CA lacrosse

[SSHSGoalie33]

well not if the varsity team is full, lol im talking about all the freshmen and sophmores who have been playing all their life.

[LAX_Conejo]

also me being a goalie, i had never picked up a stick in my life till january, did pretty good, i know its JV but being named MVP is pretty sweet, knowing that all the other players have been playing practicly there whole life.


You keep comparing yourself to a fictional group of players. Lacrosse in the Sacramento area, other than one team who had to travel over 75 miles for every one of the their games, is only in their second year. Unless you played against 4th graders, no one has picked up a stick for their whole sports career.

[Doritos]

well i play for Huntington park senior high go Spartans =P. #15 mid, attack mostly just mid and well we might play some other high school named manual arts in the home depot center field as a exebetion game during the riptides half quarter so it a good time for all of us out there to be cheeked out by lots of colleges or even Riptide players them self =P i am really looking forward to mostly playing on the field but theres still arrangements been set so its not a sure thing yet.^_^

Coaches and parents implied otherwise. When working the scoreboard I was talking to a team mom who said her son's team had been playing for four years. Last yr when we went the teams said to have been playing 2-4 yrs, which would make it 3-5 this yr for the majority. So, we've gone with what we were told, true or not.

[westlakelax17]

Does anyone know of some mens or high school summer leagues in the LA area?? The only one I know of is the one at LMU on sundays.

ok, i would deffinatly do that. You should contact all of the teams in SCLA too tell them about it too, and maybe charge like 5-10 dollars per person to pay for paint and such.

I'd love to get in on that if possible. I'm not doing Starz due to other priorities, so any chance I get to play I'll do.

If it's only a team thing, no worries.

At the moment its an anyone and everyone thing. We might do something memorial day if you're up to it, Ill keep you posted.

I can't believe OP went CIF. I also heard Agoura went CIF too. Well i guess westlake will have to follow too. our board is going to talk about it in the next couple of days.

Didn't hear much about Agoura, but I'm sure you guys, Agoura, and NP will be soon to follow.

I sure hope so, becuase I dont want to be playing Manuel arts and st. gabriel every weekend [no offense to you guys].

[3rdPersonPlural]

This is good news in many strategic ways, but bad news logistically.

If OP goes CIF, so too will Westlake, Agoura, TO, and NP in short order. That leaves SB and Calabasas in a two team league.

The CIF prohibits Sunday Games, so now SCLA games have to compete for refs with other CIF teams on Saturday. SCLA used to get the pick of the litter because they played multiple games at one site on non-CIF days and paid a fair fee per game. Now they're going to be obliged to compete for assignments with teams that are closer to the refs without the off-day, fair-pay, multi-game advantage. Unless they can get CIF to let them play multiple games, they're going to see one football official who read the rule book in the parking lot before the game.

This problem can be solved, but it will take planning and awareness to get it done before it's water under the bridge.

[cali feeder]

Mr. Mod brings up a good point. I've heard a lot about low quality/quantity officiating in CIF-SS.

Hopefully we can bribe you to ref some of our games.

[cali feeder]

Just wondering, any of your guys gonna be playing for XL Starz? I did it last year, and it wasn't too great of an experience. But it looks like they got some new coaching and revamped the program, so I'm interested.

Assistant Moderator, ThankYouVeryMuch. I am the third line of defense behind two experienced Mods looking after the contentious and often posted upon 'Coaches Forum'.

Just don't go in there cussing or spamming or......you know.......doing anything that might cause me to become agitated. I'll..... I don't know yet what I'll do.........but I'll do it without pity or bias or anything like that.

SS-CIF had the problem that half of the good refs quit when CIF cut our pay in half and they were replaced with first year guys who get a game or two of training, rather than the 10 seasons of playing followed by 15 seasons of post collegiate club play followed by 20 games worked as an apprentice to top tier officials before getting management of a game like we do in the Condor/SCLA realm. Some SS-CIF refs have playing experience, but many don't these days.

