This petition is to be sent to the Smithtown School Board to show support for the West and East Smithtown Boys Lacrosse caoches for both Varsity School Programs. As a community, the parents, players nor the coaches were made aware that the coaches were not going to be reinstated at the last board meeting. With only a week before the Spring season beginning, we request an emergency board meeting to reinstate the coaches so that it will not disruptor delay the beginning of their season. These student athletes have been preparing to play in one of the toughest divisions in the country and it is not fair to any of them to wait until the next scheduled board meeting for them to find out the School Board'sdecision. If thedecision is delayeduntil the next scheduled board meeting, the players will not have enough practices to participate in their first scheduled scrimmages and will beten days behind all the otherteams in their division.
We, the Smithtown Lacrosse Community, support Coach Molitsanti and Coach Lambert and want them reinstated at each respective High School as the Varsity Head Lacrosse Coaches. In 2014 Coach Moltisanti received the Suffolk County Coach of the Year Award while Coach Lambert was awarded the Long Island Coach of the Year by Newsday. These two coaches have been extremely integral in our children'ssuccess on and off the field. They spend numerous personal hours beyond coaching to aid in the college recruiting process making Smithtown the teams to follow during both the Spring season and the Summer recruiting season.Alumni and currentplayers have experienced the benefits of many highly touted collegesthatseek out Smithtown games to watch them play because of the level of competiton and talent in just one community.These coaches have continued the Smithtownlacrosse tradition and continue to help these programs to stay NationallyRanked, which is a rarity for a public school.

Both coaches have had an influence in coaching me throughout my years of playing lacrosse. They have proven that they are an asset to Smithtown and should be reinstated.
Please don't hurt the kids by not having coaching staff they work hard and it's not fair to the kids or the coaches
It would be a devastating loss for the children of Smithtown to lose Coach Lambert. He not only teaches the essential skills needed to excel in lacrosse, he challenges them to become better & instills the values needed to play fairly and respect their teammates and opponents.
The board needs to renew the contracts if the coaching staff for not schools immediately!! The manner in which this issue has been handled is unacceptable. To leave our student/athletes with no coaching staff one week prior to the start of the season is irresponsible and reckless. Our children deserve better from the administration.
Both of my sons are very happy playing for Smithtown lacrosse and Coach Moltisanti. It has been a very positive experience.

I doubt the coaches weren't appointed for because the district doesn't like the way they coach. We have great teams at both East and West. Let me play devils advocate for second. Did anyone stop to think that the coaches did something the district didn't approve of? Why else would all the other Spring coaches have been appointed and the lacrosse coaches were not appointed? I have faith in the ethics of the superindendent and the board that they will look do whatever they need to do and there will be coaches in place time for the start of the Spring season. I am sure this will all work itself out.
