Those schools lose the right to say they are "in it for the kids"...

"HS club games" is code for club programs trying to do more lining of their pockets during a pandemic, I'll take my son being coached in HS over club any day.

Your son must play for a bad Club.

Not PP. Tell me which club practices and plays as much as 6 days per week for 3 months like HS teams. Tell me which good clubs or better have players that don't also play HS lacrosse. The answer to both is nada.

Many clubs have HS coaches but some club owners may not be able to coach HS teams.

Newsflash - they don't read this thread. Take your demands upstairs if you actually want to make change. Posting here is meaningless.

Yes they do. They know exactly what this board says. And I have talked to them directly. They know exactly what I think of their decisions. Thankfully, my child is a senior and I have no other kids. Nothing to lose. Lastly, the benefit of the broader community to know which school is standing in the way/lack of leadership will allow them to make the best decision they can when it comes to closing a school.

And yes...I know it is athletics, but w/o athletics, my kids wouldn't be in the universities that they are/have attended, so it is a big deal to many families like mine.

Heard St Mary’s was looking for teams to scrimmage

^^^clubs are always the summer circuit, high schools play less in the summer regardless, and some did play at NHSLS. But trying to launch club events simultaneous to high school seasons is different.

It wasn't a club event...it was trying to give kids more chances to play. Parent coached. Local. 3-4 games on Sat afternoon against other local HS's. And w nobody actually playing in March, it wasn't a conflict. Nobody starts playing games til April.

This is correct. Let HS's play independent from their schools as "clubs". Parent coached. 1 game for the next 3 Saturdays. Prep/Landon/Zaga all pulled out at last minute. Really unfortunate. Especially for younger players. With less games (and all league games), there opportunities for playing time will be minimized unless they are starting. Of course, no AD or Coach is thinking about that...no leadership at all....sad.
