Madison is terrible I agree

Anonymous wrote:Madison is good but based on the madlax league a step below Battlefield and Indy. Add them to the list with Langley and Yorktown for teams that could win it all this year. The Landon transfer in goal could be the difference come playoffs for them.

That was a super fun camp that I hope they continue to do for years to come, and maybe even expand it to additional teams.

The format of the camp each day was for the first hour, they divided up the players and coaching staff from all 4 schools between two fields. On one end were all the attackmen from all 4 schools with one offense coach from all 4 programs. They did the same thing with all the other position groups (All 4 schools fogos, mids, goalies, and D poles were together by their position with the various positional coaches from those different schools). It was awesome to see all the different teams coaches working together with players from different schools, teaching them high level concepts.

Starting on night 2, during the 2nd half of the camp each day, the schools had an hour-long scrimmage against each other with some HOF VHSL Refs in attendance to ref these games.

After the three nights of the teams playing each other, here was the 4 schools final records:

-Woodson (3-0)
-Westfield (2-1)
-Centerville (1-2)
-Patriot (0-3)

This camp was an awesome experience for all the kids, and their respective staff. Looking forward to doing this again next year, and excited to see these programs compete this spring!

Asking I guess out of jealousy, how is that within VHSL rules with Green/Yellow days etc?

No different than playing in fall brawl / turkey shootout

But it was directly coached by the team coaches, which I don't think happens at Fall Brawl.

New VHSL rule change this year allows coaches to coach their team in offseason games and tournaments like VEL, Fall brawl, etc.. Just counts towards a greenday. Each team is permiteed 32 total "Green days" or days the coaches can coach their team

This is a great explanation, thanks!

Also I now know that my kid's HS coach isn't going to get close to 25% of the use of Green days, what the heck??!?

Advocate to your school board to pay coaches more. They are expected to work year round for a 5k stipend (before taxes). Then, they hold green days and work outs during the off season that only half the players attend.

Then they have parents complain about not holding 32 Green Days.

Interesting dilemma.

Given that other spring sports are having Green days and lacrosse isn't, plus peer schools having been having Green days since back in October, it seems like it might be school/coach specific.

We have had 0 Green days with 0 currently planned. I fully understand the limitations and frustrations, but other coaches at the school are making it work. There should also be better ways to make Green days not hinge on just the singular head coach. If it is going to be purely weight room you can have more than one team in there at a time, structuring workouts to accommodate that isn't easy but it isn't impossible at all.
