Another person missing the point...not about one kid, about a system where HS coaches are strong arming all kids in their disctrict to either play (and Pay) for their travel team or forget about playing HS lax...
Come on people, you don't see this as a major conflict? HS coaches should be banned from running clinics and teams in the sprots they coach at the HS level.
Unlike college coaches, most LI public HS coaches are not professional coaches, they are teachers that coach for the extra cash. They teach bio and math and spanish and gym, they dont get their jobs because they are great coaches in any sport, they get their jobs because they can teach bio and math...
They are using their positions of power to force people to pay them. Plain and simple, conflict of interest.
Really come on. The great programs make room for a good coach who happens to be a teacher. When a great coach who runs a great program decides to step down his predecessor is already picked from either a core of assistant coaches from within or a bug name coach. With the cost of living on Long Island getting more and more expensive teachers and coaches must supplement their income and if they are a name in the lacrosse world he will draw. Now we are going to tell teachers they can't tutor on the side.
