So for Grumble, 100% true story from a NYE party last night. Ran in to a couple we used to be close friends with but have rarely seen in the past ~3 years. Their daughter and our daughter also used to be close friends but drifted apart. They are still in the same grade at the same school, HS freshmen this year. No hard feelings, just kids being kids. Their kid went with lacrosse as her sport. We've heard she's pretty good, and her older sister and cousins also played it.
Asking the dad how much he golfs, cause we used to golf together, he says he hasn't played golf in 3 years. Always something with LAX on the weekend. Complaining about tournaments in the Carolinas and other places. Said he just booked $1500 in hotel rooms for 3 big tournaments in the summer and had to do that now because the costs are even worse closer to it.
I'm just like, oh man, that stinks, we only had 2 of those for tennis this past year.
Then he proceeds to show me a recruiting video made for the girl which is on YouTube. Showing highlights of her in tournaments. The girl just turned 15 years old and has not played a single minute of high school varsity LAX since it is a spring sport.
If that is the girl's passion and she loves it, ok, cool, that's really awesome she found it and has the talent and her family has the means to support it. A recruiting video prior to your freshman season??? Come the fuck on, that's all on the parents. -
I finally figured out that in the context of this thread that LAX is lacrosse and not an airport in Los Angeles.whlinder said:So for Grumble, 100% true story from a NYE party last night.

Which makes me worry about the number of lacrosse insiders we have here. -

Row boat is the best HS sport of all time. I wish I did it. 5 or 6 races in spring. A few in the fall. That’s it. No recruiting videos. Put a good 2 k score on record and call it good. Physics is physics. -

We haven't done select ball for years, for the reasons above. And lacrosse recruiting is way grosser than football. Quite easily.whlinder said:So for Grumble, 100% true story from a NYE party last night. Ran in to a couple we used to be close friends with but have rarely seen in the past ~3 years.

I also really like that you don't have to start at age 3 to be good. You can pick it up in HS or college and be good because physics is physics.YellowSnow said:whlinder said:So for Grumble, 100% true story from a NYE party last night.

The one problem with row boat is the amount of infrastructure and support required for it. -
It also discriminated against kids like me that went to HS in arid regions.whlinder said:

That's the best part (only?) about soccer, requires next to nothing to play. Good compromise is rugby.whlinder said:
