That sounds more like a recommendation than feedback. You do realize this event is a brilliant money maker for the HS coaches. I'm surprised they don't charge much more to tryout. A bargain compared to UA, with pretty much the same level of colleges coaches watching on the sidelines! And if you haven't realized how biased and political Lax is by now, you will be in for a lot more disappointment down the line. Tell your son to keep
practicing, hold his head high, Keep seeking opportunities to showcase his skills, and don't blame others, although I know how badly we want to! Hopefully his time will come! Good luck!

You can tell your kid all the cliche stuff"keep working" "do the right thing" etc but if its a fixed event how can you not tell your kid that also. If he plays a position and does everything right and a player who plays the same position and at the same tryout played horrible yet makes the team/next round because his coach is on the sideline campaigning for him. The kids are at an age where its obvious and it is disappointing to them. Its is very obvious that some coaches have more pull than others. There are also the coaches who will be coaching the final game that get to pull along a few of their undeserving players.


I agree 100%. Been though this. My son was passed over a number of times after clearly playing better than the kids chosen over him. There was always some shenanigans going on with the evaluators. All I can say is cream will rise to the top, and he is doing fantastic now. Headed to a top school with a scholarship much better than some of the kids who were built up by their coaches. Hang in there!


Hey guys!!?? This event is no more or less fixed than any of the so called elite cub showcases that kids get pushed into by directors. If you don't play for the right club or high enough team you don't get to go. My son has been to prospect days or tournaments where a kid is wearing a maverick showtime helmet he got when he attended that couldn't play 3rd line midfield on his HS team. They are all political. It's what lacrosse has become.


Events like this have always been political. If this site existed back when the Empire team was the be-all-end-all, we'd be complaining about the same stuff.
