its not about winning championships? lax is a team sport, correct? are you saying its all about getting little johnny recruited? if so, your in the wrong sport. i think too many parents do not care how their hs team does during the season & if johnny gets his 4 goals a game he gunna get recruited...yea for jihnny!!! some teammate he is.
The off season should be about helping all players improve. The HS should be about winning but in the off season kids should not be restricted.
WM has been a dominant team for the better part of 40 years, what they do in a few summer tournaments has not been the reason for their dominance.
What takes place in three village is wrong.
The HS coaches and the three village board coerce and bully families into playing only for three v / WM even when it is not in the best interest of the player.
At a Town Hall Meeting the HS coaches and three village board members stood up and told the community "We have the best coaches here in three village, there is no need to go anywhere else".
Do you know how many three village board members send their kids to private lessons and clinics that they do not tell the rest of the team or league about?
If the best coaches are in three village why send them to an outside clinic?
I do not have an issue with the HS coach wanting to work with his players in the off season but the way it is being done at WM is wrong.
If money is changing hands it is a major conflict of interest.
If there is an implied threat it is wrong.
If it is not in the best interest of the player it is wrong.
Winning at the HS should be a priority for the HS coach but what they do in the off season could be altered in order to better prepare for the Varsity season.
Limited practice and five meaningless tournaments is not he best way to prepare for the Varsity Season.
