great school = great lacrosse tradition - good luck this year boys beat St A

I don't live in NewYork, is it true that you have to be a Junior or Senior to play Varsity at Chaminade

I have heard that this is the case. Their JV team must be lights out having committed kids play on the JV. I have known some freaks of nature that were in 10th grade I could not imagine them playing JV as 10th grade especially football.

How about the 9th grader who is better then the senior but has to wait his turn.

He's not, and that's what you knowingly signed up for ! That 9th grader doesn't even get to play JV. They play on all freshman team.

You know that when you enroll,its the families choice

I think there have been 2 sophomores in the last 10 years who got called up to play on varsity. Never a freshman. And everyone knows that going in. Moran's 500 wins and who knows how many D-1 players that have played for him are testament to a system that seems to work pretty well. May not be for everyone and if that is the case, don't have your kid take the test to get in.

All while my son has been lighting it up on varsity since freshman year for a great public school program, and I mean great athletically as well as academically. He will go to a top 20 school with enough AP credits to enter with sophomore standing. And he has the excitement and experience of 4 years of varsity. Is there really even a debate?

It's a bunch of BS and needs to change. There's no reason why it has to be such a rigid system with no flexibility. Paying customers (parents) need to unite and rise up to storm the fortress. We need regime change! It's such a happy go lucky place with free will in so many other ways and so it should be with lax as well.

what an arrogant jerk. Hope he doesn't turn out like you after the lax is over.

That's so not the norm. Congrats to your prodigy. If you were all that there would be no need to trash talk on a Chamnade thread.

Not trash talking, just stating facts. And my son is certainly not the only one. Go to WM,Syosset, SE,GC,etc, you will find many similar stories. If you are happy at Cham, that's great. Just suggesting many publics offer the kids a better overall experience. Oh,and there are girls!

The old I don't live in New [lacrosse].

Good luck to you as well. While we are rivals (and fierce ones) there is always respect for your school and your program. Go Friars!
