BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls Spring 2014 High School Varsity Lacrosse

What was the story with inside lacrosse invitational ? , hearing minimal college coaches attented and weak competition ? Was it as thin as they say ? Elevate crushed all competition ?

Was there for the boys which was a great event. Lots of coaches for them. Watched a few of the girls games, not many teams attended and didn't see any coaches for girls. Not sure if it will change in future, but would not recommend it for girls at this point.

So clueless

If UA was truly invested in a fair and honest process the answer is simple. Where do they attend high school. They want the $$. Sad thing is parents are so obnoxious and callous that they don't even think their daughters are taking spots away from girls who live in the New England region and attend school their year round. Typical LI parent who doesn't stop until they get what they want. Don't want to hear the BS it is what the kid wants, we all know they live vicariously thru their children! Shame on them and shame on UA. Again, not a taineted, political, unfair process???

Not sure what's more pathetic, that you could not leave well enough alone or how bad everyone felt for the kid who was made to play against her friends .No one said the kid is not a good player , but can you honestly say that she should have made the team going by the tryout she had. Give it a rest mom when you keep posting this nonsense you just alienate your kid even more.

Check the Inside Lacrosse web site for the UA tourn player's that stood out

"A creative and smart attacker, "edit Player" excels especially around the crease. Playing for New England this weekend, she was the team’s go-to offensive quarterback as she dodges to score and feed equally as well. The Georgetown commit possesses a great stick and rarely makes mistakes."

I guess it all paid off..

Based on the results of the tournament.. team LI could have used a goal scorer

Dear UA: Why did you let girls from LI, who unquestionably live on LONG ISLAND, and do NOT attend schools in New England, try out for the New England team?

This is a clear violation of your stated eligibility rule as stated on the Under Armour Lacrosse website as follows: "You MUST live within the geographic region for the team you are trying out for..."

Clearly the girls on the NE team from LI did NOT live in the New England/Geographic region... and they did not make their own region's team.

If there is a different rule or interpretation of this rule which allowed these LI girls to tryout out for the New England team after not making the Long Island team, then please enlighten the lacrosse community because it is a question that deserves an answer.

This is setting a very bad precedent and takes away from the spirit of the tournament.

Just curious, was your daughter on the LI team ? Did she try out ? or do you live in new England and these 2 girls took spots from someone you know ? just trying to figure out your motivation for bashing 16 yr old student athletes who probably very much wanted to play in the event.

"**These are recommended locations. The athlete has the choice to tryout for any region, which is most convenient for their schedule. For instance - If you go to school in a different State then your hometown, you may tryout in either location. However, whatever region you tryout for, is the Region you will represent if you make the team, and are required to attend all practices and games associated with the event."

I know for a fact at least one of the players tried for the Long Island Team and did not make it. Maybe UA has to rewrite tryout rules.

Both players tried for LI and were cut - just like the other 120 or so other girls who tried out for THEIR region. UA and their underhanded politics is a complete joke. However, this also falls on the parents as well. What are we teaching these young ladies? You got cut - but wait there is a loophole and I'll make some calls and you can tryout again for New England so you can say you made UA. I can;t wait to see the bumper sticker on the back of their car.

Here's a question speaking of politics how many of those so called "top players" from the class of 2014 saw play time on the field in college this year or transferred bc they didn't see play time. Parents get over yourselves your superstars are not so super some of you and pulling strings now hurts them bc they cant deal with rejection. I know an entire group of 2014 grads who were top YJ and high School players as well as TG and saw less then 5 minutes of May in the real world and cant handke IT!!!

All the kids that went on to play in college from my town all played major minutes.

I know that a few from Farmingdale did not get any...and i think IT was harder for the parents then the children to accept. As far as your town getting major minutes what town?? Bc on top of Farmigdale, Mt Sinai, ESM, NP, GC all those who went to D1 saw basically nothing so parents be careful what you wish for make sure they like the school not just bc you like it for the name or lax!!! Many transfers this year from big D1 to lesser D1 or even not playing!! Statistically those who pick their schools instead of the schools picking them are happier!!!

All 6 of our 2014 seniors saw plenty of playing time plus another from the town over. 2 started on a top 5 Div 1 team as freshman. Oh by the way you forgot to mention WI who made it to the STATE FINAL in 2014 and I'm pretty sure they Finished the Fight in 2015 and earned the STATE TITLE. Another little tidbit to chew on they all played for the Purple. & Black which I believe to be Top Guns. Who ever started this comment has won the Darwin Award. I'm second for responding to such nonsense. I'm sure you would be able to handle such a big adjustment at least these girls gave it a shot much more than I can say for your sorry being. Hey Hop put an end to this nonsense this tough guy wants to berate kids that moved on with their lives and he has no reason why kids chose to leave school.

Will somebody please stop "Jabba the Hutt" the MC mother from tweeting about her kids! We get it and we all know they are very talented young ladies, Jesus C*#st take a break lady go eat some bonbons enough is enough.

Jabba the hutt??

I believe it refers to her girlish figure.......

It is very disturbing that all of you cowards come on here an takes anonymous shots at a woman. If a kid was posting things like this about your daughter I am sure you would be up at the district filing bullying charges. I do not know the woman that you are referring to but remember you have a daughter too. If you are not happy with how she handles her twitter have the stones to approach her privately about it or do what most people with class do and just ignore her. If you can't you have bigger issues to discuss with a professional.

Sorry but I have no idea who is being referenced here. Therefore not sure why it should be a problem for anyone. Seems pretty vague to me.

Singling out a mom from MC . Reference to her kids... I am sure there can't be more than one family on that team that has more than one kid on it.
