

stop stirring the pot!

Agree, this person has no idea whatsoever. I know many girls at all the programs above, spanning many age groups. Hands down, not even close, MS puts in way more time and effort than any other. Sorta jealous of that, sorta not. Despite the winning, girls get burnt out and hate the culture and everything MS in the end, despite the everything is great social media message.

You clearly don't live in GC

ok buddy .. YOU HAVE NO CLUE. where are the specifics.. clown.. hiw’s Mastic these days?

Why the hatred of Mastic , not sure how its relevant to the discussion.

suffolk lacrosse is trash. please stop posting about the 2nd tier (athletic and academic) schools.

2nd tier athletics...lol that's kinda funny. Year after year Suffolk has the best girls lacrosse players etc...

SH dad stay in your lane, you beat us once every 10-15 years, by all accounts you were lucky to get out of the semi-finals alive last year, if the kellenberg coach had a clue you would have lost that game

So obviously just some dopey pot stirrer. Interesting that 1/3 of the D1 , team 1, All-Americans last year were Suffolk products. That is really impressive and just shows that if you can play at a high level on LI it translates well to the college game. Mr. Hempstead has no clue.

Pay to play- you must be referring to NP, Fdale, MS, Set and other non-elite lax teams.

nope Christmas gifts $$$

typical troll - sorry you didnt make YJ or Top Guns As

clueless! still waiting for specifics. sorry you can’t afford the cheapest home Set, GC or CSH.

Money and buying houses shouldn't come into play here. Troll is throwing dirt on the walls hoping it will stick. Maybe this belongs in the boys lacrosse forum and you're lost.

I just want to know why you lump SA in Nassau?

still waiting for how coaches who don’t coach travel get paid $$. Seems someone is implying there is money under the table. Not very productive to throw accusations around like that

I'm not sure if everyone is aware, but there is currently a NCAA proposal to change the recruiting calendar to allow contact starting 6/15 after 10th grade and visits and offers to begin 8/1. This would change the current date of 9/1 of junior year for all contact. This proposal has been recommended by the NCAA Student-Athlete Experience Committee for all sports but Football, Basketball, Baseball and Hockey. This proposal was approved for a final vote in April by the NCAA Council. This week the ACC has submitted a request to amend this proposal to keep the 9/1 date for lacrosse. This will now also be voted on in April. I'm not sure if most of you agree, but the current 9/1 date has several issues. First off, we are all forced to blindly spend money for our kids to attend camps, clinics, etc. While we can hear if a school has "general interest" some schools don't even offer that much. Allowing contact on 6/15 would make it possible to have real discussions with the coaches to gauge their actual level of interest, where the player is on their list and other useful information. It also provides an opportunity to being to create a relationship with the coaches that will be coaching your child for 4 years. As you all are aware, the 9/1 date does not remove the recruiting pressure on the kids. Coaches still watch the games years prior to that date. If anything the pressure is worse because the kids have no idea where they stand. Moving the visit date to 8/1 also allows the kids to more easily play fall sports. Most soccer, field hockey, football coaches aren't going to be too thrilled with kids missing Friday and weekend practices or even games because they need to go visit colleges for lacrosse. Coaches say they want multiple sport athletes yet pass rules that make it very difficult to play a fall sport junior year.

It has been expressed to me that it would be very beneficial for as many parents as possible to send letters/emails to the chair of the NCAA council prior to the April vote expressing concerns with the 9/1 date and support for the new proposal which is Proposal 2018-93. I am including the email below for the current and incoming Chairs. I hope we as a community can come together and try to make sure this positive change can pass.

is there an overall rule with Middle Schoolers playing on Varsity? or is it district to district. Are most 8th grade travel kids playing on varsity in suffolk and nassau?

and?

LOL.. seemed to have touched a nerve. I think what he is trying to say is that GC is going down to Virginia to face 3 of the top 10 teams in the country BACK TO BACK TO BACK... instead having tea and playing jacks and marbles with second tier competition in Suffolk like Islip and Northport

I think most schools have that week off. It would bother me that we would have to go to VA during break (and probably pay for most of the trip) . We already go to Maryland with the club team. Why the need to go with School? I assume to get more exposure for recruiting (assuming these girls don’t play for YJ)

Sorry to hear it would bother you. We’re happy to go! It’s always a great trip.

Good Council is trying to be a recruiting powerhouse in Olney Maryland. Visitation has a great team lately.

Agreed those Va teams are pretty solid and all finished in top 15 last year. Is this a tournament in VA? or did the schools just set this up between themselves? Great team building and exposure nonetheless. Great opportunity to visit the white [ChillLaxin]...(never mind).

Speaking of tournaments.. does anyone know if the brains for gains tournament is happening this year. Have not heard anything yet.

When does Newsday list the players to watch?

and?

NYS has a waiver that must be completed in order for middle school aged kids to play Hs sports (jv or varsity) you must prove physical maturity and ability In addition each district has there own way of thinking No not all 8 th graders are pulled up.

When is the class rankings for the girls for 2021 going be listed? interested to see who the top girls for recruiting will be.

Good Counsel isn't very good this year(and is in Maryland). Holton Arms is down this year too(Also in Maryland). Visitation is a very good team(and is in DC).

In the past CSH has gone down to MD and played Georgetown Visitation as well. Strong program. Nice hosts.

Only exceptional 8th graders are pulled up. Not only do they have to pass a maturity test, in many districts they also need to guaranteed minimum 50% playing time. This means they need to be as good or better than current starters. Not easy to do in a good district.

personally I think its not good for 8th graders hanging out with seniors. different mentality.. and burn out.. don't know why people push so much to get theirkid on varsity
