As the post states, "there are exceptions to the rule."

Lets see if it continues in WI. Times have changed since NG was in grade school. The post also says that "early commits developed their skills on a club team and eventually were identified and recruited." We are talking about the kids that are committing before playing their sophomore year of HS Lacrosse.

From what I have seen, many of the West Islip kids play for Select Club Teams at the youth and ms/jhs level. From what I have been told SC has no problem with it.

Lacrosse is growing at a rapid pace and the people who advocate restricting players and limiting the players lacrosse experience are not helping the kids.

Please identify a sport or anything else where the most talented kids are told that if they want to be the best that they can be they must play only with other kids who live in their zip code.

And yes, If the HS Summer program is a for profit business I think there is a clear conflict of interest. If there is no profit not so much a conflict.
