Pat is coaching them. I got so much better over the winter working indoor with him at keva, just think what those kids are gunna be like after a year or 2 of him all season. Imho they are going to be raw when they hit the highschool league.

awesome. i'm really happy to hear about the growth of youth teams. the state would be screwed if it didn't have youth programs.

yea, i wish i would have known about them when i was a kid, first time i saw a lacrosse stick was last year

Coach Shea and I are doing the same thing in Madison with the "Jr Regents" ...kids from feeder schools to West and Edgewood...got about 20 now and they will be awesome when they get older...future's in youth lax.

Youth Lax is really blowing up at this point. Its really great to see, as someone who got his start playing lax in middle school I can honestly say picking up a stick in middle school makes a huge difference. Coach Shea and Coach Darcy are doing some great things!

Arrowhead area has a 3rd/4th grade team, 5th/6th grade team, and two 7th/8th grade teams this year.

i know that Brookfield has a club team as does Northshore, but i have no idea how good/bad these teams are in comparison to others.

i think im gunna come back to madison and try to coach a youth team after i finish college, give back a little...

Next year I plan on helping out where ever I can in Kansas City, wether its trying to build a youth team for the area where I will be or helping with my old HS team, maybe reffing, depending on how it is down there, cuz truely I have no clue about lacrosse in the Kansas City area.

is lacrosse in kansas any more developed than wisconsin?

i think its kansas city, Missouri, and if so, yeah its wayyyyy more developed.

Kansas City, Kansas, is part of the Missouri sector because it has yet to really branch much. But the Kansas City area has put out on really good team that has got honorable mention nationally the past 2 years, and thats Rockhurst Jesuit.

There are 5-6 conferences in Missouri, each one of about 5-6 teams. Rockhurst Jesuit is ranked 59th in the Nation... according to Laxpower.com (so its a number, but really dosent mean much coming from LP)

But I am completely unaware if lacrosse down there extends outside of Highschool in either mens or youth. I really hope there is something there.

Just curious... what's the 1/5 stars and the P.A.B. mean on Tony's name?

you'll never know

awwwww man.

Jack.. this forum is the greatest thing.. EVER!
