[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also suggest PVI and other schools work hand-in-hand with reputable local clubs, churches and lower schools to provide them with very low cost access to fields and facilities so they don't have to bring in kids, i.e. basketball players, from areas well over an hour away. They can't be proactive if their time is diverted away by dealing with activities which should be club sports and self-supported.[/quote]

PVI's basketball team would be awful if they could only bring in local kids. [/quote]

That's the trade off. A very, very low number of those basketball players will ever contribute back to the school. Once they are gone, they are gone and feel as though the school owed it to them and not the other way around. It's cool they are really good but it doesn't do much for the school. It's not increasing enrollment or donations or gpa. Shellenberger is a great example. He hasn't been seen or heard from since. It kind of looks good guys are going to Duke but those hoops players are actually taking away consideration for the regular student. Duke and IE are not taking a bunch of kids from one Catholic school. For the op, basketball isn't the issue towards participation in JV lacrosse. [/quote]
