Assuming you're right (for the sake of argument, anyway!), let's really analyze this from a numerical standpoint: Nassau is a much smaller geographic area than Suffolk, and in general probably has more club options available on a relative basis. That means that from a logistical perspective, Nassau players can find many club options closer to home, IE, the talent is more spread out amongst many teams in the county (and even into Suffolk county if you live in Eastern Nassau). Suffolk, on the other hand is larger and has a more distributed population, which easily could translate into teams with more concentration of players, particularly from certain regions of Suffolk. Which is all to say that even if you're right about the top clubs on LI being from Suffolk, when you consider all of the above, it has no bearing on determining whether one county's players are predominantly better than the other's. Go spend time with your kid being a positive role model and less wasted time trying to live vicariously through him and claim who is better - they're 11 years old!
