My son attended Brine last year too and it was a great experience. He was exposed to lacrosse talent from all over the country and it was a great insight. Lacrosse transcends Long Island and when you strip away the team, each player comes to Brine with their own skill and talent. It's up to each player to represent themselves as best as possible and part of that is to learn how to adjust their game to play with different players with different backgrounds. It was as much a maturity and mental game experience as a sheer talent showcase. Our son loved it and it was a terrific for him and I'm happy as parents that we were able to see what he got from it. If you can get into Brine, it's great, hands down, if you don't... work hard because it's worth the experience.
