Question about the Syosset Summer Lax program - this does sound good so help out if you know the answers to any of these below questions because it is so rare that a town can successfully pull this off: Does anyone know if the HS Summer Tournament teams are playing in the Elite division or B division? Do individual players attend recruiting camps? What is the cost per player for the summer tournament team?
It would be interesting to find out is the system makes the player or do a few key players make the system look good...
This is a middle school topic that was started, not high school. However....
Elite or B division-- depends on grade Recruiting camps-- yes, as individuals, many do, representing Syosset Costs for summer team-- Youth travel Spartans team - very reasonable fee
Many kids In Syosset at every age level play club travel in addition to PAL, school and town travel.
Players benefit the system and the system benefits the players.
Is the Syosset love in over yet? Done patting each other on the back? BTW, exactly what elite tournaments have these AMAZING teams won? Have never seen or heard of them in any of the the tourneys that are of note. The players that make the difference on any of those teams are those who play club ball outside of the town system I am sure. It's how it is in most townie teams. They take credit for the hard work of the few who actually go an play LAX all year and benefit from that experience, just as the MS teams do now. So back on topic; I do not feel that MS ball benefits the elite club player who has to play down in order to represent the school team. Put the pom-poms away until high school. That is where they all catch up and can enjoy the "school experience" as a unit. Until then, MS ball is a waste of time for the advanced player. Keep them on their club teams and keep them getting better. It pays off in the end.