[tomtom]

You make a good point 3pp, but I think that something else might happen. Assuming OP and Aguora went CIF by next season, I still dont think you'd see a CIF NP or TO for a while. Before then, Ive got reason to believe that a camarillo team could very well spring up. And once the lax action jumps the grade, I have no doubt that oxnard will follow within a year, maybe 2. The interaction between Camarillo kids and Oxnard kids is too high for a Cam team to go up and not an oxnard team.

So then we end up with SB, TO, NP, Cam, Oxnard, and Calabasas. Thats not too bad a league if you ask me, but then again, thats all speculation based on school board decisions and whatnot.

The key to the conejo going would bhe a strong season out of TO next year. Since Westlake, TO, and Newbury are all in the same school district, if one goes they all go. TO being the biggest of the three schools, their role is crucial. Westlake will have a strong support for the CIF cause, regardless of how their season goes next year. Newbury gets overlooked in a lot of school board decisions, especially regarding athletics(need I bring up the Dos Viento/stadium issue?), even if we do have a great season next year.


cali feeder- Ill be there in fall i think, but Im too busy over the summer for it. btw, the pocket is now 100% legal.

I'm trying out 4 starz this summer. the tryouts are this saturday. I heard a rumor that dacarr is moving this summer. true??

[LAX_Conejo]

I heard a rumor that dacarr is moving this summer. true??

Never trust rumors. He plans on being there for the football rematch between Oak Park & Oaks Christian

Are you looking for him to not do Summer Starz or not do 2008 league?

[PlayOn]

You know I was at a meeting of minds about 3 weeks ago to discuss the CIF officiating snafu we now find ourselves in. Very interesting stuff but hopefully we can somehow unite and get some solid methods for coordination and recruiting officials. If any of you are High School seniors (now incoming college freshman) and want to ref you should get in touch. Especially if you're going to be in LA, but really anywhere. Reffing is pretty fun, you get to see the game in a new way, AND you get a little walking around money if you're nice to the book keepers.

Plus you get to wear really snazzy socks.

[tomtom]

How exactly does one get into officiating? I think it would be something I'd enjoy doing, reffing youth or jr high games and perhaps sometime down the road high school.

[PlayOn]

Well you could go to http://www.uslacrosse.org/official/index.phtml

or you can shoot me a PM and we can figure it out. I really don't know if there is an age requirement for officiating, i'll have to find out. If you've graduated high school and you live in LA you'll be doing varsity games right out of the gate. Once you've been trained, certified, and paid your US Lacrosse dues of course. In places where there are more officials there is rumored to be a more of an introductory phase but our method is way more fun.

[cali feeder]

Good job to everyone at the tryout. There were a TON of kids there, so it looks like not everyone will be making a team this year.

[3rdPersonPlural]

Do ya think I'll make it? I was the d-pole who never took his hat off, seemed a little slow of foot but never got beat and always made the right slide.

Right-on-the-button clearing passes, but no bursts of pure speed. I hit one kid in the helmet when he was open but unfortunately not looking. That might ding me, huh?

::3PP. u17 in heart and soul, but my drivers license betrays me::

[tomtom]

From Josh Eby, regarding CIF status:

The push for CIF status is being felt at the district and league level. It is and issue that has been discussed amongst the three district high schools and at our league meetings. In the end, the decision to have a sport is made league wide. A few of the issues/questions that have come up are facilities, finding quality coaches, possibility dropping a sport in order to add Lacrosse, and Title 9, if we do not have a girl’s team.

Bad news if you ask me. Within the marmonte league, only 4 of 7 schools have teams. So it looks that unless we see a surge in teams from Simi and Moorpark, nothing's going to happen soon. Not to mention the title 9 thing is huge. However, as the rumor mill has it(the rumor mill being my 3rd period classmate), a girls club team could be started in NP next year.

This also presents a problem to Santa Barbara. If Simi Valley and Moorpark added teams, and the decision is made to go CIF, that leaves SB without a league. Any thoughts?

[cali feeder]

Oak Park isn't Marmonte, according to my knowlege. We're Tri-Valley. So I don't think that presents an issue to us, but it may for you guys.

[tomtom]

Marmonte is NP, TO, Westlake, Simi Valley, Moorpark, Royal, Calabasas, Agoura.

