Apparently you are one of the parents that was given the speech about how your daughter was the next "it" kid and she would be paying special attention to her and you believed it.Sorry you got your hopes dashed but essentially your kid will now be playing on a B level team . Actually I am jealous as my kids team is going to be brutally competitive this year and she is going to have to work her butt off to earn playing time , maybe I should move to TG so she can also be one of the "it" kids.

What's crazy is most of what's left on that team can't leave for another club. They will never ever make another top team anyplace else and they know it. Some were there since the program began and have been grandfathered in regardless of skill or athleticism.So year after year they return to black because there afraid to tryout someplace else and actually get hit with the reality of them not being real A level players.
They're told any and everything by BS and SS to collect their check except the truth. There is not one player left on that team that can replace or even come close to what's gone.

doesn't that ultimately happen to all the 'better" programs?...most of the time its from disgruntled ex-members or parents who has had a daughter leave for whatever reason...I am sure they have their issues like any other higher-level program, but they have always been a winning organization..and one cant gloss over that they are directed by a current D1 coach and arguably one of the top 10/15 woman's players of all time...never know what is sour grapes and what is true..you can bet that there are any # of girls programs on LI that w/b ecstatic to have had the results/players that TG has had..

but what is really amazing is that folks like us are even talking about TG..my point is sorta that there are sooo many girls programs that would love to have ANY kind of publicity or folks talking about their program--Good or Bad--on BofCage..how many directors would kill for folks talking crap about their programs?

you don't think any of the Republican candidates would love to have Trump bash them everyday as opposed to toiling away in anonymity?...like Bush isn't loving the idea of having Trump smack him down?...or that Christie or Paul wouldn't relish the chance for some press?..cmon' tough guy...that's the idea...

Sour grapes?? I think not. I think these parents have every right to feel the way they do. Unless you are or were apart of the club, you have no idea what's what. TG was successful yes, however over the last few years has declined drastically. Every year there is a mass exodus from all the teams. Not just this age group but a great majority. Let's not forget the issue with 2017's 2020's and 2021. Emergency meetings being held to stop the bleed at the 2021 age group. Rosters being pulled from the website and never to reappear for the 2017 due to all the issues that group had and lastly the 2020's we all know the history with that age group. This is nothing new it's just being pushed to the forefront now as parents have had enough and more options are popping up. They are not the same TG's. every year is a mass defection, by December when all has settled the teams look completely different. What was once a very successful club is no longer just ask all the top players that have left. Just because someone is D-1 coach doesn't mean you fall for anything. Also lets not forget that 2020 was most successful and at there best under the guidance of another coach, since then many talented kids have left , and the club is now struggling to stop the bleed.

And you were charged handsomely for every one of Elevate's parties and pre-tryout practices. Legacy way more competitive than Elevate at this level. Legacy is an option, but they don't have 8 age levels like other lax programs. The more teams you have, the more difficult it is to maintain elite coaching on B and C teams (and sometimes A teams)

That's wrong actually. Our 2020 coach paid for our team dinner herself and also generously bought the girls team shirts as a Christmas gift. Our girls also asked her themselves to add a few extra practices and she did. I know for a fact we practiced more than any other TE team. One week she even practiced 5 times a week. None were mandatory, it was just a nice gesture. Stop trying to make positive posts into negatives. This is in no way DK. I'm sure BOTC can vouch for that by looking at the IP address or whatever else they do. I'm so tired of the constant negativity. Let's allow positive comments to remain positive.

easy tiger....just the idea that people are yapping about a specific program is something directors want....if somebody is not talking about the program, no matter what's being said, it aint (yes, I used aint) a good thing...don't you think that some talk is better than no talk?...signed, anonymous--ya' dbag

Why can't college coaches be affiliated with club lacrosse?

Hey Einstein, I am sure you know who coaches the 2020 Elevate Blue team--directors daughter--so who do you think "generously" paid for the team party and those gift Xmas shirts? me thinks it came from the coffers that you and all of the Elevate family so generously filled

Keep trying to be negative. Our coach did a fantastic thing and people will try to find a way to negate that. Get over yourselves and go enjoy your own team and coaches. We should be able to post a positive thing without our coach's kind gestures being questioned. Ridiculous.
Sincerely, the directors daughter.

It would be very smart of Legacy to get those emails out by Friday knowing the TG girls that tried out have to accept by tomorrow.

And if you didn't respond yet to TG, they will send you numerous email reminders to make your decision. Sounds like they are having trouble filling spots.

we haven't responded to TG yet and haven't received one reminder...Let me guess my daughter is not one of the important ones? You guys need to move on and grow up. There is a good chance that 90% of the posters here are fathers who are 30-50+ pounds overweight and have zero athleticism yet they continue to mock 12-14 year old girls as they live vicariously through their own student athletes. get over it, stop. your daughter is embarrassed for you . and so am I.
