The Mount Sinai Coaches, as well as Admin., went back and forth with the choice to attempt to put the MS teams in the Tourney. There would have been many schedualing conflicts so the choice was "not to". The YJ players (that also play MS Youth) were Rostered for this Tourney a month ago. Could they have played both, as they do many other times? Yes, but it wasn't feasible, too many conflicts for them to play the 8 games. Okay, so you say field the team without them...That was attempted on paper. There would NOT HAVE BEEN enough players to field a team even if ALL MS PLAYERS showed (which is never the case). All the planning behind the scenes could not have made it happen. Trust me, the attempt was made!! No conspiracy, "nothing behind your backs". No one was left behind, it was a logistics "choice".
Spring prepardness?? You yourself said that the MS girls had (16) weeks of winter game sessions and stick training afforded to them... ALOT more than other organizations do during the off season! Then parents complain that "its too much...this isn't Lacrosse season..its winter!" Which is it, too much or not enough?? |
