On the boys side, they have had college commits each of the last 2 years, if that is something important to your family.

And Sidwell had a commit this year too. Not many by the standards of Landon or Bullis or Prep, but that aside, impressive by national standards.

Best (by far) girl player at Sidwell just left to play at Visi for high school. Sadly, Maret doesn't have any top girl players from 8th grade up. Maybe with a new coach they may attract some.

Visi seems to pilfer the better players from other schools.

Maret has not, in the past, put much emphasis on girls' sports -- they do recruit heavily for boys' basketball and for baseball, and at times for football. Maybe they are now putting some emphasis on girls' athletics. To be fair, very small co-ed school -- hard to field good teams in everything -- but important to note how much their emphasis has been on a couple of boys' sports.

This is very true nd it totally turned my very athletic (and very academic) DD off the school. The one positive before now in Maret's favor is the girls' varsity basketball coach. She is fantastic.

I think there should be a thread called "DELETE THIS THREAD" devoted just to you. It can appear prominently on the sports forum and you can voice your opinion on what should appear included in the different forums.

Having one commit is hardly impressive "by national standards". Sidwell did just hire a new boys lax coach. Hopefully he can turn around a pathetic program. There are some very dedicated players and parents there, but the coaching history and prior AD really hindered the program. Maret has done a great job with an excellent coach, despite having a similarly small pool of players to draw from .

When comparing lax recruits from STA, Landon, Prep, Gonzaga, and SJC, who has the most on average each year?

[Anonymous]

Landon or Gonzaga or Georgetown Prep.

Landon, Prep or Gonzaga average at least 6 commits per year, and often higher. SJC and St. Albans fewer, more like 2 a year.

Are you asking about D1 commits or all commits? If all commits, those numbers are higher.

I'm a different poster, but it seems to me D3 commits should "count" also. In which case I agree in any given year the commit numbers could be double that.

By the way, "all boy" schools will probably have more lacrosse commits...
