Disagree. True, play all the time and your team will be better. But look at Prime Time-- sure is a top program in the entire country. They play together a lot but don't take over the lives of their players. If that top player on Express from Westchester played for them, "dominate" might be the wrong word. Predators and Eclipse no jokes either. The Bandits are an exceptional team and have been since 2nd grade-- don't think they reflect "Long Island" on the whole. Express always been strong. But don't think players on LI are so much better than here.

Maybe it's more that Long Island has created a massive culture of playing competitive lacrosse and with so many kids/parents/coaches it is inevitable that the best ones will find one another and kick butt. It's not about playing year-round though of course that helps.
