BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys High School Lax

By GC parents saying my kid’s HS (GardenCity) will beat your HS it invites the comeback from a D1 college commits to say my college team being D1 will beat your GC kids D3 college team. Just thought you should know what people are thinking each time GC parents claim our HS lacrosse team will beat yours. Continue on.

If you think a HS program should be dedicated to your son becoming a D-1 commit, you're foolish. If your only goal for your son is to become a D-1 commit, you are foolish. If you think there is a pot of gold at the end of the lacrosse rainbow you are foolish. Continue on

Wait what? Offensive structure in the youth game?

Youth lax should be about throwing, catching and having fun. Only the dad himself cares about his own lax career 30 years ago.

Of course most parents teach kids to be team players. You are suggesting that all those kids who committed to compete at the division one level from Long Island are not team players and were taught differently. I think the point is that although everybody wants to win championships the goal for many is also to play d1 college lacrosse. This is a especially so at the top high school lacrosse programs like Garden City. To suggest that these kids will not be team players show a lack of understanding of of the recruitment process. These kids are scrutinized big time and all seem to have passed the background check and is he a team player check that they all must go through. This goes for all divisions not only division one. Also, it has to be considered a failure for top level high schools to not be able to get any or very few kids committed to division one lacrosse programs. So don’t pretend having no d1 commits for any one year is not a failure.

Time to change the subject. This should be a safe topic. Does anyone have a list of high schools who are allowing visiting parents to attend games and what the restrictions are for the visitors?

Flying saucers are in the running.

Section 8, Nassau still at 2 spectators per player, ridiculous

There are schools that don’t allow visiting parents. It would be nice if each school had their policy on their web page. From what I understand there are parents going to games they are not allowed to go to. Some of this could be avoided by just posting a policy where people can find it.

Hopefully by lax season visiting spectators will be allowed.

exactly my point and for years we have mirrored their decisions....the NCAA also lowered lacrosse into the intermediate risk.... for whatever reason (fear) suffolk and nassau county will not change this....
understand that what they are doing in most districts is quarantining a team from practices and games but not school??? So it isnt about safety its about fear and accountability....
the ONLY way this gets changed is if parents go off and make local politicians uncomfortable

Suffolk schedules are out on Section xi site

Nassau schedules are up on the Section VIII site too.

Lots of teams moved conferences. Is that because of enrollment numbers or past performances? Seems nothing is consistent with other sports, some secret formula not published anywhere. Manhasset now in Nassau C but may be tougher for them because of CSH and Locust Valley.

No getting off the Island this year

Manhasset will be the best for the next three seasons. 2021 & 2022 have two of the top players in the nation and the 2023 class is loaded.

The 2024's wont compete with GC CSH SS or even Lynbrook.

Why not there 2024's they always where the top team in PAL.

Best players left for Pvt.

Listen to the lacrosse commentators during the next D1 game you watch and you'll hear how great it is that these Men were given another bite at the apple and this 5th year or 6th-7th year senior is playing. Yeah ask the kids sitting on the bench and ask them how great it is watching these Men transfer in from other teams or stick around for another year-not so great.
