My son is in the 5th grade, we are in a northern Westchester "hot bed" for lacrosse. I've been told by 3 or 4 different parents that my son "has to play for XYZ summer club or he'll never play in HS because the Varsity coach runs the club". I have refused to be pressured into registering him for the team in spite of being invited by the program director. He plays for a summer program that has no connection to our HS program and everyone knows this HS associated club is far inferior to the one he plays on now.
What is a parent to do? My son loves playing for this other club, has many friends on the team and is being coached by a few highly qualified coaches.
If your good you play.....period.
Not true at all at our HS. The girls coach has been playing games for years. There have been countless times when she does not play the best or even the good players. It has nothing to do with a conflict with a Club. It is a combination of nepotism, incompetence and who knows what.
I want to make sure I understand....You are saying that there is a HS coach who is not playing the teams best player??? And not playing the teams 2nd, 3rd best players. Soooo then who is playing?? My next question then is what HS team are you speaking of. Since you are listed as anonymous you should inform us but only after speaking with the AD of the school.
