BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2019 Fall 2014/Summer 2015

You people are a nightmare. Ther is none of this stuff in Maryland that I am aware of. There are plenty of colleges that need good players so chill out. Very few if any will go to umd or unc. Relax.

There are too many clubs around the Baltimore area for people to tolerate this. Folks would just move on to the next club. With the proximity of M&D, SkyWalkers and TLC. Then Hero's, MD United and Capital being close by. People will vote with their feet.

BOTC has been around for about 5 or 6 years, it started out as LI lax scene and has a very strong following. The boards and threads were set up to support LI interests. I think part of the rationale of the recent club thread removal was likely to better engage other locations in thread discussions. You definitely see an increase in MD team chatter now. Anyway the point is that all this stuff goes on between the MD clubs as well, I see it in the last couple weeks already. Once BOTC soaks into the MD (and other locations), you will see that the MD people are not above what goes on here, exactly the same things will happen.

"Kids playing out of position"??? In 8th grade????

You have lost perspective on this whole thing (or maybe never had it).

The kids in 8th grade should be able to play any position. They hopefully aren't pigeon-holed by coaches or their no-nothing parents. If you're kid is quote "playing out of position" in 8th grade, then she is likely not that good if all she can do is play one position. Sorry to inform you, but I guess someone should.

Young players (and yes 8th grade is young) should be playing every position, and learning the footwork, skill and strategy of all of them. If your club doesn't allow that, because they want to win over developing the players, then I would switch to a place where they value the kids more than the almighty dollar.

If your daughter is destined for college lax (and certainly high level D1 lacrosse) a coach will recognize her abilities no matter what position she is playing on the field. She will be making a difference and standing out athletically and with her lax IQ.

But even more importantly, it's frick'in 8th grade!! Can they please have a little fun without parents, coaches and hangers on putting so much pressure on every game/tournament/play etc. CHILL OUT!!!!

I guess those parents will tell Coach Reese and Coach Levy DELETED

So I have no idea what u were trying to say, but if a kid is good enough to play (i mean actual see the field) at Maryland or UNC, you do understand that Coach Reese and Coach Levy will not need to see them playing "their position" in 8th grade. You r all too funny. An 8th/9th grader committed to Maryland could play w the wrong side of her stick and blindfolded and the coach could still see how talented they r ... and that top recruit, or anyone else at that level, could wait quite a long time before committing if they, and more importantly, their parents wanted to. So yes, if the parents of girls that are good enough to go to Maryland and UNC as 8th graders want to, they can tell Reese and Levy anything they want. And quite frankly, I wish they would. Because if the top 10-20 girls in the country would wait until they r at an age to make a semi-informed decision about where they want to go to college, then the whole recruiting process would slow down and it would be better for everyone.

But that can never happen because I have been telling my daughter and anyone else that would listen that she is going to be the first to be verbally committed in her age group!

That sounds close. Overall, it does not matter what position they play now if those coaches have other plans for them. What are you going to do as a parent if they want your middie to play attack or defense.

This weekend at g8 should be awesome!!!' The best of the best playing on Friday and Saturday against each other. Who will be standing at the end?

It's a showcase format, let's see if the cream really does rise to the top. Win or lose - it should be fun. This is why we drop all this scratch. For this kind of competition. Overall, all these girls that will play this weekend are going to be winners in the end.

G8 2019 "A" Bracket predictions:
1. M&D
2. TLC Red
3. Skywalkers Blue
4. Hero's
5. YJ Carro
6. Steps
7. South Jersey Select
8. M D United

Yikes, This tournament is stacked with who's who of club lacrosse. Hope they keep it selective in the coming years!

Are the fields turf or grass at the G8?

Wow, not giving much credit to YJ Carro? This is what I'm figuring from records so far this year.
1. YJ Carro
2. M&D Black
3. Skywalkers Blue
4. TLC Red
5. Hero's
6. MD United
7. South Jersey Select
8. Steps

CR should get this thing sanctioned by US lacrosse and call it the US club championship, somehow all these great teams go, US lacrosse needs to team up with someone in order to draw all the best teams.

1. Heros
2. Mnd
3. Yj
4. Sw
5. Tlc
6. Md United.
7. Sjs
8. Steps.

Is this a joke ?You may want to win a tournament before saying you are the champs

turf

STEPS last? Doubt it.

Steps is all sizzle, no steak! However, putting yj @ 3 is very wishful thinking

Hero's at #1? Are you kidding? Fifth at best, come on folks....

check site after the weekend. Have watched heros all year long. Barely lost to mnd in finals of spring league which is real competition in Baltimore. Don't lose to tlc. Beat sw 75%. Beat yj 50% and lose to mnd by one every game. Check back and reply you were wrong next week!

Has steps beaten anyone? Maybe switch them and sjs. Yj don't play competition every week starting in February so they can't hold up to tough competition one after another.

Steps likely to finish in bottom 3… they haven't done well this summer except for the Rock the Field where top tier competition was lacking. T3 haas done better and competed against stronger teams.

1) Team Smithtown ( must be the best as they never come off the field, have practice in their back yard , cancel practice if any are unavailable).
2) MD
3) SW
4) Heroes
5) TLC
6) SJS
7) MD united
8) Steps
9) YJ (non Smithtown) players , only purpose is to fill in for Smithtown kids when they need a break.

TG haS beat Hero's and TLC several times

Yes so has YJ, that being said has TG beat the this year as they seem to play no competition. TG 2019 has been hurt bad by defections , lost 4-5 of their top ten kids

This is not a championship format but a showcase. Will be interesting to see if all 27 players get equal time in front of the coaches.

That's great. What does it have to do with this conversation? TG's are not even going to the G8 tournament.??

And Hero's has beaten TG several times as has TLC. What's your point? Good luck at Best of the Beach.

Who the heck is Tg? Do they play lacrosse?

You cant play where they don't "invite " you.. wait and see how C.R. and Charlie stack the schedules in their favor..

LMAO - Look at the schedule how did CR stack that? Well, apart from only inviting the best clubs in the country.

I think the point is how can this be the best in the country if TG who has been several teams listed isn't invited because of whatever reason. TG can play with all of these teams

What's the thought on the Carol Rose money grab called the
LONG ISLAND ALL-AMERICAN GIRLS LACROSSE
NASSAU VS SUFFOLK at Michel Field?

Charlie stack the schedule in their favor? STEPS 2018 Blue (A team) playing, M&D Black, Maryland United East, YJs Rose, TLC Red, and Hero's. I guess that is stacking the schedule in their favor? Do a little work and look at the website before making a stupid point. Your jealousy comes through loud and clear. Guess your team wasn't invited.

[/quotes The thought is its exactly what you said a complete money grab which is genius by them but it is also a great idea . How many times have you seen on this site discussions of who has the better players Suffolk or Nassau etc. Obviously Suffolk has passed Nassau by easily at this point.

Looks like a little nod to all the "B" team yj (keep training, you're almost elite) and "A" team yj who ride the bench in competitive games - build it and they will come! Another feather in dads resume

doubt it. most nassau players taking a hard pass on this money grab
