And they played some of the top teams in the country!

Future Elite 2018
MFL Elite 2018 Red
Philly Blast 2018 Red
Team ONE 2018

Top teams in the country??

They play in the same B brackets as purple. If you can't handle the fact that purple isn't good then seek help

Think the poster was being sarcastic. Clearly not the best teams in the country.

LI Express 4-0

Let me guess, you a tg white parent! Lol

Actually think both purple and white are not very good, but purple definitely better than white.

If only Al Gore had invented a place where people could access this information

hahahaha.. so sorry, this really made my day!

I did the work for you. YJ combined 6-0, by total score of 86-13. TG 1-1 - '18 won, '19 lost.

TG 2018. 3-0. 40 goals for; 6 against.

TG 2019 2-1 26 for, 14 against
lost to SW Blue

What an absolute joke that tournament is. Those teams are horrible.

Top seeds
#1 yj blue
#2 tg black
#3 yj yellow
#4 Skywalker blue

And 30 other horrible teams

Plenty of quality players on those 30 horrible other teams. In fact many girls on those other 30 teams are or will be better than the chosen few who play on your chosen teams. Karma is a funky thing. My athletic part-time lacrosse player daughter will whip your little daughter when she decides to play full-time.......mark my words J**k A*S

That is a very true statement. And I have one of those "chosen few" daughters at the moment. But I know (and she knows btw which i think motivates her) that there are tons of great, athletic, driven girls out there. And only a few play lax right now. And only a few play for the "top" clubs.

Parents like to beat their chests about their daughters in lax (and of course they should be proud) but they don't seem to realize what a niche sport it is and that that is a main reason why many of their daughters get to play in college etc. If those same girls tried to "make it" in soccer or basketball, for instance, good luck (yes before u all go on about maggie bill etc there are some that would but not too many).

As lax grows, and more areas like California take to the game, we will see that little Suzy from Small Town LI isn't quite as good as we thought she was. This is the last group that will enjoy such an easy path to college w lax. Ten years from now it will have changed. And which LI or MD club team is best will not matter so much.

Best of luck to your daughter.

For those interested ...

YJ 2018 Blue beats Skywalkers 8-5 to get back into the finals at u15
TopGun Black barely gets by YJ 2018 White (technically 3rd team) 6-5

TopGuns ducks playing YJ2018 Blue all year long at all costs.
At 11:30am, those who continue to deny that will finally understand why it's true

We will see ... And i think you have the ducking part reversed

Why on earth would YJ ever duck TG??
Stop living off the legacy of 1 team years ago. Nothing before that and nothing after it.

Ducked them all year? They have avoided playing each other at all costs since TG started their program. Don't know who is ducking who but they have completely avoided each other but that ends today. The 2018 age group is a telltale signature group of the TG vs YJ saga. Coach Rose heads up blue, Coach Smith picked up Black. Time will tell.

What happened to the YJ 2018 Yellow team (the 2nd team)?

I'm watching the game. It's complete domination at every position. 9-2 with time left to make it 20-2 if YJ wished.

Total beatdown

11-2 YJ 2018 Blue U15 Champion over TopGun

Rose vs Smith
Solves that question for those that were still asking it.

Lost to YJ White (3rd team) in the quarters, in OT.

Website says 11-3 YJ Blue over TG 2018........ YJ White over Skywalkers blue 9-7 for third place. YJ gold in 5th place.

YJ girls are well coached giving their athletes a high lax IQ, no I'm not a YJ parents, just respect their style of play.

YJ blue on a different level than all teams there. TG more on level with the 2nd and 3rd YJ teams that were there along with skywalkers. Sadly many of the elite clubs that can compete with YJ blue, simply did not show.

And the TopGunners go silent. Finally

Just display good sportsmanship. Way to go TG!

No one (except the few crazy tg black parents) ever said that yj 2018 Rose is not the best LI team by far...too bad the other MD teams dont come to the u15 or play then in other tourneys. That said, TG black is a very solid team (and better than Elevate Blue) but if 2018 is the big next recruiting year, she has issues with her Purple and White teams in that age group. Purple went 1-3 in the SS tourney only beating a 0-4 team and while white went 2-2,the two teams they beat had a record of 0-8. Purple lost to both the LI Wave and Title 9, two team s that are very underrated and along with the YJ 2018 second team, are probably teams 4-6 in 2018. Just telling it like it is....

So where do elevate blue and red fit in the mix. Red had great games with wave and title 9?

YJ 2018 Rose has played the MD teams in a couple of tournaments this summer. At G8 they lost to M&D Black 3-9 and beat TLC Red and Capital Blue by 1 point. At Lax for the Cure, they beat M&D Black 8-3, TLC Red 5-3, and lost to Hero's 4-5. At Lax Inception they lost to TLC Red 6-7.

and beat STEPS Blue by 1 at G8. STEPS beat Skywalkers, TLC Red and Capital once each during the summer and lost to these same teams once. A lot of parity among the top teams in the age group this summer.

Right now TG purple and white are on the same level as Team Elevate White, fl$ and Team 91. They are that bad. It has been said in a post earlier that if BS took the 10 best from each team that he would have a good 2nd team. That is true but will TG ever do it?

They have to worry about the 2020 black mass exit.

I would place Blue at number 3 and Red (who lost to both the Wave and title 9) in the group after yj2 wave and the title 9 group with Express, Liberty both TG teams the yj 3rd team and maybe the blaze.

While I was the one who made the comment regarding Purple and White having issues, they are no way on the same level as fl$ or Team 91. Both fl$ and team 91, along with TOGZ and the South Shore Surf, are unfortunately the least talented teams teams. Not sure where Elevate White fits in.

Regarding the purple and white teams they are obviously not on the level of black or many of the girls who were previously on black would not have been moved to purple. With that said the purple team has many good/great players and white also has some good/great players.

its very obvious that certain dads want the two teams to become one. One feels his daughter is not playing with the right people and the other feels his daughter would be one who would be moved to purple.

Lacrosse like every sport is often affected/ruined by helicopter parents. Even school teachers can only do so much to help children when parents are not cooperative. Not cooperative like telling the player to ignore coach and take it yourself!

It seems like the problem purple had this year was good players not working as a team, moving the ball. Working as individuals does not work and hopefully the girls will see this, but I caution that the girl who has a father yelling at her in between every game pulling her away from teammates to tell her do it alone will never be a team player.

The coach is nice and attempts to do her job but when the girl on the field completely ignores what she is saying because the pressure to listen to dad, the only option is to pull her off the field. Some of the parents need to show the coaches more respect and let them coach!! Will it ever happen no its easier for them to complain on here about the girls poor summer season then to take a good look at what went wrong.

Enjoy the short summer break till tryouts start.

The problem with purple is they don't play as a team. White has the issue of too many girls not making lacrosse a priority. Too many mistakes on the field because they aren't dedicated. Not fair to the girls that come to every practice and play hard. Playing time is equal whether they try hard or not. This isn't P.A.L.

but isint hat the story of most teams?..at least the "B" and "C" teams?...there are always girls who go thru motions cause mom/dad insist they play..and that hurts the girls who show up all the time...daughter played on a 2020 team this season and same story---teams in it for the $$ so there is no downside to a girl not coming to practices..was a crappy experience and the program s/b assahmed of themselves...they wheel out a collee kid who was average at best along with a young HS asst. coach and sell the parents/girls as knowlegable coaches..
