Long Island parent here... you are right. it is a pressure cooker here. no excuses for classless behavior - but consider this:
when you take over taxed long islanders, in a bad economy, trying to pay for expensive training, club teams, showcase camps, time away from work, every weekend of summer on searing hot fields...
only for the desperate hope that your son or daughter can get a better education, and or scholarship money... so they don't have to struggle in the same way.
Long Island Lax is NO Longer considered the noval sport of choice for the wealthy elite. Long Island Lax is main steam! Much larger pools of athletes, more pressure to stay competitive...
