Year around lacrosse is driven by the clubs and the families willing to pay. National teams, individual showcases like Best in Class, Showtime, Juniors Open, eight plus club events during the year, and prospect days.

Most boys lacrosse players in the area play in at least twelve events throughout the year.

Agree some of the top players are playing 10-12 per year. So really no time for the other sports. I would guess 4-5 guys play another sport (Football, Hockey or Soccer).

Sounds like you have no idea what the bar is.

Chophouse Jr is good. All the Giblin people can’t stand the fact that the administration won’t listen to them. It’s just lacrosse.

The alums from the Giblin era think the program has turned into a club program under Urick. Scott did himself no favors by pushing out former coaches from the Giblin era, some of them are even Prep alums.

I still can't figure out why Coach Kubick, a Prep alum who coached with Giblin for 20+ years, whom his former players fervently revere, is the offensive coordinator at archrival Landon... If the Prep administration had a brain, they would find a way to bring Kubick back home.

Prep will struggle this Spring.

Kubick knew people at Landon when Healy left, didn't have connections to Prep any more. It was a great move by Landon coaches to get him.

Agree with you that it was a great move by Landon coaches to bring Kubick onto their staff however Kubick has plenty of connections at GP still.

1. He is a GP alum
2. Not only did he coach lax for 20+ years.... he was the HC of their wrestling program and transformed Hoyas a mid-Atlantic powerhouse and even had the Hoyas nationally ranked a years.
3. He is very well connected with several GP alums, and former parents, boosters of Prep - some with very deep pockets.
4. He still teaches at Mater Dei and is revered by current parents and students

If Urick and the administration had a pulse, they'd find a way to bring him back to Hoya country and get him out of Bear country! Otherwise, expect to see Landon on the up-swing in lacrosse and GP simply become complacent.

Didn't the really good SJC middie's family go to GP? Why are families choosing different schools?

The bloodline loyalty to school era has passed.

SJC is effectively a year-round lacrosse program, which is great for kids and families looking for that.

It's pathetic that some of these area HS coaches are turning their programs into year-round lax training.

The two best high school coaches to ever come out of the DC area, maybe in the state of MD, are Bordley (Landon) and Giblin (GP). These coaches encouraged their players to play a second or sometimes a third sport.

Bordley and Giblin are legends, yes, but the landscape of 2024 has changed. Increased sport specialization, the social media age, club landscape, and a narrower funnel to D1 men's lacrosse are all a recipe for some programs to adopt a year-round model. Don't indict SJC for it, it's just a different model.

No one else finds it even remotely coincidental that St John’s also has about 2-3x the amount of acl and labrum injuries as any other school in the dmv? Of course, this is all anectodal info from my experience with a son at a high level of lax and knowing all of his friends.

All Next Level players. Too much lacrosse. Summer, and fall lacrosse.
Thank the former recruiting coordinator for forcing feeding Next Level.

It’s funny how you throw in ACLs to make it sound worse. Lol

This is a bad take.

Injury prevention is a focal point for all of the DMV programs of SJC's caliber.

Clubs are not incentivized to manage overuse and the demand for year round lacrosse tournaments is growing (Winter Box, Circuit, Alliance).

Most elite boys in the DMV play for 3 teams through middle school (Hoco, Circuit, National), while also playing football, soccer, or basketball in fall/winter seasons.

"Overuse" and "too much lax" is not a high school phenomenon.

Pretty sure they have had one ACL since speaks has been the coach. that happened during a game at PVI a few years ago. How would that have been SJCs fault?

What is the point of having your son play on 3 different club teams?

Thank God my son is through the club lax madness (his current son is in college at a D1 program). My son played varsity football in the fall (maybe he played in 2 fall ball tournaments in November with his club team) and did very little in the winter except speed/strength with his high school program (IAC) and captain shoot arounds.

Kids are playing way too much these days and as someone pointed out, routine use of the same muscle groups at the MS/ US level, will naturally lead to injury due to over-use and even surgery. The amount of MS and freshman athletes who have shoulder, hip, and back injuries is very alarming.

The club programs don't seem to care too much about injury prevention because it will cut into their top-line revenue.

If you are on a good club team the one team plays HOCO in the spring and 4 summer tournaments. No need to play more than that. Not sure how you play football and soccer during the same season but I guess of your football program doesn't require commitment and you have fomo go for it. Basketball is unnecessary wear and tear on the body in my opinion.

The number of lacrosse players on basketball rosters is smaller and smaller every year at most schools. My son is a 2027 and is playing high school hoops, but I can only think of a handful of others in the class still playing.

I believe only refs and coaches have been sent the schedule. Some may have chose to share it.

What many younger/first time parents forget is that if your kid is lucky enough to play D1 (not so much D2/3, but more program by program) lacrosse becomes a full time job that your kid better love. If he/she doesn't love playing, they will never make it/quit/work at the level that is needed for college. If your kid is good enough, don't play as much in the Fall/Winter; do the Spring HS season and a modified summer. If you can't tell if your kid is good enough, he/she probably isn't. And college coaches don't except "fatigue" as a reason for poor play.
Play another sport; it'll do them more good than you know. Burn out in college is a real thing.
