Got to say this area is fool when it comes to HS Lacrosse. Moving here later in life and not personally experiencing this except for with my children, people are fool. Seems that it means more to parents being able to brag about their kids to others than what is practical or even what the kids want. Schools should be about education first. I have heard of kids driving an hour each way to school just for lacrosse, parents spending thousands just so their kid can be on certain team, parents wanting their kid on the Varsity team over playing time, parents picking certain private schools that only have Varsity so they can say their kids is a 4 yr Varsity kid and so many other things I can’t understand. Can people from this area explain why this is so important and has it always been this way. Where I grew up hard work, dedication and talent is what parents taught us about.
People do this for lots of sports and activities. Find a group that shares your passion! Gymnastics , swimming , football. It’s not your problem if a family decides what’s best for their kid. Go back to wherever you came from if it was better being average ! Going to a top private prepares kids to play faster in college. Top competition every game in high school. Lots of positives for hard working , dedicated kids that want to play the best.
