Really? You think Thorne is an "A" team? That's a freaking JOKE!

Of course Thorne is the A team although Wright is clearly the better coach.

Both teams have average talent at best across the board no standouts yet. The better sticks on thorn are too small and just a step or two too slow for their size (if they were small and quicker then that would make up for the size), the bigger girls on thorn and Wright lack stick skills. Wright's girl need to put in more work in the offseason on their sticks and get trained by someone, or they will continue to just be a well organized group of girls who will keep coming up a bit short. The Thorn team are girls who probably won't see more success because of their physical limitations. Between the two teams CR may be able to scrape together 10-12 decent players. Let's see is she reorganizes or this age group will continue to struggle. overall this age group is indicative of the decline of YJ because of better training options out their. Only team that trains hard and has real off season opportunities to work on real lacrosse skills that will translate to wins later in their career is JS '25 team. Even if he isn't always at the helm, he is always providing those kids with the best instruction whether it be a player former player, etc. or a pick up practice during the off season that he throws together. Those girls will be the only YJ team that gets that kind of instruction because their coach is personally vested through his kid and could care less about all the other BS. There will be critics, but all those kids are getting their fill of instruction and skill work. All the others coaches are either putting forth a garbage effort or marginal effort at best (as is many other club situations). Too many hang their hat on their HS teams reputation or are daddy coaches who just don't have the big picture of instruction. But '25 YJ comes the
Closest to doing it like MD.

Congrats on the U13 and U14, now let's get back to teaching the kids. Or YJ will eventually be back down to two teams at every age, because there are many more better options from other programs, where people don't have to be treated poorly and accept it.


2024 Williams does it right as well. It's a phenomenal team that barely loses and runs practices and stick skills all year. A lot is organized by the dads, but it works and it shows on the field.
