Again, super wierd that teams play for district titles and even if you lose, you can be put back into a state playoff. Most other states and sports certainly have district titles but once that happens, only the winner of the district advances. Shrugs shoulders.[/quote]

This is the problem for all the sports in Virginia.  The regular season means very little- all the teams make district playoffs regardless of how they did during the regular season/ non district games mean very little.  The season extends for weeks.  IMHO the district championship should go to the team with the best record in the regular season. Only district champs should make the regional tournament and only regional champs should make the state championship.  You would cut weeks off the season and reduce the strain of coaches and refs and not interfere with graduation prom summer club etc [/quote]

Yeah, screw the kids who want to play!!

We are talking what maybe 1 game (maybe 2) for most teams and allows the season to end at somewhat of a normal time frame. This would allow various kids, particularly seniors, to enjoy their last couple of weeks of school before heading off to college or their next adventure. I can assure you not all the kids on the team feel more lacrosse is better.

It would also eliminate the participation trophy aspect of this.[/quote]

If a senior doesn't want to play out the string of the last 1-2 weeks then they are free to quit. Just because your kid wasn't playing on a good team and can't manage to be a big boy and show up doesn't mean other teams shouldn't get the chance to play their final games.

I actually think the PP has a point. The lax season for some of these teams is pushing into mid-June.  For the lax rats - some kids are missing club practices and club tournaments where they could be getting recruited (college coaches aren't coming to the VHSL playoffs). Other kids are missing out on making money with a summer job. And of course - some are just missing out on summer fun.

Even if you keep regional and state playoffs to the same format, it wouldn't affect things much at all to just shorten the regular season by two weeks. You're talking about cutting 3-4 games, and can still have about a 12 game regular season schedule. That's what most of the privates are doing for regular season, and they don't have 2 sets of playoffs to potentially play in. [/quote]

If your kid doesn't want to play in the state championship game then maybe they don't actually like lacrosse that much.

We're not cutting the season for 100-200 players because 4 players are whining about "too much winning". JFC this is lame.[/quote]

Get a grip. It's beyond reasonable, and only cuts out 3-4 pointless games. All the kids still get to play for championships AND have choices for their summer. The only people negatively affected are the sad parents who have nothing better to do but watch their kids play half-speed lacrosse. [/quote]
