baseball players for elite high school team

I see no mention of academics. How elite are the academics?

My sons HS is looking for the same...oh wait, that would be a recruiting violation for us since it is a public school, my bad...LOL

that's the good thing about not being a public school we can recruit

I know, and I don't agree with it, hince my little twist of sarcasm...

IMO, you are in a sense, buying talent, from the public high schools.  I really don't have a problem with people/players choosing to attend a private school, even if it is just for athletics. I compare it to an elite travel team, who can attract the best possible player, against a public school team who can only draw from the kids in their zoned school area.

Now, it may be different from where you are from, but in my area the private schools are lumped in with the public schools when it comes time for a run at the state title.  That puts the private school, who can openly recruit, at a much greater advantage than the public school.  In order to level the playing field, IMO, the private sector should have their own play-off division.

So please explain how it is that a private school, who has a facility that rivals many top Dl or Minor League parks and can openly recruit top tier players from anywhere in the country, possibly be fairly compared to a public school team that has no field at their school, has to use a county park as their home field and has no facility/locker room of their own?

If the private schools have their own division so be it, go out and buy the best possible team you can, I would even look forward to watching them play.

Just out of curiosity, what school is this?  I go to a private Christian HS as well, and we are currently trying to convince our administration to place more of a monatary focus on athletics...specifically with recruiting players.  Therefore, I'd like to know for the edification of our admin lol...thanks

I agree with you in the state of Georgia we play a totally different conference. We play our public schools but only in exibitions not in regular games.but your right it would not be fair at all,

Then I don't really have a problem with your situation, at least everyone is on a level playing field, but here in FL we are not.  Watch the state championships and see how many private schools make it into the finals.

yeah like some schools I know of like Arlington country day, faith Baptist of fla, Montverde, quality education yeah I know them schools and how they do

MccArthy, Jesuit, the list is endless.

Where they located and how can i get in touch with

Just got a look at the Final Four brackets for Division 1A - 8A here in FL.  16 of the 32 Final 4 teams are private schools.  Of the Public schools, I know of at least one that is marred with "recruiting" issues.

Class 2A, 3A and 4A, all Final 4 teams are private.

Just sayin

We have some of these issues in our area.From work and involment with fire training I know a ton of people in the area.with that I would bet that at least half the kids would go to these type of schools even without sports.the parents that I Know that send thier knids to private schools have completly had enough of public education.I am extremly fortunate to live where I do.Our school is great.We have probably one of the best supers around.Like everything else it starts at the top   , Public school parent 

Not sure if you were following the entire thread, we were talking about private being able to openly recruit players, this is striclty about recuiting issues.
