Now that the HS season is over, let's start discussing summer and club lax.
Ossining is running a HS summer league, mostly river town teams. Also, there is a HS summer league on Friday nights in Fairfield CT. I definitely miss the good old days of Sound Shore and Van Cortlandt summer leagues.
In regard to the club, whenever I asked others about the state of club in Westchester/CT, I have heard rumors about PT & 2w. However, I always ignored the chatter, because it was always secondhand info.
Well recently, outside of lacrosse and in the professional world, I met a current assistant PT coach and he assured me that it’s not rumors!
Early on, PT worked with 2w when 2w started. PT even loaned players to DE. Eventually, there was a falling out between the directors, ND and DE. Since PT is an affiliate member of the National Lacrosse Federation, 2w is black listed for all NLF events. Which I just started to follow and noticed that they are not in NLF events (hmmm).
Well that [Censored] for the 2w players and shame on ND. I understand this is a business, but clearly ND is ultimately punishing the 2w players and limiting club lax growth in the area.
Obviously, ND feels threatened by 2ws growth and appeal to players/parents.
Please reframe from 2w bashing in regard to holdbacks and country club privileges. Because it’s evident throughout nearly all programs in the CT/NJ/NY area.
This is an idiotic take and clearly you have an issue with the Prime Time Director. Take it up with him. No one is stifling club growth anywhere, if they could it would be a brilliant business decision to do so. I have direct knowledge of the club landscape in westchester and there is more cooperation to grow the game than there is to stifle competition. Is there competition between 2way and PT for the best players? Yes. As there is with all the other clubs. Might there be some animosity between those two particular clubs? Possibly, but if there is, it's been kept relatively quiet and behind the scenes. Thanks to you coming on here to blow that out of proportion for no particular reason, they will both likely have to address it.
I hope this self-serving post worked in your favor, because it contributed nothing to the overall landscape of Westchester/CT club programs.
