[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids's club coach is saying that in addition to the thousands we spend on his godawful club, that we need to spend tens of thousands more on private school tuition to round out my son's lacrosse resume.

Can this possibly be true?[/quote]

If your kid is that good "you wont need to find us, we will find you".   If getting a scholarship is your goal you will fare better in a private top ranked program.   However, your kid will be over hyped and likely beaten out in College by a tough lax kid from the Island.   Look at Dylan Maltz...  no problem finding him in Loudon county.   Club lax is a business and they pray on the hopes of parents having a super star athlete in the family.   Play for fun and the talent will get noticed.[/quote]

Yes, the Maltz brothers went to Stone Bridge public in Loudoun, but their father is a Cuse Lacrosse alum (Syracuse is one of the most in-bred programs there are)...in addition, they were both Blackwolf kids. You think their HS coach got them a look?

Take away daddy and Blackwolf....they would have been lucky to play JMU club.

Go take a look at every D1 Roster out there and ALL of the kids come from Private Schools..even the Canadians. The few who don't either go to a perenial lacrosse public school on the island (think Ward Melville) or upstate (West Genee).

That said, yes....your kid at the very least needs to be on a strong club team with coaches that have contacts and credibility in the sport. If you can swing private and he can actually make the team....even better.

Does that mean there isn't talent in public school, no. Does that mean your son has zero chance of being recruited to play somewhere if he stays in public school, no......but you do the math and check those D1 rosters.[/quote]
