You can scream till you are blue in the face, there are not 22 D1 players on your current club team. Last edited by JMLax1; .

Compare the number of international girls on the top 10 D1 field hockey programs to those who live here in the states. Not so easy getting a D1 field hockey scholarship

Just looked quickly... 1 - Long Island player on 10 of the Traditional Top 10 Field Hockey rosters.... UNC, Duke, Del, BC, Michigan, Princeton, UVA, PSU, MD, UConn 70 (approximately) - Long Island players on 9 traditional lacrosse powers (left Stony Brook out) UNC, Syracuse, Northwestern, Penn, Princeton, ND, Florida, BC, UVA Obviously Long Island Lacrosse is very strong, Long Island field hockey not a hotbed.

The Majority of Lacrosse parents I know view Lacrosse as a way to help get their child into a College/University that they would otherwise not be able to get accepted at. Most were less concerned about scholarships knowing full well that only the majority of players do not receive significant “athletic scholarship $$” at the most competitive programs many of which are excellent academic institutions. The goal is to get into a great school! Coming from Long Island it is extremely difficult to get into the best schools without having something to offer in addition to grades and test scores.

To each is own, yes, kids play other club sports to go to college but let’s just not miss the point the that people like you “use” lacrosse try and get into those schools b/c of the inherent belief that it is the easiest. That is the point. Not saying it is right or wrong and can’t get your kid into a good school. Us as parents have to use every avenue available to give our kids a shot at a good life and maybe a life better than ours. Just too many are delusional about athletic ability because they play on a club team and spending way too much money to get their.

Happy to hear that your kids had a good experience and that they earned scholarships. I honestly think it is terrific. I will say that your point / points are strange...but I get it and unfortunately girls lacrosse creates a lot of animosity. That said, We "use" as in leverage lacrosse the same way we "use" or leverage hard work, good grades etc... in order to increase our child's likelihood / odds / chances etc... of getting into the best or right school. For some reason you seem to take issue with the concept. As far as it being easy, I do not believe it was easy for any of the kids, I'm sure they all worked hard and did the best they could. I do agree with you that there are a lot of delusional parents.... Not all of the kids are going to go to a Top 10 program or to a top 10 academic school but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try. Set the bar and the goal high and even if you don't reach it you will probably do pretty well. From a financial standpoint , everyone is in a different position and has different priorities. If Lacrosse or any other sport helps with the cost of college that is great. I will say that if many of the best "lacrosse" athletes chose to specialize in another sport they would have success. We do not see the same opportunities in other sport for many reasons, it's not simply because the athletes are not here on The Island, a lot of other factors are involved.

Things are changing by the year, and this will be even more pronounced as colleges waive SATs and the number of applications shoot through the roof. Every little edge will count when it comes to getting into a top school (academically and lax-wise). And while it's great that your kids played D1, was it one of the schools the other poster mentioned? Not all D1s are alike, and I would much rather my kid not play lacrosse and go to a top educational institution than go to some no name D1 and face an uphill battle getting a job. Of course, the hope is that lacrosse will be the factor that determines whether my kid gets into a top school that otherwise would be very hard, even with top grades.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Many of the top lax programs are also the top academic schools as well - and therefore harder to get into without lacrosse. I would definitely take the time to prep for the SAT and take it by Fall of 11th grade. A top academic school will most likely have 1300-1450 SAT requirements for admission. If you fall in the higher end of that range - you will receive more academic merit regardless of college. I believe a 1250 SAT score will exempt you from counting as part of the 12 athletic scholarships allowed per D1 team - and you will be able to stack athletic money and multiple academic grants at some schools. Some lower D1 schools only have 1100-1250 SAT requirements, so if you score higher than that range - you would probably qualify for more grants because you would rank higher as a student at that school. Coaches always ask for transcripts and SAT scores to see how many academic grants they can offer you - and to see if you can get into their school via admissions. In many of these smaller schools, 1300-1350 can also get you into their honors programs - which is more money in academic grants. Surprisingly, the honors program SAT requirements at one D1 school could be at, or lower, than the minimum SAT requirements at more prestigious school. If cost matters - than that deal will probably be a better fit. There are some really great state schools as well that would probably cost nearly the same - or at least in the same ballpark - as attending a private college without any athletic money at all. Also, not every college accepts AP and college credits the same way. Higher end schools want to see 4 or 5 on APs, where smaller colleges and state schools will accept 3s for credit. If your child spent the time taking college classes in high school, it would be worth if for them to get credit for the classes - and that is money too. 30 credits is a year of college in the bank. Academics often get overlooked in the recruiting process. Not pushing small schools at all - but if money is an issue - they make sense for a lot of families. Good luck with the process!

