A good lax player being recruited by colleges who never sees the field on his HS team is going to be less concerned what his HS coach has to
say. The only time these kids get to play is on club. Now, if the coach controls the summer too he holds all the cards for your kids future as it relates to lax and college. Hence, he now knows the kids will do ANYTHING he says.


EXACTLY!!!


Add to it, the coaches who penalize the kids who don't do all their off season work outs, camps, etc.


Not sure what the other town/school programs are doing, but in GC the summer town teams coached by the school district coaches end at 8th grade (going into 9th). That would seem to limit the conflict of interest and any potential unfairness to a HS kid playing on another club team for the summer.


The conflicts of interest are out of control.


Why doesn't anybody ever complain about the conflicts of interest with the Express? I hear that St A's kids who don't play Express never see the field. That's as wrong as anything else in the club landscape. Yet the St A's coaches seem to be teflon when it comes to scrutiny.
