Both of my boys have made in the past the best travel "A" teams there are so I think as long as it is a positive experience and your sons are up to their fullest potential -- then you're a winner.

Hello,
Exactly my point. Northport is a minority, meaning that not many towns can boast strong support of their lacrosse program, and true concern for keeping the kids playing in-town, for their high school as well. A valid point made by a prior post refers to the high school with a weaker team, or the school administration brushing off a lax program as unimportant. Your situation is great to hear about, but not the case in a great many districts with weaker programs, but having kids enthusiastic about furthering their involvement to higher levels.
Enjoy
