BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Long Island Yellow Jackets Lacrosse

US Lacrosse has some really dumb people planning their events. Capital Cup starts on Friday the weekend before the U15's and ends on Monday. U'15's start on that coming Thursday. Do families really want to make the trip back and forth to Richmond twice in only a few days time? I know I don't. What's the alternative - stay in Richmond for 10 days? Yippeee!!! Really bad planning by US Lacrosse.

The other issue is that this is NOT a recruiting tournament. Only a handful of coaches have come the last two years.

The G8/Elite 8 in NJ two weeks prior to U-15. Looks like everybody who is somebody is going to that one. Any idea if it's showcase or championship format?

Run by STEPS with Nike sponsoring, same set up as Nike Elite 120 in terms of STEPS/Nike. However, this is a tournament with a small handful of the very best club teams in the country from LI, NJ, and Maryland. Head of STEPS came up with the idea to do a small tournament with just the best teams close to an airport with the goal of attacking the top college coaches which they have done.

G10?

Is the G8/Elite 8 is this similar to the Elite Showcase

I see it called a lot of things (G8, G10, Elite 8), I assume they are the same as they all appear to be July 10-12 in Morristown/Morris Plains NJ. One could only hope it's championship format.

Love the idea. Invitational only, just like the 120 elite except for teams. If you only invite highly competitive teams, you save coaches the hassle of watching blow outs, so they get to see the best vs the best and actually get tested, that's why the coaches will show. From what I can figure is they are inviting the top 8 or 10 teams in each age group. I have wished for years for this to come along, we will see how it goes.

Charlie Shoulberg at STEPS has done a really good job with the Elite 120 which was very good with a ton of top college coaches in a showcase format where girls played on pre-determined teams with players from the top clubs, not with their own team. More of an individual showcase. The G10 will be a championship format with the best of the best club teams playing against each other, but many fewer teams than the normal tournaments, a really high caliber team showcase that is local for LI and NJ teams.

Keep on opening your wallet my friend, and many thanks for growing the sport.

Every young lady who wants to play college lacrosse will play. Whether it's community College or Northwestern. You people are pathetic. Please let them have their youth and enjoy themselves. Cheer for your daughter and there team and wish every girl gets to live there dream instead of putting others down. Remember you might spend all this money and they decide to quit cause they just don't enjoy it anymore. So go easy and be sensitive to all.
Good luck.

Off topic but looking for accurate information-what are the (if any) regulations of playing eligiibility of a student wishing to tranfer from public to private school after sophomore year (high school)?

They can only play in nonconference/ nonleague games.

If you are talking about transferring from public to Catholic League - you must sit out all league games for the first year but can play in non-league games. Hope this helps.

The student athlete could not play in league games for their first season

How about the other way around? My district has a girl transferring back after a year at a Catholic school. Any restrictions?

According to the NYSPHAA Bylaws and Eligibility Standards regarding transfers.

Section 30 subsection b. ....."Students who transfer from any school to the public school district of the residence of his/her parents (or other persons whom the student has resided for at least six months) or a private school within that district's boundaries shall receive a waiver from the Transfer Rule. Such a transfer without penalty will only be permitted once in a high school career."

So a student transferring back would be on her second transfer of her career and would then suffer some sort of penalty? So long as the coaches and AD have if figured out its all good. Unfortunately I have seen penalties suffered and jobs lost due to the oversights of rules.

well said, will be lost on most

YJ and Steps are legit top 5 2017 teams, elevate is borderline top 10. It's not like it's just one or two top clubs that don't show up. I watched M&D, Capital and Lady Roc all beat 2017 Blue this fall...not one of those showed and only one is from MD.

As for Richmond 2015, if any club decides to go to the U-15 and then skips either of the two IWLCA sponsored events held there this summer, their parents should revolt. [/quote]

Speaking of Elevate, I was watching their top 2 2018 Teams scrimmage yesterday while I was waiting for my daughters YJ game to start. Was watching with my friend who has a daughter on one of the teams and have 2 observations about the Elevate 2018 age group. 1) The teams are good but are not even close to YJ top team as far as talent and 2)the teams seem completely equal. I asked my friend if they mixed up the teams when they scroimmaged and he said no. I was very surporised to see how equal the two teams were. With most clubs, like YJ, the top team is usally much more dominant and here that was not the case at all.

Blue chip is worth it only if there are colleges your daughter is interested in. You are better off going to the schools you are interested in and doing there camps.

Funny, I saw that Elevate scrimmage yesterday as well. Did not know who the teams (age groups were), but was wondering that as well. The game seemed so even. That makes me wonder how good they are at evaluating talent. If you took the best girls from both teams, wouldnt you have a better team?

My daughters 2020 YJs blue team beat 2019 TG black. Way to go YJs!!!

Dear YJ parent who is obsessed with Elevate - stop posting about them on the YJ forum.

Obviously someone is stirring the pot. No one from YJ would have posted this about a winter league game.

Another lonely, despised Blue parent!

It came from YJ blue. I know this nut bag.

We all know what a strong team 2020 YJ has
and that TG 2019 has been weakened.IMO
I think it would be a great game with both teams
at full strength .

Said the lonely despised blue parent

Funny, I saw the YG girls play at the Hub and I was not all surprised as the lack of talent. Your a jackass. Get a life and while your online for a life get yourself some glasses.

Syracuse will win a championship very soon and Gary is a good coach. If you have noticed some of the top women teams bring in successful male lax players to help them with play style and offenses and defenses.

Sounds like Elevate has 2 good teams!

Drink much.

The right people see through this nonsense. That means the MAJORITY aren't amused by this lack of integrity a few have in their posts. There are a few disturbed lacrosse parents who come here and say things that are driven by pure evil. They can easily be from either team's sideline. Don't jump to judgement on teams based on a few disturbed people. There are more good people than bad. Stay focused on them... Ignore the bad seeds. Carma is going to take care of them.

That's one way to look at it lol

Not sure who "Carma" is (maybe she works at the HUB) but "Karma" will take care of it........