Some good advice, except the very best academic schools don’t give any academic money (Ivies). 1300 SAT is what you need

Go back and read the tread. That’s nice you want a great education or your kids, but most people do it for their kids to actually “play” at the next level. You don’t need to “use” lacrosse to get into those schools you just know it is the easiest route to do so...point made. "...point made." I don't think so... I believe the post that you are responding to states "use lacrosse to Help" get into what many would consider one of many great schools. The post also stated "and have them be part of a college team". So yes, many on this site have chosen to use lacrosse in order to help put their children in a better position to be accepted to a great college / university while at the same time provide them with the opportunity to enjoy all of the positives and benefits that go along with being part of a team. Some of us believe that athletics play a large role in the education of our children. Sports in general but especially team sports teach many lessons that will benefit our children throughout their life. Two of my kids who were both multi sport athletes are playing in college and both are at great schools that they would not have gotten into without lacrosse (and they were both good students). My children have all made friends along the way (as have my wife and I) and I am sure that many of their college teammates will be their close friends for life. You state "parents giving absurd money to club teams and showcases to get an athletic scholarship" ... again, I have not seen much chatter about scholarships on here. I have seen a lot of talk regarding "recruiting" and the process not so much on scholarships. I am curious though, do you believe that other sports are free? Do you believe that the top soccer and basketball players do not pay to be on club teams and participate in showcases? If you think in this day and age getting into the Top Schools is easy you haven't had a child go through the process. If you did, and it was easy well then congratulations. In my experience, the kids that are playing lacrosse at the college worked pretty hard and are continuing to do so. Another benefit that lacrosse provides is the extensive networking opportunities that are available for those who choose to take advantage of the lacrosse network. It sounds like you are bitter about something. Sounds like a soccer dad who just realized that NY ranks right behind Alaska on the most girls soccer scholarship list by state. Long Island is mecca for lacrosse. Soccer is unfortunately average to below average for an area. Not to mention that soccer is about as exciting to watch as paint drying. "The final was 1-0. It was a nail-biter! It was back in forth for the whole 90 minutes." 90 minutes to watch on goal. No thanks. Paint dries in an hour. I'll watch that. Second only to field hockey where girls try to run while hunched over a stick that is clearly only half the size it ought to be. Are there any studies on what D1 field hockey player's spines look like by the time they're 40? (Please note, I am not disparaging the players' efforts to excel. Both sports require tremendous dedication and skill.)

All of the Ivy's, other top privates, some great public universities... city schools, suburban schools, New England, Southern, Mid Western, West Coast, Large, small, mid-size.... Great to be able to go to the "best" school but "Best" to find the "Right" school for your child.... IMHO "Best Fit" is the goal.

It’s always funny when people who are posting on this site try to knock others for “having time to post”....

Not every kid knows what career path they want to pursue so choosing a school that can open as many doors as possible is very important.

Most likely not a Sayville parent posting that, just someone looking to start trouble. This is year belongs to BBP, it is their championship to lose. They are the deepest team and brimming with underclass talent.

They don’t play each other in playoffs bc they’re in different divisions. On paper its each of their county championships to lose. We’ll find out in four weeks.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Mt Sinai girls team wins it’s 3rd 1 goal game of the season beating SWR at the buzzer. If you want to teach officials how to call a game, use this game film. The crew missed a lot. Girls lacrosse is a non contact sport - MS drew 3 yellow cards and a green for delay of game for not giving the SWR player 5 yards after fouling her (prob should have been a yellow). Probably should have had half a dozen more yellows given the outrageous number of body checks and their over aggressive defensive play. MS played from behind most of the game. SWR like Westhampton lost the game. Crafty MS coaches at one point put an extra player on the field subbing her through the box. They do a lot of subbing on the fly. Future opponents should take note and assign someone to count the players on the field every set bc the refs clearly don’t and the MS coaches continue to push the limits and make officials officiate. Tough spot bc the officials then get blamed for deciding the outcome but maybe if they start enforcing the basic rules the coaching shannigans that have been happening for years at MS may finally be exposed and end. #1 on MS is legit. Has a great future ahead of her. Shocked to see younger Choma at MS. ESM, Riverhead and now MS. She’s in 9th grade. MS keeping up that tradition of importing talent into the district for their HS runs. Not sure if SWR is really good at this point or if MS winning is a fluke.

Why did you feel the need to come to our side of the field after the game? I know you’re on here, so might as well reply. You’re a classless piece of s$@t. At what age do you stop challenging grown men to a fist fight in the parking lot? Your team lost, put your tail between your legs and go home like everyone else does. I’ll refrain from calling out the girls on here as everyone already knows how dirty they are when they are losing!
