lISTEN I BELIEVE THE CLUB TEAMS HAVE BENEFITED NOT THE KIDS THESE KIDS THAT YOU TALK ABOUT WOULD HAVE BEEN RECRUITED WITHOUT YOUR CLUB TEAM THESE INDIVIDUALS PUT THE CLUBS ON THE MAP. IF ANYONE OF THOSE KIDS STAYED WITH THERE SCHOOL PROGRAM THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN RECRUITED. SO YES PLAYER S FROM mELVILLE ,wEST . sMITHTOWN WEST AND EAST, West Islip would have been recruited even if they played for there home teams. you at the clubs benefit. you blow alot of smoke up peoples butt and collect the money and many kids don't get recruited . all the players from your a programs would have been recuited no matter where they played i will be impressed when you b,c,d and e team kids get recruited.
That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. Hopefully your child benefited from it. That is not the issue! The issue is that parents and kids should have the opportunity to choose their own path without it being held against them by their Varsity coach. Sure some kids will be seen playing for their HS team, some won't and would be better off with their travel team! When it comes down to it the coaches want to make MONEY and this is an easy way to do it!
