That is an understatement. The entire event sounds like a sham. If that really is the case, that kids didn't have to tryout but advanced, why aren't more people upset about it. And why aren't those responsible held accountable?

You're going to be waiting a while if you think you are getting an explanation here dude. But answer me this, are those kids on teams playing for state championships, and therefore unable to attend? Additionally, what HS does your son play for? Is the program awful?

Of course nobody will answer them, this is Long Island, nepotism and cronyism run everything. At least someone has the stones to ask questions. I can only answer that I believe the kids in state games were already done. My son did advance and had the same observation. Kids appeared in later games that were not at first tryout. I guess the earlier tryout was based on reputation for some lol.

one of the kids was told if they were all-county they got an invite to the top 50 game.

They are looking for players to complete the team for the state tournament in Albany seems like many dropped out after the Nassau Suffolk game.

Good. The whole thing was a joke. Look at the names running the event. That should tell you everything you need to know about their character. How can they represent LI when kids never got a fair tryout. FACT

The only FACT here is this, your kid didn't make the team so you're upset.

My son made it and yes the above statement is correct. I could give you several names at 2025 alone. Players that were not present on the first days event advanced. Who cares what the reason was. If that is how the event is going to be run than there should be some transparency. Oh wait, these are club lacrosse and hs coaches we're dealing with.

My son didn’t get a fair shot at making the team.

This is why they can’t field a team for the tournament in Albany

Yes there will be the local Suny schools there but you can get that during the year at your local HS

Sure he didn't

Yeah, don't play just to have fun, only lace em up if the"coaches" are there. Ridiculous statement and the exact reason everyone on here makes the same ridiculous complaints every year. No one plays to have fun anymore. You have all killed the sport with your "recruiting" nonsense. Just remember a good tutor and some SAT prep classes and your kid will get a whole lot more money than any "lax ride".

SAT at most schools now are optional way to stay current

Way to deflect from the statement. Typical.
