Only on here to vent . My kid plays on a fairly successful high school team that is full of D1 commits . The chemistry on the team has been terrible for years and now one of the causes of that has given the administration an ultimatum. Simply put this player and her parents have been outcasts from the rest of the team due to their behavior and were going to move to the neighboring district , the rest of the team would have been better off . Instead they met with the administration to say they were being bullied by the coaches, players , parents and that if their superstar does not receive the highest end of season award on the team there would be a lawsuit . Apparently the administration has caved to their demands , honestly the award thing is ridiculous as who cares and the player is not the best player on the team but the main issue is the team chemistry will be even worse making it another miserable season for these kids . Unfortunately the kids know much of what’s going on and I have had conversations with mine to just ignore the drama.
Hard to believe. Sounds more like you're jealous. and with all those D1 commits I'm sure you will win states and all will be happy.
Sounds more like you have a kid who no one likes . My kid is not a starter on this team , plays a bunch but has no aspirations of getting higher end of year awards and I just actually want her to enjoy the year .Will not win the states and one of the reasons why is that the team chemistry is toxic.
What the Riverhead parent doesn’t understand is that the AA (highest award )are voted on by the head coaches it can’t be just given to a player it is earned.
Not exactly accurate.
Head coaches can nominate "their" player but there is a small committee that decides who (of the nominated players) will be named All-American. It is not as if "all of the coaches vote". Suffolk County (section XI) is allowed "8" AA's by US-Lacrosse and although the majority of players who earn the accolade are deserving the selection process is political and bias. Obviously if a players HS or Club coach is on the committee they have a better chance.
All-County is determined by two factors, 1- where your team finished the regular season and 2 - your high school coach. Where your team finishes the regular season will dictate how many All-County slots your coach gets. The Top Team will obviously receive more slots than lower teams. The coaches do not vote on it.