[cali feeder]

Marmonte is NP, TO, Westlake, Simi Valley, Moorpark, Royal, Calabasas, Agoura.

Ah. I see. Well, hopefully you guys can work around the Title IX issue and go CIF.

[tomtom]

Thanks. Is there a girls team at OP?

[westlakelax17]

uh guys... i don't think there is a Title IX issue in high school [I think only in NCAA]. The real issue is that will the new program last if they allow it. 3PP i think said this before, if the school district would allow a lacrosse program to go CIF, they want to be sure that the funding for the program by the booster clubs is going to last, because if it doesn't or it goes down, then the school district will have to pay more money to keep it alive, and they don't want to do that.

We had our team party last night, and the board members that were leaving, kept on emphasizing that we really need to get on the ball for the push for CIF. Malibu and Oak Park both had to raise 60,000 dollars to go CIF. I think it will take a lot of determination for the rest of SCLA to go, but i think we can. The even hard part about this is that TO, NP, and westlake I think all have to raise the 60k separately, before we can go, since we are all in the same school district.

Last thing, Mr.Bright the SCLA president said that the CVLL is joining our league next year, and we will have approx. 1200 kids in the league. What is the CVLL anyways??

[3rdPersonPlural]

CVLL is the Conejo Valley Lacrosse league. u13 and u15 kids.

Geoff Sebold has built it and is now 9rightfully0 tired of running it. I hear that the teams will be organized as per what HS teams they feed into, and the teams, not the league, will have to schedule games and fields and refs etc.

We'll miss Geoff, but I can't blame him for backing out once the survival of Conejo lax is assured.

L not OL. This is serious four stars. The Newbury Park u13's need a coach and a schedule and a field. So too do the OP, TO, Westlake, Agoura, Calabasas, SB, Camarillo, and whoever-I-forgot little kids. This is your feeder program.

Same for the U15's.

Mistakes can be made, too. How the fields and refs are scheduled will be important. There are NOT enough refs in the Conejo area to ensure ample refs for lots of games in different locations at the same time. If the powers that be don't recognize this, they'll be unhappy. Someone should contact our assigner (they know who he is) and agree on a plan.

Youse guys will also find that the 'U' levels are where parents still think that they can influence the career of their kids. This is a problem for the coaches that gets elevated all too often to league levels.

Some semblance of firm organization needs to happen PDQ to make this work well.

PM me for the appropriate contacts.

I was trolling this thread and noticed this comment. I don't know what it was regarding but it made me think this may be related. The problem with starz and summer league is that there is absolutely no communication between the leagues, the refs, and the players, and the regular season organizing elements with regards to organization or availability. Between Starz and Adrenaline and U-x Leagues like LALL you have a competition for refs, field space, and even players. Factor in to this that leagues fail to contact local assigners for officials and you often see refs traveling over 2 hours to go to games way out of their regular zone because those are the people that have a relationship with the program in some way. Not only does this make it difficult to find a suitable amount of officials but it also screws over local guys (like myself) who want to stay involved over the summer but get cut out because of the old boys club factor. Summer league helps officials become better too. I went to a starz game 10 mins from my house and both of the officials were from SB, including one official in particular who had a less than stellar reputation last season.

We're trying to build more structure between the programs to allow for better communication from all sides so we can streamline our programs and make them most effective. Through better and more easily accessible leaders and point people we'll move towards a more synergistic approach to post season play and overall regional consistency. Also there is a very real shortage of Officials in the LA area. At one point last year we were down to 20. If you're in college and interested in officiating or if you're in HS and want to do younger kids (MS) let me know and I can put you in touch with the right people.

I think it should be a priority in this region to bring established teams in to the CIF system so we can have a real final and ranking system and bring more respect to west coast lacrosse.

