Good school great sports. Best be realistic on daughters actual talent if you want her to play. Many very good jrs and sr’s never play any meaningful minutes ( 10 mins in 15-0 win doesn’t count imo ) and watch games all season. Many very solid sophomores play on JVA and wait to try to start ( best 5+ sophs already on Varsity ) until junior year. Not a knock just a fact. It’s loaded with talent and perhaps more akin to a top travel team as it has 8-12+ very solid players per year. Many of the top HS’s will have 3-4+ top per year and average schools say 2+ per grade. Heck even many bottom teams will have 1+ very solid kids per grade.
I rambled. Point is be realistic unless watching from sidelines is fine. You’ll win championships but I think kids want to play. Saint Anthony’s is always stacked.

Thank you

Yes, the SH coached played on US National Team and has coached at Virginia Tech, Army, and Georgetown. Definitely legit.

Are you really choosing your daughters High School Education based on which Catholic School has the best lacrosse program?

Yes, why not....

Garden City HS is another option since you mention catholic schools

Agree SA is generally better lacrosse but SH coach is more decorated. She also coaches at Liberty lacrosse. SH also an all girls school. A lot of Garden City and RVC families at SH as well

Welcome to LI! SA - has the best talent and program legacy but currently the coaching is abit lagging. Alittle off topic but is she also considering any LI club teams? If you dont mind sharing what MA club team does she play on now?

Why aren’t All Division winners invited to the Girls. Suffolk County dinner?

Way too many trophies being handed out

Thank you for your feedback. She’s prob. Going to stay playing with her current club team / Mass Elite. Thanks again,

Did they announce the catholic school all american?

USA lacrosse will eventually put out a list the catholic league generally gets 2 AA 2 AA Academic and one Jackie Pitts award.
Since the catholic league doesn’t have a dinner it’s not announced like the public schools are.

FYI: If you’re considering playing in the “All Long Island “ games next year. Don’t do it. What a huge scam money grab. Most of the top girls don’t even do it, it is a made up event. “Photo shoot” was pathetic. One horrible picture is not a photo shoot. What happened to the BBQ that was promised? Waste of time that nobody cares about. Run fast

Commack attacker ? Everyone knows those stats were padded.

Big waste of money for another uniform for one useless game. If they are going to do it, it has to be more than one game. What a waste of time and money!

You mean like WB? Lol, stop

FYI all this stuff is now a money grab. You are invited to such and such, just apply and have a 500 dollar check and the invites in the mail. Find a club where your daughter plays and they go to tournaments where coaches will be. The coaches will find you. Stop wasting money and paying people who don't care for your kids.

Breaking news……SA’s will have a completely new varsity coaching staff next year.

Where did you see this news? I don’t see it anywhere? Was there an announcement?

When will the LI AA Highlight roster be posted?

Why is there a girl from Connecticut on the LI roster???

Because players travel to tryout. I’m sure there have been LI players on the Conny, or other tri-state teams over the past several years. Not the first time this has happened.

The CT girl was also on LI Yellow Jackets for club.

Wait, does she not go to practice if playing for YJ and living in CT. How does that work. I actually have also seen girls from FL and Ohio on YJ lol not sure how this works

It’s called team stacking. Boys teams do it all the time. Just show up to tournaments. I thought All-America had a rule that you had to try out in your home region?

A lot of these kids have parents that grew up on Long Island and still have family here. Many spend the summer on LI.

CT is not that far. We are not talking a lot of practices either for that team. I believe she did show up most of the time. We are only talking about a handful of practices. FL and OH! Not sure how they make it to the practices?

That's never been a real thing. A prominent 2024 that always wears a pink bow in her hair didn't make it in her region a few years back, so she tried out for a team smack dab in the middle of the country and made it. If you look at the West roster this year, you'll see some kids tried out for AA while out there for another tournament. This isn't a problem, as the West isn't always the strongest group. Further, the tournament has pulled kids from other regions to fill out rosters when needed.

It happens. Often.

What does that have to do with anything?? The girl should try out in the region she plays. It’s taking away a position from a regional girl. Terrible!

What are they doing for practices in the fall winter and spring? Not show up?

Not sure about the others? The CT girl does play for a Long Island YJ team. So, it is the region she plays in.

UA has always been open for anyone to tryout for any region.

Can I get others opinions on thr Maryland Showcase I’d you attended this past weekend? I have very strong negative feelings but was curious if it’s just me or others did as well?

ANY TRUE TO THIS ?

Yes SA will have all new varsity coaches this year all three of the previous ones were fired.

Why were they let go?

Who are they interviewing?

No surprise that they were fired there coaching has always been eh with the amount of talent they have they should’ve went undefeated and should not have let SH almost take them to OT.

Fired?? Not true! I think maybe some resigned.? How do you know this anyways? You shouldn't speak to what you don’t know
