And they can al buy there own beer. Ahhhh, of course a reclass joke. Someone always gets reclass in a thread. However, beer, great lax and entry into the top colleges. Seems pretty good to me.

Reclassing is common in Founders and other leagues. Not a big deal and usually benefits the child getting into a better school which is the goal of most of the lax families at prep schools. No real $ in pro lacrosse anyway.

You can say what you want about re-class founders league accepts it and if your kid can dominate with older kids it only helps his recruitment . if you can get your kid in that league it is a no brainer it is where the best kids play . just look at each roster and how many DIV 1 studs they all have at any given time during a game there is at least 8 DIV 1 commits on the field

Lot's seem to complain. We all want the best for our children. That's why they are in private school.

Just curious, what is the holding back cut off point? If you hold back 1 year and your kid is still are not a stud, how far back does it become super lost? 2,3.4 years? Of course their grades should be through the roof doing 8th grade over and over but is there a point where even the superdouche parents have a little pink polo shirt and kaki short angel over their shoulder saying OK, lets try golf.... lacrosse isn't working.

I think Deerfield was tops this Spring. Destroyed Salisbury in the indoor championship. The top grouping are all really good teams though.

Hopefully not a trend. Unfortunately schools don't need lacrosse economically. They want it.

I would love to see over a ten year or 20 year period the amount of money that a lacrosse team donates to a school after playing there. I have always felt that the number was high compared to other sports especially with 40-50 members on a team.

Often weaker econmic families involved who don't give back unless they make NFL or NBA. They assume all athletes have same background.

So Lawrenceville gets Jon Posner from Culver, any ideas how that came about? I would expect Lawrenceville to get better really quick.

You will see a fallout of players in this league due to pandemic costs and reduction of 70k scholarships.

It's possible. However if full rides were given prior to pandemic hitting and contracts signed they will be in place for this year.

Not all children are held back so dad feels better about himself. Some have learning disorders that need additional time to either develop executive skills or simply take longer to learn or figure school and athletics out. If parents have the means to send their child to a private school and get a better education why bash them? By the way, once in high school it doesn't matter how old you are as you can play as high as your ability and effort allow.

Lots of hard work from Choate coaches this year. Strong indoor season, heavy strength program. Look out next season, they are top 3 in Founders.
