US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) CHAMINADE Lacrosse. Stories and news.

Well what came first the chicken or the egg? The kids who already had the talent wouldn't be going there if the program wasn't already built. What built the program? The coach, the academic reputation of the school and the club team feeder system. Hard to duplicate on Long Island. Success breeds success unless more schools can knock them off going forward. A tall task.

I don't know if they send more kids to the D1 ranks than any other strong program but I think that both Chaminade and St Anthony's have produced more D1 All Americans than any other LI schools over the past 10 years.

What came first and is still the big thing is the club team not the HS teams..sorry

U are dead wrong , my guy did not play for big time club team, started a playoff game
At Hofstra in playoff HS game has a Soph and the phone was ringing like crazy, keep giving
Your money away .

Wow, thats great. Did your son play in summer tournaments or go to recruiting events?

Did he only play HS Lacrosse? Where did he end up going to school?

D1, good school , good money, no club ball, suck it.

I'm surprised your arrogance didn't blow it for your son. Great for him. He is prob a monster athlete and sometimes don't need club . Most of the time kids do unless they are a special athlete.

you're probably responding to a prepubescents' rant…..

I guess those college coaches were done? Or did they ask for special video of your sons fantastic play

Many kids do have the talent pre Catholic school but they go to get challenged, both in practice and those non league games. Publics only play 3 or 4 challenging D1 worthy games. Catholics play only 3 or 4 pushovers (yes they are in league).

Best way to prep for D1 is go Catholics (Chaminade and St. Anthony's) especially if from a mid level school district.

The best way to prep is to play a very good club schedule and with good club teammates...The HS schedule is easy compared to that

What world do you live in?

Club lacrosse is good for recruiting purposes, but to compare club games to high level high school lacrosse is just silly.

Okay, I hear you. I raise your club team comment and see you a HS team who is comprised of at least 10-15 boys who play competitive club lacrosse and the balance also playing on the club circuit.

You say the Club circuit and their schedule are tougher... yes, it may be but practicing everyday with the above mentioned talent on a HS team (like Chaminade/St. Anthony's) has value. On LI, I dont think anyone can argue The best challenge for a dedicated player is playing on a competitive Club team and on one of those HS teams.

Whats going on with the front of Chaminade Jericho Turnpike side. ripping up fields? for new ones?

New science and technology building

outdoor pool

You really think that practicing every day at chammy or st a is any different than WI, WM, SME or SMW? Throw in games against those schools plus conetquot, northport, hhh e and sachem north...throw in non league games against chammy and yorktown...LI publics no worse off than chammy and st a...

plenty of public school kids going d-1 at all the big name schools and ivies...

Oh, maybe they will actually be able to compete in a science competition, haven't seen them do anything in that dept......ever!

I hear the debate team is awesome and the holy rosary relay team is tops in the nation!

Still with all that one of the top lacrosse teams in the country

not one of the best...THE BEST

st. A's is cleaning up with the incoming with next year's incomimg '20 group.

Jealous parents. Kids not smart enough to get accepted? Starts with the parents....LOL

So at least another 3 maybe 4 years of Chaminade domination. Not good news for the Friars.

You're right, Maybe not at those schools but at any other iof the 43 schools left in Suffolk. If you don't go to those schools and have a lax enthusiast move or go catholic.

Yes, very different. Just check on the number of Devision 1 All Americans over the past five or 10 years. West Islip might compare and Smithtown West put out a great player but that is about it. How many Devision 1 All Americans has Smithtown East produced? (i really don't know). I don't think Ward Melville has produced a Devision 1 All American who graduated HS in the past 15 years. They are all strong programs but they are not preparing their players to excel at the Devision 1 level.

Sorry about the spelling... Division

How is St Doms these days or SJB (Lots of young talent)

Doms got a good 2019 (surprise) - will likely play Varsity

Doms has nice junior/senior class that should make some noise...SJB is very young..

SJB is young. Heard there are multiple freshmen and sophomores on varsity. Unlike some, they play the best players regardless of class.

In the long run? Chaminade has been producing high quality lacrosse players since the 1970s. The have consistently executed on just about every metric that matters. They execute in the classroom and on the field and yes the send a very large number of kids to great college lacrosse programs. Why would they ever change their ways? Jack Moran has a system that seems to work pretty darn well. I wouldn't hold my breath expecting them to change.

And no my kid does not go to Chaminade.

Listen to yourself. SUBMIT has done nothing. The pool of players there is very shallow as a result they must bring up underclassmen

I guess spell check got ya. SJB is supposed to be where submit is.

OMG you didn't actually say that.....did you.....I can't believe a father would stoop so low What next .....you going to tell me my grandmother wears army boots ...LOL. If you don't like it here's a suggestion stay out of it

OMG you didn't actually say OMG...did you....how old are you 14?....and female?......

I can't believe what this once great sport has turned into. Parents arguing with other parents , putting kids down , putting schools ( like Chaminade ) down , it's unreal. People, it's lacrosse. Half the kids don't even want to play anymore because of you and they are to afraid to tell you. I hope you feel good now.

Would you prefer I stoop to your level!!! Please grow up and move on First the oh and we have girls comment Real tough now this Please as I said if you don't like it stay out of it Obiviously you can't handle it Grow up Move on

Chaminade's Science Team just finished 8th out of 405 HS's in NY State. Highest ranked Catholic.

You were saying......

The above was in response to the guy a page or so back who said they'd never seen CHS ever do anything in science. BTW, it was some NYS Science Olympiad.
