Back of THE CAGE Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM Long Island Lacrosse League : Overdue or Just Right?

how can the NCAA allow that - it is student athlete. Really!

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! It's bad enough it happens with the youth teams!!

Soccer is for the kids that get cut from football

stop with the soccer league should only play in fall. lacrosse is played every month of the year, and not just one game a weekend. There are leagues in the summer, winter, spring and fall, day and night… and on top of these leagues there are tournaments every weekend, one and two dayers, in and out of state … and the laxers pay their clubs handsomely to play in them. The number of lax games the kids play far exceeds the number of soccer games played in both seasons combined.

College coaches are pushing a plan to change soccer from a fall sport to a year-round sport, with the championship in June rather than December. If all goes as hoped, the plan could enter the NCAA legislative pipeline in January and, if approved, the 2016 season would become the 2016-17 season. The season would be split, with 15 games played in traditional fall season, and then after a winter break, 10 more games and the postseason in the spring.
“I think it certainly is an interesting time right now for college soccer,” said SLU coach Mike McGinty. “With the success of the World Cup, pro franchises popping up all over the place, the crowds, the TV contracts, a lot is happening right now at a really accelerated rate. lot of people trying to get us to evolve,
