[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do any of these schools allow their coaches to foster this conflict of interest with their work on outside clubs? Even my DS's private, which is not one of the super strong programs, has staffed most of its coaches with Madlax staff and coaches and all those club players are given much more opportunity. As an example, three freshman played varsity--all three were Madlax. It did not shed a good light on what is supposed to be a well-rounded school. This clearly happens with the girls and the clubs as well. I think the HS leagues should come together and say no outside coaching. Eliminate the favoritism and the pay-to-play. I couldn’t agree more[/quote] It can be a problem for sure but schools will have a hard time finding coaches due to the constraints of the position: weekday work for 2-3 hours during normal business hours for very low pay along with games during evening hours and weekends for only 3 months. In your specific example at a school that's not super strong, the Madlax kids probably are very skilled and might stand out as a way to build the program. But if you and other parents think there is blatant favoritism than you have to be strong enough to go to the athletic director with the coach present to address the situation. You better also have video evidence of your concerns or else you'll just look like meddling parents. The last, and most controversial for these threads, is to find out where the school's coaches clubs are and enroll in their programs. The clubs and high school teams in this area are pretty good so this system of favoritism is working to some degree. Lax is not alone in this situation and the public school coaches are just as busy between their clubs and school teams. [/quote]