Cali, don't fret too much, the only good SS teams other than Foothill and El Toro are: Palos Verdes, Corona Del Mar, St. Margarets, Jserra and I heard Loyola Los Angeles was pretty legit too. I know your teams skill a bit and those are really the only teams that could really have a chance to stand in your way. I'm not saying there aren't other teams that are good I just know for a fact about the teams I've stated.
Whats up guys, i am from Nor Cal (as my name says), i am a Lancer. Well, not anymore we had to change our name to Folsom United. I play D, and i think i am going to be #25 this year. I went to Vail with the Sacramento Elite Team. Nice to meet you all,
Welcome to the CA High School Lacrosse Thread and to TLF (the lacrosse forums). I personally don't post much in here anymore, but this is a pretty cool thread, with lots of cool guys and some girls that know lots about what they are talking about.

[brainddeadjock]

I think the top teams from Orange County will be
1.) Foothill
2.) J Serra
3.) Corona del Mar
4.) Tesoro
5.) Woodbridge
6.) Everybody else

ORange County will be adding at least 6, possibly 8 to 10 high school varsity boys teams for the 'o8 season

No El Toro? Did graduation knock them all the way out of the top 5?

There were hit very hard by graduation ans there JV last years was not very impressive. all were relatively small and not that quick.

Last year's graduating class has several very large, physical, and speedy players

WAIT, woodbridge went CIF???? if they did, i think i am going to be pretty lonely with everyone going CIF and nobody left in club. Does that mean there will be no OC Highschool tournament??


BTW, how did you all raise money for the $60,000 entry fee for CIF??

Westlake has all the money. Other than one corp donor, most came out of the pockets of the board and the parents of the players. The corp donor was from the workplace of one of our players so no real outside business support.

I do not think Woodbridge should be higher than El Toro. El Toro was more than just the sum of their players, they have some pretty good coaching and very good conditioning. Part of their success was how strong, fast and conditioned they are/were.

Look at the bright side. With all three goalies from last season's all league gone, you, Kevin and DJ will lock up next years spots.

Conejo is right. El Toro had more than just talent. As he said, they were very conditioned, well coached, and quite disciplined, I might add. Thats not to say that they didn't graduate some studs, but they'll still be alright. I would not put Woodbridge ahead of them (who also graduated a couple good seniors).

I'll definitely still be attending SCLA games and following the league. It should be a lot closer this year, I think it'll be a total dogfight in the play offs.

I agree that westlake does have alot of money in it as a city, but as a team I would say we are doing alright, we aren't even close though for the 60,000. Well at least have a sport on all league will look good for playing in college. Justin Hackman is still here from TO. I think that it will be me, kevin, and justin as all league.

What would happen to Santa Barbara when the rest of Conejo goes CIF?? and is Calabassas even going CIF, they have like no one left on their team??

[westlakelax17]

I just checked www.oclax.com and it says that Dana Hills, woodbridge, University Irvine, and Northwood just went CIF this year. So that only leaves Yorba linda, La Quinta, and great oak in Califorina club OC league.

[cali feeder]

I believe, but don't quote me on this, that Clasby is playing at Trinity Pauling Prep.

I am not sure for Santa Monica, but for Malibu High school, try calling their main office for the coaches information: 310-457-6801. I check their website and there was nothing on it about the lacrosse program.

[westlakelax17]

Hey anyone hear that there wont be a first 4 last year?

I haven't heard anything like that yet. I know Yale is not playing in it this year because they are playing in some showcase in Texas this year.

[NorCal_Lancer]

Are you guys going CIF? Oak Ridge is this year, we stomped you guys last year :)

No, because sense we have 3 schools, we cant. Also, what team is this? Funny thing about the CIF thing is that i think the only school that is actually going to do well in the CIF program is going to be GB, other than that, i don't think FH, OR, and (there were 2 other schools that went CIF in our district, don't remember though) are going to make it.

-NCL

[fire_dime]

i hate de la salle in field especially.....we lost to them sux........but out goalie sniped top corner on them with his goalie stick

Why would you hate De LaSalle? Maybe you hate getting beaten by them but they have the most class of any team you might face.

Last weekend DLS's JV squad took Monta Vista's Varsity to 3 overtimes and 7 bravehearts before they lost a coin flip to decide it. Granted, Westfall wasn't in the net, but he was on the field knocing the sophmores on thier butts. Not one of the DLS players were talk'n trash while Monte Vista showed significantly less class by playing dirty and taking many penalties against physically smaller JV players.

