Everything is the problem my kid is playing basketball, lacrosse and soccer this spring. There aren't enough days in the week but at a young age how do you choose one over the other? And everthing is starting by kindergarten or 1st grade trying to lock the kids up


This the 2014 High School thread. If your daughter is playing varsity lacrosse, she should not be playing those other sports while in season.

The problem with all the travel programs is not all girls are up to travel. As these new programs will find out in a hurry when they play any real tournament. Only 3 or 4 programs from the island can handle themselves at these legit tournaments and that is only the top team or two from the age group. The 5th and 6th team from these clubs don't belong at the tournaments either.Lets face it, all the good varsity programs are driven by club produced talent, period. [/quote]

THere are more than a handful of Nassau JV teams that have folded or can barely field because of low player numbers. You have the hyper motivated and then the rest who have left the game after not having a great experience. I get the fact that GC probably has 75% of their squad playing club but what about the schools where its only a handful? A storm is brewing [/quote]

GC kids have to play travel. The PAL program is awful. It's run by one guy and a bunch of self proclaimed board members who only care about advancing their own mediocre kids.

The difference is no kid appears to have been left in the game to be a stat builder, Longwood did not have a single kid score over 3 goals or 3 assists which makes it seem as if the coach put limits on the kids. Your precious SE team had one kid virtually score as many as the top 2 Longwood kids combined.

you are absolutely correct. but cant watch for every game that girls or teams run up scores. the teams that run up the scores like that are teams that arent that good (weak), just trying to get recognition for beating up a very weak team.

Islip, Longwood, Westhampton, Elwood/john glenn, center moriches, connetquot, Kings park, smith east, bellport, are some of these teams. weak, never won anything, never will, have history of being badddddddddddddddddddddd.

Those sisters are complete ball hogs with no shame , not only are they stat builders but ridiculous show boats constantly shooting behind their backs etc., Going to be ugly today when they run it up against a very weak center moriches team, their coach and parents should be so proud.

What kind of coach allows that? Isn't that demoralizing to the rest of the team?

That raises an interesting question....As a sub on a team with depth and obvious top line starters, what is the benefit of staying on the team, especially as a freshman or Sophmore? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to play for JV and possibly play every day, more reps, more exposure, etc!
Particularly at certain positions such as attack, goalie, etc. The only way to get better is to play in games and live action. All too often, I see parents make a stink and accept nothing less than having their kids on the "better" team, yet they don't play. This in no way helps the player better their skills and develop as a player.

All the crazies want to say their kid was a 4 year varsity player, we have people that actually want to be 5 year players coming up from 8th grade even if they don't play. Makes for great personal player resume stuff. No one wants to go to travel practice and be the only 9th or 10th grader not playing varsity GOT TO KEEP UP. If lacrosse keeps driving out the non travel player you will see more and more younger players playing varsity out of a need for bodies.

Bottom line is the player that plays more will improve in skills. That being said, not everyone is at the same starting point. By keeping a player on a team as a spectator from the sidelines, the risk of being surpassed by someone the next year or less skilled or even younger but playing every day is possible as that player gets more exposure and reps. Than what? The player that doesn't play now will never see the field in the future either.

Another way to look at it is if the JV program has a lot of girls on it and except for the few girls who did not make varsity it is not too strong. It may help a player to practice with better players every day then practice and play with a lower level. Just a thought

Disagree....
There is far less "live" game action and pressure only practicing. You cannot replace real pressure situations in real games. Playing everyday will expose the player to pressure situations and decision making opportunities every game. At the outside chance an opportunity comes up that the player plays on the "better" team, it will most likely be when the score is extremely lopsided one way or the other. No pressure situations. How does that help develop the player?
Playing on the "lower" team will provide challenges and improve the player for the future.

Makes Great sense ,Just be realistic with yourselves if your daughter is on the bubble between Varsity and JV don't push the envelope of having her play Varsity so you can sit in the stands and pound your chest that your daughter is wearing a varsity uniform at a younger age 7/8/9/10th grade such is like the majority of the parents we know that have their kids playing up on the big V and have turned into a total monster , like instances "without their daughter on this team" syndrome becomes unbearable , when they hardly are on the field or there was no other choice but to take that particular player do to a positional drought. You want as much playtime for your daughter as possible in game situations , but keep one thing in mind that 90% of your daughters skill advancement is from practicing not from games which at that time they need to apply what they learned from practicing against resistance . This can all be done at the age appropriate bracket , when they get into the Varsity level chances are they will supercede the ones who been there all along with minimal playtime.

That's not always the case because unfortunately in todays lax world politics seem to have more weight than skill set
