like it or not, Garden City is the best program period. In Long Island , Maryland and where ever. Eat your heart out Northport, Hauppauge, Farmingdale, Manhasset, Bayshore. You can't touch them, there record speaks for itself. end of conversation. anyone with half a brain would see this.
Garden City does'nt really have much of a youth program. They play parent-coached PAL like everyone else then go play club lacrosse when they are in 4th grade and are trained by the club teams. The HS team dominates the class B scene in NYS. If they played class A from March to June they would not be as dominant, but still one of the top teams.
I don't think thats true at all. First not every P.A.l. org is the same , some are good and some are not as good, but what they are supposed to do is teach the fundamentals, obviously G.C. does that vey well because they have a long history of lax and many people return to G.C. and in turn , teach them to the younger generation. Not every parent thinks it a good idea to thrust there child into club ball at 8 years old, and 1 or 2 practices a week are nice , but that will not build a team like G.C. I think it's the other way around Clubs rely on schools and parents to make better players , and clubs just showcase them. And lastly, you don't really think that a school with a couple of hundred more kids is really making a difference do you. Do you really think Farmingdale or Northport could stop G.C. if they bumped up to div. A. if you do than your crazy.
