Eventually, Chaminade will let their players rise and fall depending on ability, not grade. That includes moving upperclassmen down to JV and Frosh/Sophs up to varsity if ability determines that's the right place. A lot of private schools have no problem having Seniors on JV if they get cut from varsity but still want to play lacrosse. 5 years from now this will be the norm and the current rigid and artificial system will give way to free market forces of natural ability.
I don't understand the resistance that Chaminade and St A's has to change. Programs like Haverford, which would chew up and spit out Chaminade, have no problem with underclass players on varsity. What's the real issue here to the resistance to change? The entire world is changing - lax and otherwise.
Haverford was by far the best team in the country in 2015.
In 2014, however, they lost six times (including a loss to St. Anthony's). In 2013, they lost seven times. I take it you never played lacrosse growing up? This is your first son going through the recruiting process?
