Would really like to know what’s going on at SSSA. Biggest drop off I may have ever seen.

SSSAS had been buoyed by strong rec programs in the area, specifically Alexandria Lacrosse Club (ALC), and to a lesser extent Fort Hunt. They were always able to attract/ recruit a few top players from NOVA to supplement the roster. As rec lacrosse has died out, kids from Alexandria have largely shifted from playing lacrosse to playing soccer, and the school’s natural attrition well is pretty dry. Blackwolf falling off a cliff has also hurt their recruiting efforts.

Appreciate the insight.

Hopefully the program can find its footing and re-establish themselves as a strong alternative to kids going across the river to Gonzaga or making the trek to Landon or Bullis.

I also think that SSSA is not as good academically as it used to be. I think families are realizing it is not worth the cost.