De LaSalle runs a classy program. I have heard complaints about running up scores but how can you ask a 4th string midfielder not to take open shots when they maybe get 7-10 minutes all season.

Don't be so quick to hate, there are better targets out there than the class act Coach O'Meara puts on the field.

[jhslax16]

What's up, y'all.

I'm a senior and play attack (#16) at Jesuit High School in the Sacramento Area.
We're going CIF this year along with 3 other schools in the area (Granite Bay, Oak Ridge, and Foothill, I think).

[FHS_D-POLE]

i dont hate de la salle it was sarcasm i hate that we lost to them and their fans are gay the players are classy though

[westlakelax17]

ATTENTION SOCAL PLAYERS:

Indoor Lacrosse is coming to Simi Valley. At Iceoplex Ice Rink, they are supposedly redoing their ice and installing turf under the ice and putting soccer and lacrosse lines in. I heard this from one of the people at Point Break Lacrosse store [also known as Lax Store] because he plays hockey at that rink. jeff miller, who is apart of Thousand Oaks High school lacrosse team, is the one who set this up. They are supposed to have a league forming in january. If this actually goes through this will be a nice step up in the lacrosse community in southern california.

[LAXatm]

Were there any sophomores invited to the Adrenaline High Rollers ?

Im not sure, the guy at the store just told me sometime in January. It maybe just kind of a pick up league sort of thing on the weekends. I think the ideal time to start it up is in the summer/fall.

[lamp shade]

[SimiHockey77]

I emailed the hockey director at Icoplex in Simi about the possibility of a box league coming soon but he hadn't heard anything about it. I know the Rollerdome is repainting their lines to add soccer this coming season and the I heard that LaxStore.com is thinking about getting a box league in the summer going there. High School and up and maybe a youth division. They just need people to play and it would probably happen.

Maybe that was the place that is doing the lacrosse lines. I just assumed that it was the Icoplex because the guy at Point Break [Laxstore.com] told me an ice rink in Simi, and that is the only one I know of. Sean Lindsey was talking about a box league at the Rollerdome over the summer, so he probably had influence there.

I think for the most part they're pretty accurate. I'm a little disappointed though, because the website made no effort to contact my school (Northwood High, in CIF-SS Seaview), and I believe they simply asked another coach in our area how he thought we would do.

On another note, though, I am definitely not looking forward to the Foothill or El Toro games (both are in our league).

your guys offense is pretty sweet. but i remembered our goalie was on a roll that day and was blocking a **** load of shots.

you suck andrew...lol

[LAX_Conejo]

Hello CIF teams. Oak Park is new to CIF this year and we do not have enough games for this upcoming season. Our AD only scheduled 2 games outside the two small leagues in our playing area. We have only 2 games with teams in the Top 20 and one is scheduled 3 hours away, one hour after SAT's let out. We have up to 8-9 open game slots. If your team is CIF and you need more games, give our AD a call. Let me know how the conversation goes. Oak Park High School CIF SS.

Anybody gotten any updates on the simi/rollerdome box league situation? Rollerdome seems like a more likely candidate for a league, seems like it would be easier to put down turf there than in an ice rink.

El Toro won't be that scary this year. They graduated that killer class of 16 seniors. I ref'd a couple of their JV games, the are not as good as before. The main advantage El Toro has is that all their freshmen know the basics, so the coach can work on many other things.

Just like last year, SRV is in for a game.
It's hard to say exactly though because our team dynamic has changed greatly and in no way will it be the same matchup. I haven't had a chance to see SRV's team play this year as very few games have been played by any teams yet.
Our team knows what it is doing and it should be a great game

well really we lost 8 of our 10 starters, 2 of whom being star players.
we ended up losing 9-11 but the game was up and down the whole way...our teams 16 penalties kinda added to that....

[laxman 9990]

[westlakelax17]

Westake lost 11-7, offense couldnt put anything together.

TO won 10-2 i think

[LAX_Conejo]

La Costa Canyon is supposed to be better than they were last year.

Just like last year, SRV is in for a game.
It's hard to say exactly though because our team dynamic has changed greatly and in no way will it be the same matchup. I haven't had a chance to see SRV's team play this year ...

