I guess there is no reason to continue this conversation because you will rebuff any accomplishments and say weak program.
I don't think the program in question is weak, I dont think the competition he played was weak (some sure, not all) but that is only one persons opinion.
Again I really don't know the program he plays for. I also don't have an issue with the kid. All the power to him. [b] I have a problem when events hold a tryout and a player is given a free pass. When a parent implies he is entitled to it is BS.[/b] I gave examples of great programs as a reference to historically lacrosse rich town with major success. In the rare occasion do they bring up 8th graders. All that is asked by the parents is a fair and transparent tryout process. This was very far from it. It has happened all too often.
