i dont see a conflict. if its true that the melville summer team plays all 25-29 (whatever the #) players, how is this a problem? i assume making the summer team is tough, most spring varsity rosters are closer to 40 & they have a 2nd team gold, which is a jv team. There was a previous post about a funnel & how the numbers of players widdles down as the palyers get older. so its about 50 -55 players for the summer. if your NOT in the top 50 of your hs, are you recruit level? these coaches are not strong arming anyone, thats alot of nonsense. if you get get cut these teams (& this is why they have tryouts in Aug) so you can go to a club & find a home. get real with your kid, just because you or your kid wants to play college lacrosse are you really capable? odds are if your not making the cut now, chill out with being so obsessed with getting recruited. Tons of college club teams to play for & will give you a great lax experience etc. |