Some early returns out west, 2008:

2/22 - San Ramon Valley [#10 in 2007] 11, Redwood [#11 in 2007] 9

I watched the second half of the San Ramon, Redwood game. A really good early season Northern California matchup. San Ramon won the second half 8-5. San Ramon has an attackman, Cameron Girioux - and a mid-fielder, Kai Cummings who are DI material IMO. I believe they also made a real improvement in goal over last year.

I should be at the San Ramon v St. Ignatious game on 2/29.

[LaxIzKool]

oh thanks sorry had to ask!!!

[MACDADDY]

omg...

Granada High lost to Clayton valley by overtime.
its the first game of the season and i did score 2 goals so that balances it out

[fhslaxplayer]

oak park needs to step it up if it wants to compete with real programs

[murderlax]

my team, granite hills high school, just lost to poway high school last night in a scrimage. it wasnt much of a bad game, our offense is still having trouble focusing and getting stuff down but since it was a scrimage, it was all about playing time, so we tried to get new kids in to get them used to the caliber of play.
but our defense is AMAZING. probably the best defensive units we've ever had.
so watch out for me, the deuce, taking the wings with a pole!

[akahector]

oh and our team should do okay this year, our seniors are mostly on defense, and we have a young goalie, but we have decent midfielders which will help

hey i scrimmaged against you. a lot of scuffles in that game

[akahector]

just got the foothill tourny schedule, looks like mater dei's in the JV bracket!

[manup5183]

2 24-min running halves.

they're not counted on our laxpower schedule..

[akahector]

'knights challenge' scores:

los alamitos v. peninsula - 9-5

los alamitos v. jserra - 5-7

i know that tesoro just beat peninsula by one goal later that night, and that foothill destroyed san clemente. beckman vs. oak park, i don't know, but jserra i believe beat tesoro 7-1.

i just read in the paper that there's a rose bowl tourney going on today starting at 8, including some of the teams in the foothill tournament (foothill, beckman, and tesoro are a few teams in it). what's up with that? are we getting B teams out at foothill today?

[fhslaxplayer]

no thats a girls tourney they do every year.....

[Justbecause]

Hey FHSLAXPLAYER - did you win or loose? Someone said Oak Park beat you, am I misinformed?

[fhslaxplayer]

haha we dominated oak park we did not lose

[Justbecause]

haha we dominated oak park we did not lose


What was the Score??

[akahector]

foothill, you guys dominated everybody. you even dominated the fastest shot competition on the side there. your team played great; although jserra kept close, i don't think you lost your lead at all.

[cali feeder]

haha we dominated oak park we did not loseHaha I don't know about dominated...you did beat us though.

Fun tournament, I hope you guys host another one. I got named to the all-tournament team woo!

Oak Park went 3-1, beat Beckman, Tesoro, and San Clemente, and lost to Foothill.

[fhslaxplayer]

i dont think there was a time in the game oak park ever had control of the game ...i had fun playing you guys though what number are you

[OPlax31]

we controlled the face-off X bub

[fhslaxplayer]

haha which still meant nothing because the defense just got the ball back to the offense

[IxRockfordxI]

Cali Feeder,

[cali feeder]

i dont think there was a time in the game oak park ever had control of the game ...i had fun playing you guys though what number are you #3, on attack, it was a fun game. Didn't talk to many of your players, but your poles seemed pretty cool. I know one of the twins was on defense and the other one is injured...how long is he out for?

Cali Feeder,

We sir, definitly need to have a rematch :-p Im on Tesoro...good game tho... congrats on all tourney... I was standing up there with you ;-) Yeah, a rematch is definitely in order! Congrats to you bud.

[fhslaxplayer]

[akahector]

ohh i think i was on you for a lil #00 um i dont how long james is out for

#00 with the pink mesh? you played a great game out there... i think its interesting how you guys put out 3 poles right off the faceoff, it works really well for your team.

[fhslaxplayer]

:runaway: uhh yeah the one with the pink mesh haha it was the last thing they had at the local store a while ago and i was desperate..

thanks man, yea the three poles is pretty fun to run
