Brine National Lacrosse Classic - Selection Process
The Brine regional tryout and selection process is standardized as follows:
1. Limit the total number of players
2. 3 hour time limit
3. No player data provided to coaches
4. Jersey numbers are not pre-assigned
5. 10:1 player coach ratio
6. Divide players by positions in to smaller team groups
7. Rotate team groups to drill stations: 1v1, 2v3, 4v4, half field and full field transition
8. Assign evaluators to drill stations
9. Provide evaluators with master player check in list to contain position and jersey number only
10. High school coaches cannot vote for their own players or biological children
11. Player selection is by unanimous vote

Here's a potential problem with the very early commits we are seeing. The kids (and they are kids still) have an expectation both athletically and academically to continue to be a top prospect for the next 4 years of high school. Admit it or not, it is a lot of pressure for most to handle. When they leave high school the real pressure cooker starts. Division 1 athletics is a grind - and yes I know from personal experience. It is very rewarding but it is ultimately a full time job along with studies. So a kid who commits to a top school in 9th grade has 4 years that he has to "perform" because he is expected to as an early commit and then has to continue on an even bigger stage with better, stronger competition. Overall that's 8 years of a tough grind. I know some kids handle it fine, but I would think for others the idea of an early commit and "now I don't have to worry" is shortsighted. You have to ask yourself and your son " Are we committing just to say we committed or are we committing because the school, the program, the offer is everything we could hope for and more? Just one man's thoughts. Really well thought out, I could not agree more. The "paper chase" of a D1 scholarship is fleeting. No matter what these kids need to keep their grades up because it is their grades that will determine where they go and BTW lots of these schools give more merit aid based on their grades than they may get from a 1/4 D1 scholarship.

Is similar available for the Middle School tryout? Apologies however we do not have any additional material exclusively targeted at Middle School players, but the subject did come up during our teleconference. We did discuss the fact that Grades 6 through 8 were grouped together which might have fed some of the posts that you have seen here on BOTC with younger players facing players 24+ months older in the Middle School bracket. This is something that the event will look into potentially changing going forward.

While the MS bracket is open to 6th-8th grade players, it takes a VERY special player to make this sort of team as a 6th grader. The tryout should be open to these players. Shame on the 6th grade parents who bring their children to this and then complain that the 8th graders are too old, too big and too strong. Parents should know better.

I'm not sure how your concern relates to the proposal. The situation that you describe exists today at the HS level, only it is worse because the comparison "Freshman" may be 16 yo. The proposal would not effect those seeking PG yrs- the late bloomers (Rob Pannell, for example). PG is a real option, the offer's exist as you describe, and, for a late bloomer, they represent a real opportunity vs. none at all.
You may have a legitimate concern at the youth level since states have varying school year cut offs, and currently NY is 3 months out of alignment with the USLacrosse age guidelines. Not sure how to resolve, but I think the proposal still has merit and is better than the status quo. Don't you have a job? All you do is post around the Internet on multiple forums bragging about your son's Madlax team. Weird. And you spend all day reading the above mentioned forums...weird Actually, I don't. But whenever I come to this forum (and others), I see that guy posting all the time, so I assume he must visit/post on these boards every day. Bizarre, but I guess some guys live their lives through their kids. I guess he doesn't mind that the Madlax owner is a nightmare.

Now the agenda is clear. For others, I don't use this screen name anywhere else. Let's try the Golden Rule, shall we? Anything of substance to add?

Just observing that seemingly every one of your posts is an apology for the Madlax owner's behavior. What are you going to do when your son leaves the nest?

Yawn, Mr Anon. I have not excused his behavior. Quote me, since you have all day to research my posts. I have been transparent in my intentions. How about you? Now the agenda is clear.

Hey, maybe they can all battle it out at the Hershey Chocolate Shootout or some other kindergarten tournament??? Seriously guys, time to grow up, they are 14yrs old now. No coaches care if you run around dressed in your ninja turtle garanimals, claim to play solely "for the love of the game", or you're a pumlin-colored terp, a scary outlaw, a court jester or the big bad wolf. Focus on going to some showcase/ prospect camps ... and wear your high school helmet. How are all the LONG ISLAND 2017 Teams Looking?

Years of entitlement are catching up to that team. They've already witnessed some defections. Just a matter of time before they blow up.
