[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why does Indy being state runner up matter? that was last year and a team heavy with Seniors who are now gone. She would have to try out still, make the team, and even need to make an impact on that team...... I could see all the uproar if this was a USA All American, or a top 100 player in the country... Again this isn't the IAAM or WCAC..... it would harm no one, not even the prior school to at least allow the kid to try out, or even play, it all seems very silly... [/quote]

Kind of mixed on this one. On one side those who attend Loudoun public schools know the transfer rule and requirement to sit out sports for a year. I believe this also includes a student needing to sit out for a year even when moving into a new school zone. So, before pursuing this option one better have all their ducks in a row if they want to play sports following a transfer. This would not be the first time a transfer student was denied a waiver to play sports at another Loudoun school.

On the other side, and highlighted above, this seems to be a player who will have minimal impact at Indy. She’s committed to Kenyon College, not necessarily a lacrosse hotbed for top talent. Don’t buy into the college commit hype, Kenyon would lose to many college club teams. So, really no big advantage gained by the student or Indy by her playing lacrosse at her new school.

What is at issue is this student appears to have intentionally bypassed two closer high schools to play for her club coach. Which falls in line with why Loudoun has their transfer policy in place. We all want student safety first, but in this case the student had other reasonable options to remedy the problem she allegedly experienced at LR by attending a closer high school. Everyone needs to play within the rules, which the Indy coach should have known well and this player's parents should have educated themselves on. Hoping something will work out is never a great strategy.[/quote]
