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]

It sounds like your son may not like lacrosse and didn't win anything. I can assure you my son's team was extremely happy to win regionals, ESPECIALLY the seniors, most of whom won't play organized sports ever again. Also, you know that there is a whole summer between the end of high school and the start of college, right? If your son would rather start bussing tables at Chili's a week earlier instead of spending time with his teammates, that's too bad.

Also, what participation trophies? There are no literal trophies, and the "reward" for going through to the next round is busting your butt in practice in VA heat in June and having another hard-fought game, how is that a blue ribbon for everyone? People are just throwing "participation trophy" out mindlessly every time they don't like something about youth sports, it makes zero sense here.[/quote]

So, my son loves lacrosse and is moving on to college. His season has been over for a while because he plays for a private.

I guess public school parents don't understand euphemisms when I say participation trophy...regional banner. Same thing different object. Do you think anyone at the 20 year reunion will care in the least that some team won a regional title...make that anyone at all. I can see it now "Introducing the senior class that won the Division 6A, b regional title when the moon was full - but didn't win the regional title when the moon was waningthat went to team g" No. they won't. it is either state title or nothing. The fact schools hang banners for these "accomplishments" is amusing and further proof it is just a participation banner - it is kind of like the Wizards hanging a banner when they won the 2017 Southeast Division title. Big deal.

Saying that I don't have a problem with regional titles if it actually meant something. In this case, Madison beat Yorktown, YT team should be looking for the tv remote, golf clubs, working on their tan...whatever. The shouldn't be preparing for a game. Make the regional title means something instead of just a reworking of the state playoff bracket.
