Are the sub patterns really that limited for a team like Landon? Seems a little low if you consider 3 attack, 2 O middie lines, 2-3 DM, 1 LSM, 3 d-poles, 1 FOGO, 1 goalie for any given game. That gets you to around 18 already without ever subbing the attack, poles, or FOGO. Seems like the number that play would be more like 20-24 if you have that kind of depth. So just curious if the elite teams in the area really stick with only 17 ever playing real minutes?

you sir are reading way too much into this post.

If you are a parent, and are worried about little Johnny's playing time, you might want to consider why your son is even playing the sport in the first place.

Never understand the constant need on this thread to insult the parent/kid regarding playing lacrosse. People are allowed to ask questions and try to understand on how teams operate and have feelings with how coaches run their programs.

It is always better to complain directly to the coach about playing time for your son. The best time is just after the game or even near the end of the game.

We need to allow helicopter nightmare parents to ask about how to complain about PT because they lack social manners, common sense and decency.

No, halftime is best. Although sometimes you have to wait in line.

That's very clever, sir. Not the most recent PP, the rosters are way larger than what could reasonably field playing time for that amount of kids - tryouts and cuts are based on that reality. Let's look at this from a classroom perspective. Does your HS kid have 47 kids in his math class? Is that math teacher a complete candyass who prefers to leverage his/her power over teenage kids under the guise of "helping kids be independent" or they available for discussion and appreciate parental support?

"Let's look at this from a classroom perspective." That is a lousy analogy. I am a lacrosse fan and played the sport in HS and college. With that perspective, the classroom matters. This is what will prepare a young man or woman for life. You pay a lot of money to send a student to an IAC school. It is fair to discuss the educational program with the faculty. Parent teacher meetings are common and part of the experience. Sports are an optional enhancement. Sports such as lacrosse are for all the kids on the team not just one kid. The coach, who is often paid very little does not owe a parent any explanation for who plays/who does not and why. Your asking or time used to pander to you is a team distraction. This is a top league with top players. You should also not overstep your son's role in learning how to cope with this recreational activity. Does a college coach owe you the same support? Unless you coach or play you have no other role on the team except cheering good play.

Not really - I've never complained about playing time for my kids.

I too played lacrosse in HS and college (D1 national championship team for that matter--though admittedly I rarely saw play that year) and I think you're a total jerk. If lacrosse coaches don't like the pay, then they shouldn't do it. Nobody is forcing them to. Oh, and if you knew anything about schools like St. Albans, then you'd know that in fact, these kids are required to play sports. They are not "optional enhancements." Could they pick track over lacrosse? Sure, but should they be forced to play a sport and then have to pick one they don't enjoy. And if the coach selects them for the team then the coach does owe an explanation for his humiliation of so many players. I wish my DCs had never gotten into this sport. I don't know a single lacrosse father, whether he actually played, or just lives vicariously though his son, that isn't a total jerk. So go put your visor back on get out there to cheer on your lax bro star!

The coach should have communication with his PLAYERS, he owes you nothing! Have your son go out for fencing. This way you do not have to deal with all of the JERK lacrosse people who treated you poorly in college while you were the towel boy for the lacrosse team. At least you have an old JHU towel somewhere in the closet.

Not a boy. And my teammates treated me great. Had a great time in college. And I am now really successful and pay a fortune to send my kids to a good school and give much much more on top of that. And yes, for that reason, I do think the coach should explain to the players who are getting screwed (by the way, I don't consider my DS one of them--he's no star, but he hangs in there and is having a great time). The point is that he doesn't. Just another d-bag lax bro who knows most of these guys that he can humiliate now will be far and away ahead of him in life in no time. It's his only way of feeling like a top dog and it's pathetic.

8-6 Landon won over SJC

both teams are going to be very good in the next season two. Both rosters are filled with young talent.
