The sport is too big now to try and funnel kids into a school. Probably explains why club blue is about to fold or will fold after this summer. Next Level across all the teams seems to have a good mix of kids from schools all around MOCO and DC |
NL has also been a disaster for years. Maybe they've turned it around, but the club has been unstable since Day 1. |
Maybe it was a disaster 2-3 years ago but it seems pretty stable to me. We came over from Bethesda a season ago and maybe we got lucky but our son loves the coaching on his team.
With club blue about flop and Bethesda still being run by a bunch of a Dad's, NL is emerging as a valid option for Montgomery County and NW DC kids. |
I thought this thread was for IAC lacrosse?
Even more reason to move this to the Sports forum (where there is already a lax thread). Why is this thread allowed on this forum? |
Does the wapo rank hs lax teams preseason?
|
I knew it was going to morph into another one of those threads. |
Let the Landon, Prep and Bullis dads have their fun, ladies. |
Maybe you should stick to what where you doing when DS got rejected from the big 3 schools thread. |
My son declined to go to STA - are they considered big 3 - for another school that has a stronger athletic reputation and a much better lacrosse program.He is now at an Ivy League School. Your kidding yourself if you think Sidwell, Maret and STA are the only schools in the area that offer top flight academics. |
Gonzaga? |
Hah!! We never even applied to big 3. My son is at a Catholic school playing lacrosse with the country's best. We have no interest in your overpriced schools with mediocre lax programs. |
That is fine because we have no interest in your cheap-ass-you-get-what-you-pay-for-poor-academics-and-overly-large-classes Catholic schools that care more about athletics than what matters in the real world (in case you don't know - intelligence and knowledge). |
We are getting what we want in our "cheap-ass-you-get....." because we want a Catholic education, something your schools do not offer. We are thrilled that our son is where he is. We would never apply to your schools because they are lacking what we are looking for in an education. |
Do you need more examples why this thread belongs on the Sports forum? |
Last year Landon picked off a few stars from other IAC teams. Any word on whether this happened again this year? |
